I took my 97 intrepid to emission bu it din't pass because the check engine light was on, they only give a code p1698 but i don't know what it means

check the fuse for the obd port --check the connections and wiring for thew port

Check crankshaft sensor.

Take it to autozone or another place like it and have them read the codes and tell us what they are.

Have you fixed whatever caused the code to come on? If not you will not be able to clear the code and pass emissions. Two reasons - 1. If the problem has not been repaired the check engine light will come back on. 2. Clearing the codes usual means that the OBDII monitors will also be cleared. There will be a code stored for this until the monitors are complete. If they see this co they know what you are up do and you do not pass.

P1698 DODGE - DTC Detected in Companion JTEC Mod

Put that code into google to see what it is & the fix

We don't have it

It is manufacture code, not generic PO code, unless
you find that not to be true on the net

Put in OBD2 P1698

check engin light means a problen with fuel or emissions, could be a gas, cap o2 sensor or others, best to get it scanned

either reset the computer or get a diagnostic scan to find the problem. the check engine light on doesn't mean it won't pass inspection

Is it the red check engine light? If it is then there is a emission problem take it to schucks or auto zone and have them pull the codes to see what they are, if any then get back to us with the information so we can give you a direction to go.

360 hassle - since you have a check-engine light on, and your car is an OBD2 car (96 or newer), go to AutoZone and have the ECU scanned (it's free). They'll give you the fault code(s), which you can post up here, and we can diagnose it then.
