how do i get a check engine code for my 3.9?

 

[Guest]

nobody knows either of my questions?:rant:

How to check codes

1. turn your ignition switch off
2. press and hold the trip reset knob
3. tutn the ingition swith to on but do not start
4. hold the reset knob for approx 10 seconds of until the wrd chec appears in the display then release
let me know if this works for you.

the trip meter is not electronic, the numbers just spin back to 0.

Try the Haynes Repair Manual .

You can buy it from your nearest bookstore or you can borrow it from the library.

You don't have an AutoZone around? They'll check it and tell you what codes you're shooting for free.

no, my town is 2000 people big:rant:

turn your ignition switch on-off 3 times ending in the on position .watch your check engine light it will flash five times there will be a pause and it will flash five more times this means there are no codes stored. 5 pause 5 means code 55. 3 pause 2 means code 32 . 1 pause 2 means code 12 and so on. this is how i checked codes on my 96 Ram. i used to have a code book for 96 dodges but sold it with the truck hope this helps.

2 methods for getting codes:

turn the key on/off/on/off/on

"on" being so the dash lights come on ,but the engine doesn't crank.
Turn your key on while holding in your trip reset button..hold till a check system starts..

Jesus, Jim I hope you didn't type all that in by hand!!! :lol

 

[DakIsBackJack]

that was alot of typing dude

 

[firemanjoe789]

Around here at least Autozone will only check the codes if the check engine light is already on. My ABS light came on and I wanted to confirm it was the speed sensor but they wouldn't check it for me. The ignition switch trick dosen't work until I believe 2000, I know it didn't on my 99'.

The "on, off, on, off, on off, on" Will not work on his 96. You're gonna have to get it on a scanner.
