2002 chrysler sebring 2.7 v6... problems with the car battery not staying charged... when im driving the battery light goes on first then the radio shuts off, then all other eletrical stuff dims(sumtimes the lights on the dash flicker on and off)... then when i hit the gas it does nothing the engine just revs up(only right before its about to die) i took the battery and altinator in to be checked at a local autozone and both were fine... the wires to the altinator look fine and one time the engine light came on with the codes p0700 and p1698... im lost
Sounds like a charging system issue. Just because the alternator itself tested fine doesn't mean it's getting power to the car and battery. Charge the battery and start the car (with everything connected normally, including alternator). While car is idling, disconnect the battery (negative post wI'll do). If car dies, there's a problem with the alternator wiring/harness. Once the vehicle is running, the alternator should provide plenty of power. Check voltage at battery (from alternator) and should be around 14V. Check alternator fuse.
Could be the voltage regulator in the alternator going out, which would need a new alternator.
SOURCE: how to fix code p1698
off the top of my head I am not sure w\hat exactly that code is although I do now it sound familiar. Most code tat are p one codes are usually more of an electrical problem or even a sensor. For that code all I can say right now is possibly a speed sensor issue or wiring

something has triggered the fail safe ,could be anything from a tail light bulb out to low brake fluid level,but i could be wrong of course and no doubt i am.europeon cars use encrypted software thats designed to be dealer only, american cars ??dont know about this but iam assuming their standard as lots of boy racer ,sunday car mechanics type tools for fault reading??here on a europeon car they tell you your not connected ??connection pins in different places and encrypted software.. makes any fault a dealer only job and lots of money,just to connect computer is around 80€ before you evan pay labour .

Have your charging system checked. I had a similar problem with a chrysler van - the lights would brighten and then dim periodically. it turned out to be the battery.
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.

try this site it might be of some use..its 2000 on...
