Not sure why that is insane. What about hydroboost? Your brakes run off of the steering pump. No pump, no brakes. Lots of hydraulic cooling fans. Lose steering pump, lose cooling. I don't see it any worse than the Transit Connect start stop bullshit. That can't be good for the starter. What about the TJ TPS going through the clock spring?Apparently Chrysler has made the blower motor part of the emission system. Yep now if your blower motor doesn't work you can fail the emissions.
It is not the idea of the ecm being able to find and display problems. I have a problem with the system that makes a comfort item fail emissions standards. Forcing you to replace it to register the car in most states. IfNot sure why that is insane. What about hydroboost? Your brakes run off of the steering pump. No pump, no brakes.

The automotive industry has been combining more and more stuff to eliminate parts for a very long time. Peek under the hood of an older car. Very few things on the accessory drive shared a belt. Harmonic balancer pulleys have several v-grooves for all the separate belts. Now we have one belt run in a serpentine fashion that runs all the accessories. Engineering advances, stuff gets condensed, it generally is not a deal breaker and as long as it isn't some super top secret shit that no one can learn about, not a big deal and certainly not a sign of insanity.
Maybe they hired the Germans to design it
I wish the Germans designed it then at least the emission systems wouldn't work.Maybe they hired the Germans to design it
Because it trips the CEL its an automatic fail. (In most states)I can't see a vehicle failing emissions due to a body control module code...CEL on or not. I'll have to talk to my Smog guy
My '08 Libby has had the tire pressure sensor light on for about 3 years (they went bad). I refuse to pay for something that a my foot can test for when checking tire pressure. Lol. It passes emissions fine and I have never been asked to get that fixed even by my dealer.I can't see a vehicle failing emissions due to a body control module code...CEL on or not.

absolutely !! crazy !! so many stupid design choices today. so many different systems over lapping each other.Apparently Chrysler has made the blower motor part of the emission system. Yep now if your blower motor doesn't work you can fail the emissions.
