Hello again,
I commented yesterday that I had the same problem and had done some tests in an attempt to identify the cause.
I contacted a local mobile mechanic, and when I described the symptoms, explained the tests that I'd carried out, and told him of my theory that the fuel filter might be partially blocked he said, "Yes, I'm sure you're right. I've had to do 14 Voyagers in the last month with the same problem!" Hopeful that he was right, but still a bit sceptical because the car had a service less than a month ago in which the fuel filter was listed as one of the replaced parts, I called him out. He came, removed the old filter, commented that "The old filter is really dirty and doesn't look to have been replaced for at least 25,000 miles!" inserted a new filter and the car has been running perfectly since. There's a marked improvement in the way the engine's running (not really surprisingly!) and this reinforces my belief that most (but not all) garages are only interested in taking your money and not doing the work.
For anyone interested, the process of replacing the filter was relatively straight forward and I think (if I ever have this problem again) I will replace it myself. On my Voyager (2001 RHD UK spec 2.5l TD) The fuel filter is located in the rear fuel pump, situated just forwards of the rear axle, on the driver's side of the fuel tank. The filter is removed by using a spanner of about an inch. Note, once the new filter is inserted it's important to prime the engine well before starting it otherwise it will need to be bled (which is apparently a tricky job on the Voyager!) To prime the engine and get fuel through before starting it, you must turn the key in the ignition so that you hear the pump working (eventually the pump noise should stop), and repeat this several times (we did it about 10 times) before turning the key further to turn the engine over. This process makes sure that there's a constant stream of fuel through the new filter and up to the front where the engine is!
That's all the mechanic did, and it worked! Even my wife's happy (of course all things are relative!)
Hope this helps,
Richard.

One of the shift solenoids in transmission has caused a code and needs to be fixed or replaced by sounds of it. You are currently in what they call "limp mode". Take it to a dealer or tranny shop (reputable) have it scanned, and get a quote for repairs, and decide from there. Letting someone who doesn't know these transmissions play with it now, will certainly end up costing you a new or rebuilt one needing to be installed. If not taken to a dealer, and fluid & filter is changed, be sure to insist on Mopar ATF 4 transmission oil, and nothing else, should be used on it.

usually codes for the braking system will be under body or chassis. most of the time over the counter scanners will not have access to these modules. your problem could be anywhere from the abs module to one of the wheel speed sensors going bad. you can test the wheel speed sensors to see if they are working correctly by jacking the vehicle up and checking one wheel at a time. wheel speed sensors give out an a/c voltage when the reluctor ring on the axles passes by the sensor.
before you run the tests it would be a good idea to make sure the wheel speed sensors are clear of any debris where the sensor picks up the signal from the reluctor wheel.
using a digital multimeter set it to read a/c voltage on a 2v scale or lower is possible millivolt scale will usually work
disconnect the connector at the wheel speed sensor and touch the DMM to the terminals on the sensor itself ans spin the wheel, see if the DMM reads the voltage change as you spin the wheel. repeat these steps for each sensor. *the voltage should steadily rise and fall as the wheel speeds up and slows down respectively. if the voltage is all over the place its usually a good sign that the sensor is bad.
if all sensors seem to be working properly you can trace the wiring from each sensor to see if there is a short or break in the wiring.
without the proper scan tools testing the module is near impossible unless you can find the schematics for the module and start testing inputs and outputs.
hope this helps!

leave the power on for 30mins and the lock will turn of
then enter the code
