He doesn' need a reader...the '01 has one built into the dash (on-off-on-off-on key jingle gets the odo to display the 4 digit P codes on the odo). He just needs to know what they mean...

As far as the P4003, did you mean P0403? I don't think Chrysler has a P4000 code...

The link I gave, it has entry form to quickly decode the code. And they are trying to keep their database updated.

The code is P4003 I'm sure I'll make a picture so I can send it to you.
At that website this code is not recognized, don't know why.
My car has only 38k miles and it's falling apart, really. It all started one week after 3 year warranty expired, I had to replace condenser, struts, links, blend air doors for ac, heat (whole dash had to be removed) atc head (controls) resistor for blower 6 times.
Right now I have high pitch noise while turning steering wheel even when driving.
Dealer said that's normal which is Bull.

I really would like to get rid of this car but I'm stuck with it until it dies on its own.

Dont think there is a P4 code.

So assuming a 0403, it would be EGR.

Other than teh code, what's the matter with the van?.

You could try OBDII.com

resistor for blower 6 times.

Looks like your dealer is trying to buy himself a Bentley
Resistor pack, once done RIGHT never needs another service

[norbert]

After all the repairs that I have done van it's OK, more less.
After replacing resistors I was told that atc head was shorted so I bought atc head and it's working fine.
However i still have check engine light lit and two codes present.
I really don't want to go to the dealer again so I'm trying to figure it out what to do.

What about EGR, what it that?

Since I'm here I was wondering if my van takes a lot of gas or not.
On full tank i make around 200 miles, usually less.
So if anyone can reply if that's normal I'll be greatful.

we're getting about 18 about town, off highway, stop n go.
22 on the highway.

3.3-v6, 4sp.

[norbert]

So on full tank you do 360 miles more less?
That means that there's something wrong with my car if on full tank I do around 200 miles.

[faterotong]

norbert, what engine you have in that '01? 200miles ain't a lot....we usually get 500-600km on one full tank...around 310-372miles...

There is definately something wrong with your van....unless you like to get on the go pedal a lot.

As for your problems, I'd suggest you to go to another dealer...doesn't seem like the one you're going to aint' helping you any bit

[norbert]

I do drive fast but this could be a problem?
If road is empty i do like 60 70mph.
If this isn't a problem what else could it be?
This is the only car I ever had so I don't know.
I have tried to dealers already and looks like all dealers in my area are the same.
