Section 45 (Engine Control System & Engine Component Tests): Introduction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Chrysler New Yorker and 1996 Chrysler LHS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before testing separate components or systems, perform procedures in the BASIC TESTING article. Since many computer-controlled and monitored components set a trouble code if they malfunction, also perform procedures in the TESTS W/CODES article.

NOTE: Testing individual components does not isolate shorts or opens. 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 wiring harness shorts or opens.
