Subject: Chrysler "Check Engine" Light Computer Codes

Tip: From the -- http://www.allpar.com/fix/80s-codes.html -- web site come the following 1980s-1990s Chrysler Computer Codes. It may or may not be complete. If you know of a better list, let me know, Tom Heald tom@fl-ink.com

To read the code:
  • Start with the ignition off. Within five seconds, switch the key on, off, on, off, on. (On is *not* start!)
  • The "check engine" light will flash. Count the flashes Each code is a two digit code, so a (for example) 23 would be FLASH FLASH (pause) FLASH FLASH FLASH (loong pause)
  • It will never flash more than 9 times, watch for pauses!
  • 55 is end of codes - it's normal. Before you call your dealer or mechanic, consider that the blink-spacing is not always perfectly uniform, so if you see 23 23, it's probably just a single 55. (Codes are not repeated.)
  • 33 is normal on earlier models if you don't have air conditioning.
  • On some models (such as a 1995 Neon), when the check engine light goes on, you may be able to get the codes simply by putting in the key and moving it to the RUN position; the light will blink out the codes by itself.
  • Please note that some codes are NOT included below, this is not a complete listing, but it IS very close to complete. It stemps from a list posted on the Mopar Mailing List, but many modifications have been made.
  • * Activates Power Limited/Check Engine light on some models.

IMPORTANT. Codes may be different for newer vehicles starting in the late 1990s. See the earlier section.

  • 11 No ignition reference signal detected during cranking (bad Hall effect) OR timing belt skipped one or more teeth; OR loss of either camshaft or crankshaft position sensor. Can cause the engine to stop working entirely with no limp-home mode.
  • 12 Battery or computer recently disconnected
  • 13* MAP sensor or vacuum line may not be working
  • 14* MAP sensor voltage below .16V or over 4.96V
  • 15 No speed/distance sensor signal
  • 16 Loss of battery voltage detected with engine running
  • 17 Engine stays cool too long (bad thermostat or coolant sensor?)
  • 21 Oxygen sensor signal doesn't change (stays at 4.3-4.5V). Probably bad oxygen sensor
  • 22 Coolant sensor signal out of range - May have been disconnected to set timing
  • 23 Incoming air temperature sensor may be bad
  • 24 Throttle position sensor over 4.96V (SEE NOTE #3)
  • 25 Automatic Idle Speed (AIS) motor driver circuit shorted or target idle not reached, vacuum leak found
  • 26 Peak injector circuit voltage has not been reached (need to check computer signals, voltage reg, injectors) (SEE NOTE #4 BELOW)
  • 27 Injector circuit isn't switching when it's told to (TBI)
    OR (MPI) injector circuit #1 not switching right
    OR (turbo) injector circuit #2 not switching right
    OR (all 1990-) injector output driver not responding
    - check computer, connections
  • 31 Bad evaporator purge solenoid circuit or driver
  • 32 (1984 only) power loss/limited lamp or circuit
  • 32 EGR gases not working (1988) - check vacuum, valve
  • 32 (1990-92, all but Turbo) computer didn't see change in air/'fuel ratio when EGR activated - check valve, vacuum lines, and EGR electrical
  • 33 Air conditioning clutch relay circuit open or shorted (may be in the wide-open-throttle cutoff circuit)
  • 34 (1984-86) EGR solenoid circuit shorted or open
  • 34 (1987-1991) speed control shorted or open
  • 35 Cooling fan relay circuit open or shorted
  • 35 (trucks) idle switch motor fault - check connections
  • 36 (turbo) Wastegate control circuit open or shorted
  • 36 (3.9/5.2 RWD) solenoid coil circuit (air switching)
  • 36 (Turbo IV) #3 Vent Solenoid open/short
  • 37 part throttle lock/unlock solenoid driver circuit (87-89)
    OR
    37 Trans temperature sensor voltage low (1995 and on)
  • 41* Alternator field control circuit open or shorted
  • 42 Automatic shutdown relay circuit open or shorted
  • 42 Fuel pump relay control circuit
  • 42 Fuel level unit - no change over miles
  • 43 Peak primary coil current not achieved with max dwell time
    OR
  • 43 Cylinder misfire
    OR
  • 43 Problem in power module to logic module interface
  • 44 No FJ2 voltage present at logic board
    OR
  • 44 Logic module self-diagnostics indicate problem
    OR
  • 44 Battery temperature out of range
  • 45 Turbo boost limit exceeded (engine was shut down by logic module)
  • 46 Battery voltage too high during charging or charging system voltage too low
  • 47 Battery voltage too low and alternator output too low
  • 51 Oxygen sensor stuck at lean position 
  • 52 Oxygen sensor stuck at rich position 
  • 53 Logic module internal problem
  • 54 No sync pickup signal during engine rotation (turbo only)
    OR
  • 54 Internal logic module fault ('84 turbo only) - or camshaft sensor/distributor timing 
  • 55 End of codes
  • 61 "Baro" sensor open or shorted
  • 62 EMR mileage cannot be stored in EEPROM
  • 62 PCM failure SRI mile not stored
  • 63 Controller cannot write to EEPROM
  • 64 Catalytic converter efficiency failure
  • 65 Power steering switch failure  
  • 88 Start of test (not usually given, don't expect it)
