Dodge Intrepid 2004 Factory Service Manual Set (P/N 81-270-04027)

The diagnostic books guide fault isolation and verification. The service manual supplies the repair procedures, and the 2004 navigation and satellite radio supplement is designed to be used with the included 2003 body diagnostic manual.

Coverage limits. Chrysler LHS coverage is confined to the 2003 body diagnostic manual. Group 9 covers internal engine repair for the 3.5L V6 only. The 2.7L V6 has dedicated gas powertrain diagnostics and selected service procedures elsewhere in the main manual, including water pump replacement.

PDF Search, Bookmarks, and File Contents

Finding procedures and wiring details. The main service manual and all five diagnostic PDFs have searchable procedure text and embedded bookmarks. Some wiring sheets have no searchable diagram labels, and small pin numbers and wire codes are easier to read when zoomed in. Open each PDF directly if a link between volumes fails. The separate cover and publications menu have searchable text and no embedded bookmarks.

The ZIP contains 8 printable PDFs totaling 3,035 pages, including the separate two-page cover and foreword and the one-page publications menu. The total also includes the blank, notes, and comment-form pages within the volumes.

V6 Engine Repair, 42LE Service, and Electrical Fault Testing

These are selected highlights. The service manual also includes front and rear wheel alignment and separate maintenance schedules for normal and severe use.

• 3.5L engine repair covers compression and combustion leakage tests, engine removal, cylinder head and camshaft work, and timing belt service.

• 42LE transaxle service covers road testing, hydraulic pressure and clutch air tests, and transaxle removal, disassembly, and reassembly.

• Gas powertrain diagnostics use the DRBIII scan tool to trace no-start, fuel, ignition, charging, cooling fan, and emissions faults through the NGC1 combined PCM/TCM.

• 42LE electronic diagnostics cover gear-ratio, solenoid, pressure-switch, and AutoStick faults, with Quick Learn and simulator-based tests.

• Restraints and climate control include ORC/ACM and SIACM diagnostics, squib circuit tests, blower-speed checks, actuator calibration, and blend, mode, and recirculation door stall tests.

• Body electronics cover the BCM, instrument cluster, memory and heated seats, lighting, remote entry and theft security, wipers, and PCI-bus faults.

• Chassis diagnostics cover Teves Mark20e ABS and traction control, including wheel-speed sensors and tone wheels, pump and valve circuits, warning indicators, and freeze-frame data.

The service manual is written for professional automotive technicians. The diagnostic volumes are intended for technicians familiar with DRBIII testing and circuit diagrams.

Engine and Transaxle Shop Procedures

The 3.5L engine chapter includes rocker arm and adjuster service, crankshaft and bearing inspection, piston and ring work, oil pump service, and manifold removal and installation. The 42LE chapter details clutch packs, the oil pump, planetary geartrain, valve body, and differential, along with fluid and filter service and shift cable adjustment.

The service manual also covers driveline, brakes, steering, fuel, exhaust, body, and HVAC work. Separate procedures address Police Package lighting and power distribution, plus discharge headlamps and exhaust components on the Chrysler 300M Special.

DRBIII Fault Isolation and Wiring

The diagnostic volumes use a six-step workflow from confirming the complaint to verifying the repair. For a no-response fault, the communication tests, connector pinouts, and component views help the technician trace the circuit before deciding whether a module needs replacement. Powertrain tests also address speed control, EVAP/NVLD, oxygen sensors, relay outputs, and the Sentry Key Immobilizer System.

The transmission book explains how to use EATX event data, clutch volume indexes, and the electronic pinion factor when diagnosing shift complaints or limp-in operation. It includes tests with the Miller 8333 simulator and 8333-1A adapter. The body and chassis books cover EVIC tire sensor training and spare-wheel auto-location on five-tire TPM systems. The body book also covers ambient temperature sensor checks and speed-proportional steering solenoid faults.

Wiring Group 8W covers harness routing, connector cavities, splices, grounds, and wire and connector repair. The diagnostic books include the LH 2.7L and 3.5L Powertrain Schematics, Airbag Systems, Automatic Temperature Control, and the LH–Teves Mark20e ABS schematic. The 42LE book provides Pressure Switch States and Solenoid Application charts.

Connector and Restraint Service Notes

The NGC connector procedures specify Miller tools 3638 and 8815 for terminal release and probing to avoid damage to the harness or terminals. The restraint procedures specify airbag load tools 8310 and 8443, call for keeping a removed clockspring centered, and require replacement of a dropped SIACM.

Follow the publications’ system-specific safety and isolation procedures before restraint, brake, refrigerant, or electrical testing and component removal.

Fuel Pressure and 42LE Oil Pump Clearance Examples

The LH fuel delivery section gives an operating pressure of 400 kPa ± 34 kPa (58 psi ± 5 psi). The gas powertrain diagnostic tests use that reference to evaluate fuel delivery faults.

The 42LE oil pump inspection table gives a side clearance of 0.020–0.046 mm (0.0008–0.0018 in.) for both the inner and outer gears.
