WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2002 Dodge Caravan, 2002 Chrysler Voyager, 2002 Chrysler Town & Country, and 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before testing separate components or systems, follow proper workflow. See DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - CARAVAN, TOWN & COUNTRY, & VOYAGER article. If no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) are present and a no-start condition exists, proceed to BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - CARAVAN, TOWN & COUNTRY, & VOYAGER article. If no DTCs are present and a driveability condition exists, proceed to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - CARAVAN, TOWN & COUNTRY, & VOYAGER article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE STALLS, etc.).

NOTE: Testing individual components does not isolate short or open circuits. Perform all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use ohmmeter to isolate shorted or open wiring harness.
