Dodge Spirit 1991 - SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

The self-diagnostic capabilities of this system, if properly utilized, can simplify testing. The Single Board Engine Controller (SBEC) monitors several different engine control system circuits.

If a problem is sensed with a monitored circuit, a fault code is stored in the SBEC, the CHECK ENGINE light illuminates and SBEC enters limp-in mode. In limp-in mode, SBEC compensates for component failure by substituting information from other sources. This allows vehicle operation until repairs can be made.

Once codes are known, refer to FAULT CODES listed in this article to determine the questionable circuit. Test circuits and repair or replace components as required. If problem is repaired or ceases to exist, the SBEC cancels that fault code after 50 ignition on/off cycles. To clear codes, refer to CLEARING CODES in this article.

A specific fault code results from a particular system failure. It is NOT necessarily the reason for that failure. The fault code does not condemn a specific component. The fault code calls out a probable malfunction area.

Dodge Spirit 1991 - Hard Failures

Hard failures cause CHECK ENGINE light to illuminate and remain on until the malfunction is repaired. If light comes on and remains on (light may flash) during vehicle operation, cause of malfunction must be determined using diagnostic (code) charts. If a sensor fails, SBEC will use a substitute value in its calculations, allowing engine operation in limp-in mode. In this condition, vehicle will run but driveability may be poor.

Dodge Spirit 1991 - Intermittent Failures

Intermittent failures may cause CHECK ENGINE light to flicker or stay on until the intermittent fault goes away. However, the corresponding trouble code will be retained in SBEC memory. If related fault does not reoccur within a certain time frame, related trouble code will be erased from SBEC memory. Intermittent failures can be caused by faulty sensor, bad connector or wiring related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in TESTS W/O CODES article.

Dodge Spirit 1991 - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

- ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS to retrieve fault codes. If fault codes are NOT present and/or DRB-II (Diagnostic Readout Box-II) is used, proceed to one of the following tests:

• Go to NO START TEST 1A (NS-1A) chart if a no-start condition exists or engine stalls after start-up. Perform indicated VERIFICATION PROCEDURE chart after repairs. Ensure charts apply to engine being tested.
• Go to DRIVEABILITY TEST 1A (DR-1A) chart if engine runs but has performance problems. Perform indicated VERIFICATION PROCEDURE chart after repairs. Ensure charts apply to engine being tested.

NOTE:

When using trouble shooting charts for diagnosis, DO NOT skip any steps in chart or incorrect diagnosis may result.

Before proceeding with diagnosis, the following precautions must be followed:

• Vehicle must have a fully charged battery and functional charging system.
• Probe SBEC connector from pin side. DO NOT backprobe SBEC connector.
• DO NOT cause short circuits when performing electrical tests. This will set additional fault codes, making diagnosis of original problem more difficult.
• DO NOT use a test light in place of a voltmeter.
• When checking for spark, ensure coil wire is NO more than 1/4" from ground. If coil wire is more than 1/4" from ground, damage to vehicle electronics and/or SBEC may result.
• DO NOT prolong testing of fuel injectors or engine may hydrostatically (liquid) lock.
• Always repair lowest fault code number (CHECK ENGINE light) or first fault displayed (DRB-II) first.
• Always perform verification procedure test after repairs are made.
• Always disconnect DRB-II after use.
• Always disconnect DRB-II before charging battery.

Dodge Spirit 1991 - ENTERING ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS

NOTE:

Manufacturer recommends using DRB-II (Diagnostic Readout Box-II) to diagnose the system. CHECK ENGINE light function can be used but has limited diagnostic usage.

Dodge Spirit 1991 - Check Engine Light Diagnostic Mode

1. Start engine (if possible). Move transmission shift lever through all positions, ending in Park. Turn A/C switch on, then off (if equipped).
2. Turn engine off. Without starting engine again, turn ignition on, off, on, off and on. Record 2-digit fault codes as displayed by flashing CHECK ENGINE light.
3. For example, Code 23 is displayed as flash, flash, 4-second pause, flash, flash, flash. After a slightly longer pause, other codes stored are displayed in numerical order.
4. When CHECK ENGINE light begins to flash fault codes, it cannot be stopped. If you lose count, it will be necessary to start over. Code 55 indicates end of fault code display.
5. - FAULT CODES table to translate trouble code number to a system fault description (DRB-II display). Once trouble area is identified, refer to NO START TEST 1A (NS-1A) or DRIVEABILITY TEST 1B (DR-1B) trouble shooting chart to diagnose problem. Use trouble shooting chart titles to find appropriate chart.
6. As an example, a 3.0L engine starts and runs, but has a driveability problem. CHECK ENGINE light indicates a Code 14. - FAULT CODES table to translate trouble code number to a system fault description (DRB-II display).
7. When system fault description (DRB-II display) is obtained, refer to DR-1B: DRB-II FAULT MESSAGES since vehicle has a driveability problem. Select fault message and corresponding test from table and proceed to appropriate chart.

Dodge Spirit 1991 - System Test Mode

This function is not available in the engine diagnostics program.

Dodge Spirit 1991 - Read Faults Mode

This function allows the user to read and erase fault codes. A fault counter will appear along with fault displayed on DRB-II. As an example, DRB-II will display 1 OF 2 FAULTS. SBEC will store up to 8 fault messages. Faults are numbered in reverse order of setting. The most recent fault to occur will be number one. Vehicles without air conditioning will always have A/C CLUTCH RELAY CKT (circuit) stored in memory. This fault will always be number one if vehicle is not equipped with A/C. If no fault messages are stored, DRB-II will display NO FAULTS DETECTED and start counter will show 0 STARTS SINCE ERS (Erased).

A start counter will appear below DRB-II fault counter display. Start counter counts the number of times vehicle is started since faults were last set, erased, or battery was disconnected. This helps determine if fault is intermittent. Memory space limits start counter to first 3 faults. Start counter of zero equals a hard fault. Start counter of more than zero indicates an intermittent fault. Start counter will count up to 255 starts. If no fault messages are stored, DRB-II will display NO FAULTS DETECTED and start counter will show 0 STARTS SINCE ERS (Erased).

Dodge Spirit 1991 - State Display Mode

This function allows user to read states or values of a variety of sensors, inputs/outputs and components.

The SBEC can only recognize high and low states on switch circuits. SBEC cannot tell the difference between an open or short circuit or a defective switch. If DRB-II displays a change between INPUT HIGH and INPUT LOW, it can be assumed that the entire switch circuit to the SBEC is functioning.

Dodge Spirit 1991 - Actuator Test Mode

This function allows the user to check for proper operation of output circuits or devices, which the SBEC cannot internally recognize. DRB-II allows SBEC to activate these outputs or devices, allowing an observer to verify proper operation.

Most of the tests available in this mode provide an audible or visual indication of device operation (click of relay contacts, spray fuel, etc.). With the exception of an intermittent condition, if a device functions properly during its test, it can be assumed that the device, wiring and its driver circuit are functioning properly.

Dodge Spirit 1991 - DR-1A: CHECKING SYSTEM FOR FAULTS

NOTE:

Battery must be fully charged and at rated capacity before performing any driveability test procedure. If vehicle starts and stalls repeatedly, perform test NS-2A: CHECKING FUEL SYSTEM.

1. Connect DRB-II to engine diagnostic connector. Read fault messages. If DRB-II displays fault messages, go to DR-1B: DRB-II FAULT MESSAGES. Go to step 9) if DRB-II displays ENGINE COLD TOO LONG. If DRB-II displays INTERNAL CONTROLLER FAILURE, go to step 8). If DRB-II displays NO FAULTS, go to next step.
2. If NO FAULTS message appears on DRB-II display, start engine. Allow engine to reach normal operating temperature. Set engine speed manually (DO NOT use DRB-II to set speed) to 2000 RPM for about 10 seconds. Return engine to idle.
3. If vehicle is not equipped with A/C, go to step 5). If vehicle is equipped with A/C, put A/C fan on low speed. Turn A/C on. If engine stalls when A/C is turned on, turn ignition off.
4. Disconnect engine controller connector. Inspect engine controller connector for corroded or loose terminals. Repair as required. Turn ignition on. Put DRB-II in voltmeter mode.
5. Probe engine controller connector DB (Dark Blue) wire at cavity No. 9. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair DB wire. If voltage is more than 10 volts, replace engine controller. Perform test VER-2: VERIFICATION PROCEDURE 2.
6. If vehicle is equipped with A/T, apply brakes and shift through all gears. Return shift lever to Park. Read fault messages displayed on DRB-II.
7. If DRB-II still shows NO FAULTS, check TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS for any pertinent information relating to driveability problems. If a TSB exists, perform corrective action. If driveability problem continues after performing TSB procedure or if no TSB information is found, perform test DR-30A: CHECKING SECONDARY IGNITION & TIMING.
8. If INTERNAL CONTROLLER FAILURE message appears on DRB-II display, replace engine controller. Perform test VER-2: VERIFICATION PROCEDURE 2.
9. If ENGINE COLD TOO LONG message appears on DRB-II display, check engine cooling system. Repair as required. Perform test VER-3: VERIFICATION PROCEDURE 3.
