Replying to: xwesx (Aug 27, 2009 1:53 pm) And, when there is a problem that occurs during the calibration process, here are what the trouble codes mean:   HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC's) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) DEFINITION/DRB III® DISPLAY 0 PASSED ALL TESTS 1 MODE ACTUATOR DID NOT REACH "DEFROST" POSITION 2 MODE ACTUATOR DID NOT REACH "PANEL" POSITION 3 BLEND/PASSENGER ACTUATOR DID NOT REACH "COLD" STOP 4 BLEND/PASSENGER ACTUATOR DID NOT REACH "HOT" STOP 5 FIN SENSOR "OPEN" 6 FIN SENSOR "SHORTED" 7 ZONE/DRIVER ACTUATOR DID NOT REACH "COLD" STOP 8 ZONE/DRIVER ACTUATOR DID NOT REACH "HOT" STOP 9 CONTROL MODULE INTERNAL FAILURE   Note that if a system fails, the intermittent wiper button's light will flash the appropriate number of times, followed by a single flash of the rear wiper button, followed by either the next trouble code or the same code over. Once all codes are read out via flashing, the first code is repeated.   In my case, codes 5 and 6 appeared, indicating fin sensor "open" (5) and "shorted" (6).

Replying to: pauld2100 (Sep 29, 2009 5:05 pm) The crankshaft position sensor is located on the transmission housing, just aft of the engine. If you pull off the air box (that is bolted to the cross member in front of the engine) as well as the tubes that connect to the throttle body and the air cleaner housing, you can see the sensor one the back side of the transmission housing just behind the engine. It is a little easier to find if you locate the wiring harness that plugs it in and follow it up to the sensor.   As for the ASD relay, it is the first of the larger black relays in the strip, on the right side top if you are looking at the unit from in front of the vehicle. there is a small 10-amp fuse located directly "above" it, and the fuel pump relay is directly below.   At least, this is the lay out on the 1998 Caravan - I am not sure what you have or how it is laid out.

Replying to: xwesx (Sep 29, 2009 5:15 pm) Ok thanks, I have a 2003, and the air cleaner is on the passanger side and the trannys on the driver side, so I also had a code PO134 O2 sensor is what it's calling bad... Is that crank sensor on the tranny itself or on the engine? Replies to this message: pauld2100 (Sep 30, 2009 2:02 pm) xwesx (Sep 30, 2009 3:08 pm)

Replying to: pauld2100 (Sep 30, 2009 12:47 pm) It is on the bell housing between the engine and transmission (although the housing is part of the transmission). The sensor reads off the pressure plate, which is mounted directly behind the engine and is inside the bell housing.

Van is having a hard time starting. Problem just started the last 3 times I went to start van. Gas, Speed and Temp gauges started acting wacky going from left to right and then back again(never done before) and it seemed hesitant to turn over. Now car doesnt really want to start at all. Any advise please???? Replies to this message: cbwilsha (Nov 08, 2009 12:44 pm) pauld2100 (Nov 08, 2009 2:13 pm) ilsotb98 (Nov 08, 2009 5:57 pm)

Replying to: ilsotb98 (Nov 08, 2009 11:46 am) When that exact same thing happened to me, a new battery cured everything.   C.B.

Replying to: ilsotb98 (Nov 08, 2009 11:46 am) Hi, Well I would try cleaning the battery terminals first, then check all the fuses (not to see if they are bad but for a build up of corrosion on them, it will look like a film is on them). if thats doesnt work have it scanned, not code read scan the computer...,.

Replying to: ilsotb98 (Nov 08, 2009 11:46 am) I am starting to think too it is my battery. Praying is a better word. It all of a sudden hit me. Some time ago I had purchased an adapter for my ipod that plugs in the lighter. If I left it in it would reset my radio stations as if battery was draining. Well I realized I just started using it again and it has been plugged in since Friday. So when my husband gets home he is going to see if he can charge my battery. I only pray that is the problem. Simple is good. Thanks you very much for the responses!!!!
