anybody tell me any about this code? guy at atuozone pulled it said APLSOL solenoid circuit malfunctoin, couldnt tell me any more. i looked on this site and that code was not on the list. ive been having what i think is crankshaft sensor problems, and im wandering if this is my problem, before i buy a new sensor. thanks for the help.

According to:

http://www.troublecodes.net/chrysler/96-01.shtml

it is:

P1492 Battery Temperature Sensor Voltage Too High

 

BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR DESCRIPTION
The Battery Temperature Sensor (BTS) is attached
to the battery tray located under the battery.

OPERATION
The BTS is used to determine the battery temperature
and control battery charging rate. This temperature
data, along with data from monitored line
voltage, is used by the PCM (ECM Diesel) to vary the
battery charging rate. System voltage will be higher
at colder temperatures and is gradually reduced at
warmer temperatures.
The PCM sends 5 volts to the sensor and is
grounded through the sensor return line. As temperature
increases, resistance in the sensor decreases
and the detection voltage at the PCM increases.
The BTS is also used for OBD II diagnostics. Certain
faults and OBD II monitors are either enabled
or disabled, depending upon BTS input (for example,
disable purge and enable Leak Detection Pump
(LDP) and O2 sensor heater tests). Most OBD II
monitors are disabled below 20°F.

REMOVAL
The battery temperature sensor is located under
the vehicle battery and is attached (snapped into) a
mounting hole on battery tray (Fig. 1).
(1) Remove battery. Refer to 8, Battery for procedures.
(2) Pry sensor straight up from battery tray
mounting hole to gain access to electrical connector
(Fig. 1).
(3) Disconnect sensor from engine wire harness
electrical connector.

INSTALLATION
The battery temperature sensor is located under
the vehicle battery and is attached (snapped into) a
mounting hole on battery tray.
(1) Pull electrical connector up through mounting
hole in top of battery tray.
(2) Connect sensor.
(3) Snap sensor into battery tray.
(4) Install battery. Refer to 8, Battery for procedures.

 

thanks guys that helps doesnt sound like that would affect idle speed

What symtoms/trouble are you having?

 

Intermintently it idle 1000 rpms and when i let the clutch out it dies. when its idling 800 rpms doesnt die i dont know what would cause it. on guy said crankshaft sensor but i didnt get that code or any of the symtoms that go with that other than idling. any ideas?
