A p1698 means the pcm is not recieving a bus message from the tcm. The vehicle bus is one wire that runs to each module as there means of communication. Could be a broken wire, bad connection, or possibly a bad module. Unless your pretty sure about what your doing and have some good wiring diagrams you should probably take it to your dealer.

SOURCE: check enginie light is on code that comes up is p1698 i have no idea what that means and my car seems to be ok

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.

SOURCE: What does a troubleshooting code of P1698 mean?

Sticking relay was my problem. Everytime I changed the battery I lost cluster and I think interior light. Fuse box relay center under the hood, I would unplug each relay then plug back in until I found the one that controlled the cluster. Check engine light is not related to cluster issue. You can have the check engine light check for free from most Auto parts stores. Hope this helped.

SOURCE: check engine light is on with code p1698 what is

The code P1698 is: No CCD messages from TCM. That means the communication between the Transmission Control Module and the Power Control Module is lost. Sometimes this happens when a PCM, or TCM is replaced without being flashed, a bad connection at the PCM, TCM, or a bad TCM. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: When check engine indicator light came on in 1997

The P1698 code means that no digital data is being received by the powertrain controller (on the left inner fender) 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 .
Then check the resistance between pin 43 if its plug and pin 3 of the data link connector. Finally check continuity from pin 7 of the data connector and pin 65 of the powertrain connector (pink wire). If the continuity between the transmission and data link connector wires checks as well as from the connector to the PCM proves to be ok, then according to the manual the trans controller should be replaced. But you should also verify that there is either a + or - bias voltage of 2.5 volts on each of those wires as a loss of bias voltage will also cause this code.

Engine check light

It means that it didn't receive a signal from the transmision module.
Have your transmission control module checked.

To reset your engine codes:
Remove the negative terminal of your battery (10mm wrench).
Turn your ignition key to START and hold it there for about 15 seconds.
Turn your ignition key to OFF and remove it.
Connect the negative terminal of your battery.
