Top 10 1997 Plymouth Voyager Questions & Answers

the diagram is located under the cover of the fuse box.

They are full of baloney. Ther's a switch underneath the shift lever that engages when you shiht into reverse. The mechanic probably loosened it when reconnecting the shift linkage to the new tranny.

Thay may have knocked the switch out of position, which would cause the lights to go on in some other gear than reverse. That would be the first thing I check.

Good luck !

if all the fuses are good, it could either be the instrument cluster relay, or the fuse box ground wire, it may have been shorted out, or could have became loose, this is all i can think that it could be, i really hope this helps

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Hope this helps you out.

First check fuse 17. The coil pack is powered by the auto shut-down relay, which also powers the injectors and oxygen sensor heaters. You can check the power there with a 12 volt test light. Attach the light clip to engine ground and back probe the dark green/orange wire terminal of the coil connector. The light should come on if you have power to the coil. To test the coil itself, pull the wires off of a spark plug from each part of the coil pack and place the wire tips near engine ground. Then, with the key on, briefly jump the other coil connector terminal backs to ground. They should release a spark from the wire connected to the coil corresponding to that terminal.
If power is not getting to the coil, try swapping the auto shutdown relay with another relay in the relay box under the hood. If this doesn't work, interrogate the relay socket to see if it is getting the negative command signal from the PCM. Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6022358-relay_check for a method of checking for the negative command signal. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Need to get at the crankshaft seal, usually by removing the crankshaft pulley and using a seal remover to take out the old seal, then put a new seal in.

Here are some instructions on how to do the 'rear' seal:
Rear Main Seal Removal & Installation 2.4L, 3.3L & 3.8L Engines To Remove:

1. Remove the transaxle and flexplate. CAUTION
   Make sure not to damage the crankshaft sealing surface when removing the oil seal.
   
2. Insert a flat-bladed pry tool or equivalent through the dust lip at an angle.
3. Carefully pry the oil seal out of the engine. Pry against the chamfered edge of the crankshaft, do not damage the sealing surface of the crankshaft or an oil leak may occur.

To Install:
CAUTION
Smooth any burr or rough edge on the crankshaft with 400 grit sandpaper to prevent seal damage during installation.
NOTE: When installing seal, no lube on seal is needed.

1. Place special tool 6926-1 seal guide or equivalent on crankshaft.
2. Place the seal on the guide. Make sure the seal lip is facing the crankshaft and the guide tool remains on the crankshaft. Rear crankshaft seal installation (2.4L engine shown, 3.3L & 3.8L engines similar)
   
   CAUTION
   Do not drive the seal into the block past flush. An oil leak may occur.
   
3. Drive the seal into the block using a seal driver or special tool 6926-2 and handle C-4171 until the tool bottoms out against the block and the seal is flush.
4. Install the flexplate and transaxle.

3.0L Engine To Remove:

1. Remove the transaxle and flexplate. CAUTION
   Make sure not to damage the crankshaft sealing surface when removing the oil seal.
   
2. Remove the oil seal with housing from the rear of the engine block.
3. Remove the oil seal from the housing.

To Install:

1. Clean the sealing surfaces on the seal housing and engine block.
2. Use a commercial seal installer to install the seal in the seal housing.
3. Apply a light film of motor oil to the seal lip.
4. Apply silicone sealant to the oil seal housing sealing surface and install the housing with seal on the engine block. Tighten all bolts to 104 in. lbs. (12 Nm).
5. Install the flexplate and transmission.

using a small pair of vise-grips, lock onto the shaft (what is left of it) and unscrew it from the steering column-you can get one at the dealer, but a junk yard shaft is a lot cheaper and they are everywhere.

Hi, if your steering wheel does not lock into position when adjusted, then you have a disengaged Level which needs to be engaged back in place..
Remove the plastic housing from around the steering column and ignition area. It is held with screws from under the column area. There are two screws from the top that you may need a short screwdriver to reach. Some are phillips and some are hex head. Just take your time it will come.
Once open you will see interlocking teeth or "gears" on the top of the column. One in mounted to the column the other engages into the tilt release teeth. This is the tilt mechanism. The top lever is lifted up by the adjusting lever. When the teeth are disengaged the wheel can be moved up and down.
Look to see the linkage is intact from the lever to the top gear. Pull the adjusting lever to see it is working and trying to lift the top gear up.
Note that while working you should have the negative cable removed from the battery. You do not want to trigger the air bag or damage the electronics. With the negative cable removed you will not have a problem.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor

OPERATION

See Figures 1, 2 and 3

Fig. Fig. 1: MAP sensor location-2.4L engine

Fig. Fig. 2: MAP sensor location-3.0L engine

Fig. Fig. 3: MAP sensor location-3.3L and 3.8L engines
The PCM supplies 5 volts of direct current to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor. The MAP sensor then converts the intake manifold pressure into voltage. The PCM monitors the MAP sensor output voltage. As vacuum increases, the MAP sensor voltage decreases proportionately. Also, as vacuum decreases, the MAP sensor voltage increases proportionally.
With the ignition key ON , before the engine is started, the PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor voltage. While the engine operates, the PCM figures out intake manifold pressure from the MAP sensor voltage. Based on the MAP sensor voltage and inputs from other sensors, the PCM adjusts spark advance and the air/fuel ratio. The MAP sensor is mounted to the intake manifold, near the throttle body inlet to the manifold. The sensor connects electrically to the PCM.

TESTING

See Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7

Fig. Fig. 4: Disengage the MAP sensor connector-3.0L engine shown

WARNING When testing the MAP sensor, make sure the harness wires do not become damaged by the test meter probes.

1. Visually check the connector, making sure it is attached properly and that all of the terminals are straight, tight and free of corrosion.

Fig. Fig. 5: MAP sensor connector terminal identifications: (A) 5-volt supply, (B) sensor signal, (C) ground-3.0L engine shown

Fig. Fig. 6: MAP sensor connector terminal identifications-2.4L, 3.3L and 3.8L engines

Fig. Fig. 7: Using a digital volt-ohmmeter, test the MAP sensor voltage-3.0L engine shown

1. Test the MAP sensor output voltage at the sensor connector between terminals B and C (2.4L, 3.3L and 3.8L engines), or A nd B (3.0L engine).
2. With the ignition switch ON and the engine not running, the output voltage should be 4-5 volts. The voltage should fall to 1.5-2.1 volts with a hot, neutral idle speed condition. If OK, go to the next step. If not OK, go to Step 5.
3. Test the PCM terminal 36 for the same voltage described in the previous step to make sure the wire harness is OK. Repair as necessary.
4. Test the MAP sensor ground circuit at the sensor connector terminal A (2.4L, 3.3L and 3.8L engines) or C (3.0L engine) and PCM terminal 43. If OK, go to the next step. If not OK, repair as necessary.
5. Test the MAP sensor supply voltage between the sensor connector terminals A and B (2.4L, 3.3L and 3.8L engines) r A and C (3.0L engine) with the ignition key in the ON position. The voltage should be about 4.5-5.5 volts.
6. There should also be 4.5-5.5 volts at terminal 61 of the PCM. If OK, replace the MAP sensor.
7. If not, repair or replace the wire harness as required.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

See Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4
The MAP sensor is mounted on the intake manifold near the throttle body inlet to the manifold.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. On the 3.0L engine only, disconnect the vacuum hose from the MAP sensor.
3. Detach the electrical connector from the MAP sensor.
4. Unfasten the mounting screws, then remove the MAP sensor from the vehicle.

To install:

1. Install the sensor onto the intake manifold and tighten the mounting screws to 35 inch lbs. (4 Nm).
2. Attach the sensor electrical connector.
3. On the 3.0L engine, connect the vacuum hose to the MAP sensor.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.
