probably in the interior fuse box, if it has one. check the map on the fuse box cover for anything that says DLC. DLC = data link connector, which is the diasgnostic port

if youve already replaced the pcm and the DLC wiring, theres no reason it shouldnt work.

is there power at the DLC? meaning when you plug the scan tool in, does it power up the tool?

I'm having the same problem. Replaced cam sensor, ECM, wiring harness and still p340 code keeps coming up. Sometimes car won't start. I don't know what else to do. Any solutions? I have a 03 Chrysler intrepid (not dodge)

I've had a issue like that. What I found was all transmission were showing the ring around them. Did some research and found that the circuit ran though the abs module. While wiggling the wire with the key in the on position I heard a chime, the ring then only shows on the p ( park). Solving the problem Abs module connector some how failed.
