Engine Controls - Tests W/O Codes - Gasoline: Introduction

1994 Plymouth Voyager LE, 3.3 RSECTION Introduction
CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION section before disconnecting battery.

Before diagnosing symptoms or intermittent faults, perform steps in appropriate BASIC TESTING and G - TESTS W/ CODES article (if applicable) in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. See BASIC TESTING and G - TESTS W/ CODES TABLES for specific model. Use this article to diagnose driveability problems that exist when a hard fault code is not present.

NOTE: Some driveability problems may have been corrected by manufacturer with a revised Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Check with manufacturer for latest computer application.

Symptom checks can direct the technician to malfunctioning component(s) for further diagnosis. A symptom should lead to a specific component, system test or an adjustment specification.

NOTE: Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may also be referred to as CHECK ENGINE light.

Use intermittent test procedures to locate driveability problems that do not occur while the vehicle is tested. These problems may noticeably affect driveability or cause Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to glow. Also use these test procedures if a soft (intermittent) trouble code was present but no problem is found during self-diagnostic testing.

NOTE: For specific testing procedures, see appropriate I - SYS/COMP TESTS article in I - SYS/COMP TABLE. For specifications, see appropriate ADJUSTMENTS or SPECIFICATIONS article in ADJUSTMENTS and SPECIFICATIONS TABLES.
