Get the code read at an auto parts store and list the code here. The actual code..NOT what a parts sales person "thinks" is wrong. After you get the code and write it down have them clear the code with their code reading tool. I'm not familiar with Chrysler's having throttle body problems. Usually when there is a problem related to the throttle body you get a bad TPS sensor code or an IAC idle control motor code. Mechanical parts don't set codes. Clear the code and drive the vehicle and see if the same code sets again before spending any money.

If that car has the notorious 2.7 liter motor I'd get rid of the vehicle. The timing chains always go bad and mechanics know the motors just keep coming back for more repairs once that goes.

Depending on the code the dealer normally uses their scan tool to reset systems to clear codes. Looked through the Service Manual but did not see a manual method a customer could use.

If you have a hard fault code, you will need a scan tool to clear it.

Disconnecting the battery cable will only erase the adaptive strategy, which is important when replacing anything that affects drivability or fuel control. It erases the old stored values and rebuilds new charts with the new component(s) being replaced.

Consider replacing the HO2S as well, oxygen sensor wear out (go out of range) in the 60K to 100K mileage range.

The funny thing you hear now days. "the code" and that would mean you have a engine light on? For that you can disconnect the battery for a few minutes. Why are you going to replace the throttle body anyway? I've not heard of them being something that is likely to fail.

It's not about the code. It's about performing a throttle body relearn procedure. You need a scan tool to do that. Otherwise, it'll never run right.

Pull the negative cable off the battery for 10 minutes. That will reset the code.

I am going to be replacing the throttle body on my 2007 Chrysler Sebring Limited 2.4L. The guys at the dealership say that after you replace the part, you are going to have to "reset the code". Ive never had to this when replacing a part before and I am hoping that one of you know. I heard that you can reset the code with some cars by using the VIN number and the radio. Thank!
