I drive a 2000 chrysler sebring my check engine light is on and the code that comes up is p1698 i have no idea what that means,my car doesnt seem to be doing anything weird, help!
Here is my "take" on the P1698 code:
The P1698 code means that no digital data is being received by the
powertrain controller from the transmission control module, located on
the right inner fender. The manual says to check the ccd bus wires
between the module and the rest of the system using the Chrysler
diagnostic readout box. But if you don't have one then I think you can
do the same thing by measuring for continuity (near 0 resistance)
between pin 4 of its plug and pin 11 of the data link plug under the
dash or pin 59 of the powertrain controller plug.
Then check the resistance between pin 43 if its plug and pin 3 of the
data link connector or pin 60 of the powertrain controller plug. The
powertrain controller is on the opposite side of the engine compartment
on the left inner fender. These module plugs are held in place by a
bolt. If the continuity between the transmission and the powertrain CCD
wires checks to be ok, then according to the manual the trans
controller should be replaced. You may be smart however to find an
honest shop that has a code reader and let them determine for sure that
it is the TCM and not the Powertrain control module (PCM) that is the
fault. These modules are expensive enough that you would not want to
replace the wrong one.
The other symptoms (1-3) are likely related to the problem because they
are also dependent on the digital data communication bus for getting
their instructions or sending their information. The passenger side
window is probably not related to this, but rather a failed connection,
switch or motor.
CODE -1698 IS NO COMMUNICATION W/TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE.NORMALY IT IS AN INTENAL TCM PROBLEM

My car runs rough once I go over 2000 RPMS. A check engine light comes on. I get error code P0344
