Test 5A - Testing DRB-II

1992 Dodge and Ram Caravan LE, 3.3 R, FWDSECTION Test 5A - Testing DRB-II

Although only manufacturer is equipped to physically test DRB-II, you should be able to determine state of your DRB-II by using following substitution techniques and process of elimination.

  1. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect DRB-II adapter cable and DRB-II cartridge. Locate a second vehicle with identical equipment to original vehicle. Connect DRB-II assembly to second vehicle, and turn ignition switch to ON position. Use DRB-II as it was used on first vehicle. If DRB-II results are not as before, problem is not DRB-II. Return to test that sent you here.
  2. If same problem still exists as before substituting vehicles, DRB-II has a defective adapter cable or DRB-II cartridge. If a second DRB-II cartridge for the same vehicle is available, try substituting DRB-II cartridge. If DRB-II now functions correctly, original DRB-II cartridge is defective. Use good DRB-II cartridge, and return to test that sent you here.
  3. If DRB-II still does not function correctly, substitute a second DRB-II adapter cable. If a second DRB-II adapter cable of same type is not available, use a SCI or CCD adapter cable. If DRB-II now functions correctly, DRB-II has a defective adapter cable. Use good adapter cable, and return to test that sent you here.
  4. If DRB-II still does not work, substitute a second DRB-II. If a second DRB-II is not available, send DRB-II in for repair. If DRB-II now functions correctly, original DRB-II is defective. Use good DRB-II, and return to test that sent you here.
