I got my first code at 11,217 miles today. My scangauge says it's a P242F
I'm no expert, but unless the code(s) is reset using a scan tool of some sort, the codes are still stored in the ECM Engine Control Module and should be readable by the dealer DRBIII scan tool. Every dealer service writer should know that....
Dealer said there was nothing they could do unless the engine light was still on.

I don't know what dealer policy is, but I would think that under warranty they would at least connect the DRBIII up to check based upon a customer reporting that the CEL Check Engine Light (AKA MIL Malfunction Indicator Light) was on. I could be wrong. Do they think you'd lie to them about the light having been on??? FWIW. AP/vic
Jon,DRBIII scan tools are not appropriate for ChandlerAZMan's NCV3.
The appropriate tools are: StarSCAN (end of life'd), StarMOBILE (dead man walking), WiTECH (current Chrysler corporate preference), or an MB Star Diagnosis System (MB SDS).
