Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: When using Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB-III) scan tool, all DTC's will be displayed. When using generic scan tool, it will be necessary to also use Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on instrument panel to retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). However, not all DTCs can be retrieved using generic scan tool and MIL. When using MIL to retrieve DTCs, some DTCs have more than one meaning. The MIL is unable to distinguish between different failures for a specified component.
