Thank you so much for making this video. I've been looking for the kind of factory spec scanner to use for my 3 Dodge Dynasty's. One of them has been in limp mode forever, this should help point me in the right direction when I get myself a DRB II. Subscribed 👍
If you can't find a DRB-II or the correct cables/cartridges, they are licensed modifications of the OTC Monitor 4000 series, which are very cheap and available on eBay. A Domestic Chrysler cartridge or better yet a Pathfinder/Pathfinder II cartridge will happily do everything shown here. The Chrysler ECM cable for OTC scanners is very common but the A604 (CCD bus) adapter is not as easy to find. I can get you the part numbers of each if you like.
I have the equivalent OTC setup, a Monitor 4000E + A604 adapter and Pathfinder II cartridge 3:38 Interesting that you can hear the control solenoid's motion here when disengaging third. Not often you can hear that here on UA-cam. I want to one day get another 41TE vehicle, at least for a day to drive around with a microphone next to the solenoid pack and just hear what racket it makes.
Hi from Germany I own a 1994 Chrysler LHS wich is very,very , very rare here Are they any DRB 2 scanners available in us,and how much do they cost? If you got some links , it would be JUST great
I'd probably look at this one. It comes with a super cartridge, you'd just need to keep an eye out for the CCD bus cable. www.ebay.com/itm/Chrysler-Mopar-Diagnostic-System-DRB-II-Tester-DRB-II-Jeep-Eagle-Adapter-Cable/193853807533?epid=21032223942&hash=item2d22965bad:g:LogAAOSwiftgBNe3
Very cool! Are proprietary devices like this the only way to interface with car computers from this era or is there also third party hardware and/or software I could get?
@@LAEXMA The DRB-II was manufactured for Chrysler by OTC, who re-used an existing design, the Monitor 4000 and 4000E. Other than the cartridge port and the cable connect they are identical, in many ways the Monitor series better as it can test more vehicles. OTC also licensed the design to Matco Tools who sold it as the Matco Diagnostic System, which uses the same cartridges and cables as the OTC setup. I've got all three personally, and I like the OTC Monitor 4000E the best, though the Enhanced Monitor is alright too, especially if you have desire of doing OBD-II work as well.
Do you know if a Plymouth neon 1996 is drb2 or obd 2 compatible I tried a Walmart obd 2 it connects but doesn’t turn on so I though it might be that it needs an drb2 or is the ecu/ecm/pcm might be faulty to send signal to the obd2 to turn on let me know what you think is the problem
If an OBD-II device will physically connect to the port, then it is OBD-II compliant. In the USA, OBD-II compliance starts January 1, 1996 for all cars sold domestically. The OBD-I connector for many Chrysler vehicles is typically located under the hood near the battery, and the CCD connector is only present for OBD-I vehicles which also use the A604/41TE/41LE fully electronic transmission. The CCD connector is typically a blue 6 pin plug under the driver's side of the dash.
DRB-II and OTC Monitor or compatible with the correct software and cables. This is called the CVI or Clutch Volume Index and is stored in the TCM, so you need the CCD cable for a DRB-II or the A604 adapter for the OTC machines.
Here is the important question...Will this tool tell you which fuel injector is bad ?

Waw man, mint condition. Need this for my Chrysler Lebaron GTC 1992… very expensive on ebay
How do you see the CVI=Clutch Volume Index's to see the health of the transmission?
Hi from Germany

Will that tool read codes that may affect your speedometer?

There were a few 3rd party tools your could get, but I can't say how good they are.

I just read the monitor 4000e cannot do 1992 chrysler lebaron
Hi. You said Device Trouble Codes. It's actually Data Trouble Codes. ; - )
Advanced for its time
Meh, Ford Rotunda shows up in 1978 and GM's tools show up for 1981 and 1982. The DRB-II was a licensed modification of the OTC Monitor 4000 series.
@@AiOinc1 so you say 😂

I need to perform quick re learn and reset pinion factor. Where are you located? Thanks

@@LAEXMA Aww man. I'm in NC. Wish I was closer to you bc it's hard trying to find someone with this tool
You sell that tool?
Cool 😀
WHICH TOOL is it that reads clutch material?
It’s the DRB-II Scan tool, the official dealer scanner.
Low End Mopar ahh ok I kinda thought so at this point thanks for conforming!
