How to Reset the 2005 Town Country Car

How to Reset the 2005 Town & Country Car

You can reset the computer on your 05 Town & Country car using an OBD II scan tool. When a warning or service light is illuminated on the vehicles instrument panel, a trouble code has been sent to the onboard diagnostics (OBD) computer from a sensor. These codes help you troubleshoot problems with the car. The OBD II scan tool can be purchased online or from an auto parts store. Reset the computer only after you have finished servicing or repairing the vehicle, or you risk damaging the Town & Countrys computer.

Instructions

    1

    Find the OBD diagnostic port on the underside of the drivers dash, next to the steering column. Its the same size and shape as the OBD II scan tools connector. Plug the OBD II scan tool into this port.

    2

    Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ACC" position, but dont start the engine. This will turn on the scan tool.

    3

    Wait for the tool to interface with the computer and retrieve the codes. Find the command "Delete Codes" or "Erase Codes" on the scan tool and select it. Wait for the tool to erase the codes. When it has finished, it will display "OK" or return you to the main menu.

    4

    Unplug the tool and start the engine. Verify that all service and warning lights have shut off on the instrument cluster.
