Chrysler Repair: wiring diagrams: code 0340, 0403, camshaft position sensor, egr solenoid


Question
QUESTION: Do you know how I can go about to get a diagram of the wiring for three codes. it's is for a 1999 Chrysler Town and Country Limited. Codes are P0340, P0403, and P1391? Thanks

ANSWER: Hi Jamie,
Those involve the camshaft position sensor and the egr solenoid. If you will tell me which size (L) engine you have I can tell you the specific connection of their wires. I only have the '04 manuals on CD but if the diagrams are identical to those for '98/'02 that I have on hard copy I can copy and attach them to an e-mail.
Send a follow-up question where you tell me you email address, but select the 'private' option so it won't be hidden.

QUESTION: Hi Roland thanks for the quick response. the engine is a 3.8L.

Answer
Hi Jamie,
On the camshaft position sensor, it has a black/light blue ground wire that is routed to pin 43 at the pcm, an orange wire that carries 8V that comes from pin 44, and a tan/yellow signal wire that goes to pin 33 of the pcm. If you put a voltmeter between the black/light blue and the tan/yellow wires (use pins to penetrate the insulation) and then turn the engine by hand with a wrench you should observe the voltage to change from 5 to 0.3V a couple of times per revolution if the sensor is good (ignition key has to be in the run position). If you have a situation where the engine stalls out after a few miles, then check that signal at that very time as the 1391 code is pointing to the signal being absent intermittently, and when the sensor is failing it does so when it gets warmed up.
The egr solenoid has a gray/yellow wire to pin 40 of the pcm and a white/black wire that carries 12v when the key is in the start/run positions. It may be that your problem is not wiring but rather that the egr valve itself is hung up with crud on the valve stem. So spray some WD-40 on the stem where it enters the body of the valve and then use the tip of a screwdriver inserted in the slot of the stem to move the stem in back and forth to free up the action.
