Re: Grand Voyager Engine not turning-good starter

Well, I reflowed the solder joints at the multipin connector, put it back, but still no change.

Can I get a PCM from the salvage yard? No security system issues i'm assuming....

Thanks

Yes but it can be tough. You have to find the same part number PCM as the one you have and there can be more than one for a given model year.

Re: Grand Voyager Engine not turning-good starter

I know this isn't recommended procedure but a friend lended me a PCM from a 99 strada - he said he had been able to start a jeep with it(!)

I got the same result - no crank. I was surprised that I was able to run the dash codes with it and got the same #940 and the odo mileage was the same. I thought the PCM contained the mileage.

The PCM is the thing on the driver side fender wall right?

Unsure where to go next...

Theory: Could a bad BCM prevent communication with the PCM?

Thank you for taking the time to help - I will not go to the dealer (can't afford it).

Re: Grand Voyager Engine not turning-good starter

Using a PCM with a different part number, let alone from another car is iffy at best. BCM stores the mileage. BCM cause no crank? I almost don't want to say anything but it seems like I read of one instance of it on some forum some time ago. Would I spend the bucks for a new one based on that? Hell no! Yes, PCM is next to the battery on the inner fender wall. Based on the code I would trace the wiring from the PCM to the cluster looking for any kind of chaffing or pushed pins in connections etc. Check continuity. Chaffed wires are far from a rare event on these vans.

Re: Grand Voyager Engine not turning-good starter

Any recommendation on a Manual, i.e. ALLDATA online vs. Haynes 96-00?
I'll be looking for wiring diagrams.
