I drive a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan AVP. Car has 600 miles on it. The other day the Check Engine light came on. I checked the code, it was P0606. As described in my ALLDATADIY.COM subscription, that DTC is described asI cleared the code to see if it would come back, but it has not. I found online that there was a TSB for this problem for the 2013 model, which reads as:What I cannnot find is what to do about this. Does anyone know further details about this DTC for this car, as well as the TSB? I know that I can bring it into the dealer, but I do not want to waste my time if I do need to.

 

If the code doesn't return have a nice life. Without a light and a code the dealership in all likelihood will tell you to return when they appear. If it does head to your dealership so they can determine the cause regardless of any TSBs. Your under warranty correct? Use it. I'm wondering why you would clear the code if you have a warranty on the van? There's always the chance it could return after the warranty expires. Now there's no previous record of it if that does happen. In that case you're SOL. Lifetime warranty?

Thanks, master tech, that is a terrific help!

 

My 2013 RT CEL just came on today?? It just hit 20,000 miles, with no drivability
or transmission issues. Still drives normal. But I am on a road trip in SoCal and need to drive 1300 miles back home. Looking at the owners manual, CEL could be triggered by bad gas or loose fuel cap? It's not a loose fuel cap, that is for sure. Any help or suggestions would be great? Thank. - If I don't get a dealer to check it out (until I get home) do you foresee any issues?

 

Without knowing the code that is turning on the CE light there's little we can do. There are over a hundred faults that can turn on that light. Suggest you stop at a parts store and have them read the code using a scanner. It's usually free with them. There's always a dealership since you're probably under a warranty.

 

Took it to Alhambra Chrysler Dodge Jeep to check the CEL, came back with an error code P0520. Changed Oil Pressure Sensor switch (Part# 5149062AA).
CEL is normal now. But the dealer charged me $140 for labor & $43.45 for parts, as they claim they do not do Canadian Warranty work & I have to re-claim it with Chrysler Canada??? I phone my dealer back in Canada & they told me any US Chrysler dealers should honor the warranty, as they have serviced my US vehicles under warranty back in Canada? As I was traveling and didn't want to get into it with the Alhambra dealer, just paid & left. I did sent an e-mail to Chrysler Canada on March 19th (same day i got the service) but due to high volume of e-mail, they haven't got back to me as of today. March 24. Any help on the US / Canada Warranty issue would be appreciated.

 

Well anyway it's fixed but...
