| I own the 2002 chysler pt cruiser limited. hold in the trip odometer reset button while turning the ignition key to run will start a self-test, with a readout on the odometer. it will also activate the instrument panels, one at a time. the test will run for approximately 60 seconds, then automatically shut down. if the test senses a fault, the odometer will show the p-code number for the corresponding (dtc) diagnostic trouble code. the self diagnostic that is on the odometer is giving false reading. fl0008, ee08, bl01, and 5 of 4.7. i checked several website and there are several other owners of this model pt cruiser that are having the same false readings. i would like to be able to use the self diagnostic test that is suppose to be a standard on this model. | |||
