ICE IN THE FUEL LINES/FILTER. GET SOME HEET!AND ADD TO YOUR FUEL SYSTEM.
After fixing the cause of the problem. you clear code with a scan tool, or by unhooking the battery.
That happens when the computer detects a problem.. You need to have the computer checked for trouble codes.
The first step is to have the trans computer checked for codes. The computer will default to 2nd when it detects a problem and sets a code.
this issue is usually caused by the output speed sensor. that is a common problem with all Chrysler products. it is located on the transmission
You purchase a $8,000.00 computer and press "erase codes." If the light comes back on, which I am sure it will, then you repair the problem. Then you erase the code again.
I have a 98 Concorde. My backup lights stopped working and I had my independent garage mechanic check it out while working on another problem and he told me the switch is internal,inside the transmission housing. I didn't pursue it futher. I'm not about to have them tear into the transmission just to replace a simple switch. Another example of Chrysler's wonderful engineering.
My 96 Concorde had the same problem. I found a bad ground and that helped a great deal. After looking at how the headlight lens had faded I but new one for about $120.00. replacing the lens took about an hour and a half.
There are two speed sensors, an input and output. They are located on the transmission. If the problem is the speedometer not working it is the output sensor located on the driver side of the rear of the transmission.
I'd start with the plugs and wires but it may well be the timing belt. It could also be the lower air intake or the air flow sensor. You really need to take it to a dealership and have them diagnose the problem.
Broken/ damaged motors (not likely if both don't work) Damaged wiring Blown fuse Check the fuses first this is the easiest/ cheapest problem to solve.
This is a fairly common problem on these vehicles. It is usually caused by a bad body control module, or BCM. If you buy a new one it has to be reprogrammed for your car by the dealer.
The check engine light comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to AutoZone or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area.
