Chrysler Trouble Codes
Chrysler Manufacturer specific trouble Codes
The rules for OBDII require all manufacturers to utilize a set of global/generic trouble codes. This is a partial list of OBDII Manufacturer Specific Trouble Codes for Chrysler. Manufacturers are allowed to use “enhanced/manufacturer specific” powertrain codes that start at P1XXX and go up from there. Inexpensive scan tools usually can’t read enhanced codes. Plus, there are Body “B” codes, Chassis “C” codes, Communication “U” codes that the cheapo units can’t read.
Parts store units usually only read generic powertrain P codes. So you could go to a parts store and get a “no code” yet have an enhanced code or a code in another system.
NOTE: NEVER replace a sensor or component simply because that component’s name is mentioned in the trouble code. That’s the single most common DIY mistake. In fact, parts manufacturers tell us that 80% of sensors (especially oxygen sensors) replaced by DIYers are actually good. DIYers simply jump the gun and replace the part, ignoring the possibility that the sensor may be accurately reporting the values it sees, meaning that you have an underlying air/fuel problem
Next, understand that not all code readers are capable of reading all possible codes.The rules for OBDII require all manufacturers to utilize a set of global/generic trouble codes. But manufacturers are also allowed to use “enhanced/manufacturer specific” powertrain codes that start at P1XXX and go up from there. Inexpensive scan tools usually can’t read enhanced codes. Plus, there are Body “B” codes, Chassis “C” codes, Communication “U” codes that the cheapo units can’t read.
