Frequently Asked Questions
Does the manual cover the Plymouth Breeze and Chrysler Cirrus as well?
The Stratus, Plymouth Breeze, and Chrysler Cirrus all ride on Chrysler’s JA platform and share nearly identical mechanical architecture. While this manual is specifically issued under the Dodge Stratus designation, the powertrain, suspension, and electrical procedures are directly applicable to all three JA-platform siblings produced over the same 1995–2000 period.
Which engine codes are included, and where can I find torque specs?
All three factory engine codes are covered: ECB (2.0L SOHC), EDZ (2.4L DOHC), and EEB (2.5L V6). Complete torque values for fasteners, cylinder head bolts, and accessory brackets are listed within each engine section, and a consolidated specifications table is included for quick reference during repairs.
Are wiring diagrams included for the 41TE transmission and ABS systems?
Yes. The electrical coverage extends to full circuit diagrams for the 41TE solenoid pack, transmission control module, ABS modulator, and wheel speed sensors. Connector pinout charts, wire color codes, and diagnostic flowcharts are included so you can trace faults without additional resources.
What format is the manual?
The manual is delivered as a PDF file, compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android devices. The text is fully searchable, and individual pages can be printed for use in the garage. After purchase you receive an instant download link, and the file remains available for re-download at any time.
