Answer
Hi William,
Use the igntion key to get to the engine controller memory to learn if it has noticed any faults and stored them as coded numbers: turn the key:"on-off-on-off-on and leave on" doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time. Then watch the check engine light, which remains 'on', to see it begin to flash, pause, flash, etc. Count the number of flashes before each pause. Then repeat the process to be sure of an accurate set of flash counts. Then tell me the counts in the order of appearance and we'll go from there.

PS Sorry for the delay but I just found your question in the 'pool' to which it had been referred by the other Chrysler expert, Kevin.
