Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Cars / August 2008dash light stays on
I have a 2001 Dodge Caravan SE 3.3 Litre. Just a few hours ago I noticed a dash light staying on.....its called a malfunction indicator light and the symbol looks like an engine. It is situated beside the turn indicator light on the right side of the dash above the main cluster. I read on the internet that the "code" for the problem could be found by switching the key off and on several times, which I did, and found the code to be P0205. That apparently translates to "injector circuit malfunction"............A neighbour said that COULD mean a bad plug wire. Does anyone reading this have any experience with such an issue and is there any way to more exactly pinpoint what P0205 relates to? Any advice would be appreciated. >I have a 2001 Dodge Caravan SE 3.3 Litre.

I think it's unlikely that code would translate to a faulty plug wire. More likely a wire to one of your injectors has failed open-circuit - or the injector itself has failed - or the ECU has bitten the dust. Is the engine running rough (loping or misfiring?) > I have a 2001 Dodge Caravan SE 3.3 Litre.

You mention nothing about the way the engine is running. With a fault code like that you would get a noticeable drivability condition. No it would not be related to a plug or plug wire. Possible #5 injector, Pcm or wiring issues. A diag test with a DVOM will be needed to diagnose this problem. Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech > > I have a 2001 Dodge Caravan SE 3.3 Litre.

You will probably pay an hr to check it out and that should be a very easy test to do in order to find the problem. Since you know the problem is with the #5 injector all you do is check for 12 volts coming from the ASD and a ground going to the PCM.If the vehicle still falls within the 7/70 federal emission the labor and PCM would be free to you. (assuming the dealer did the repair) Glenn > On Aug 10, 9:52 pm, "maxpower" <gjbeas...@comcast.net> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Hello again...I was on my way this morning to a service centre when the light went out and stayed out. I guess i'll play it by ear for a day or so and see iif it stays out (I HOPE)!! Dodger I have a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport with a 3.3L and have a similar problem. The difference is mine is code p0202, which is injector circuit malfunction #2. It runs rough. My question is this, can I disconnect the wiring from each injector to see if it changes the idle. If I find one that does not change the idle, and I test it with a noid light to make sure it getting the proper signals, does this mean the injector needs replaced?

In other words, get an estimate for the diagnostic, or prepare to go home with an empty wallet. |
