'99 Sebring Conv w/CCD error on dash

Put the battery back in my Conv after the winter, turn the key, all the lights light up, but no crank. Compass dashboard guage says "CCD".

Local Chrysler dealer having trouble diagnosing,

Any ideas?

CCD is Chrysler Coll Detection, which is a bus that connects various OB computers.

Car has about 57K miles on it.

Thanks, -Bob

Depending on where you had it stored might be a clue to the problem. A vehicle that has not been driven for a period of time is a nice place for a rodents nest. Somewhere you have a cut wire or corrosion has set in on a connector or even a faulty module.

It should only take a technician with a voltmeter to find this problem and since it isn't an intermittent bus failure will be easier to locate.

The local Chrysler Dealer, after $300 of diagnostic work, said the Powertrain Control Module and the ABS Module are both bad (shorted?) and the total to replace them is $1700. He doesn't guarantee that this is the extent of the problem, though.

What would you do? Pay them the $300 and take the car elsewhere?

Appreciate your help.

More then likely they are guessing at it and not sure of the repair. That's why they say they cant guarantee it. I find it very hard to believe that both modules are shorted at the same time. Also the PCM is an 8/80 Federal Emissions Part. If you are under 8/80 this module will be a covered component.
