Chrysler 1985-95 OBD1 code self-retrieval

To fix the check engine light on Chrysler’s vehicles made before 1995, you can get any engine fault code by just using your ignition key. You can then watch the codes being flashed in the dash.

Shown below is the only tool you need to get your code:


Within a period of 5 seconds, cycle the ignition keyON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON.

Count the number of time the MIL (check engine lamp)on the instrument panel flashes on and off. The number of flashes represents the trouble code. There is a short pause between the flashes representing the 1st and 2nd digits of the code. Longer pauses are used to separateindividual 2-digit trouble code.

An example of a flashed DTC is as follows:

-Lamp flashes 4 times, pauses, then flashes 6 more times. This denotes a DTC number 46.
-Lamp flashes 5 times, pauses, then flashes 5 more times. This indicates a DTC number 55. DTC 55 will always be the last code to be displayed.
