EMR/SRI Mileage Not Stored (Chrysler)
What does P1697 mean?
The P1697 code means the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system has detected: EMR/SRI Mileage Not Stored (Chrysler). This is a low severity code.
Common Symptoms
- Check Engine Light on
- No drivability symptoms
- Emissions maintenance reminder may not work
- Service reminder interval not tracking
- Code often accompanies P1684
Probable Causes (Ranked by Likelihood)
- Battery was recently disconnected Very High
- PCM EEPROM write failure High
- Corrupted mileage data in PCM Moderate
- Instrument cluster and PCM mileage disagreement Low
Step-by-Step Diagnostic Procedure
-
If the battery was recently disconnected, drive through several key cycles and the code may clear on its own.
-
Check for a companion P1684 code, which would confirm a battery disconnect event.
-
Verify odometer mileage matches between the instrument cluster and PCM using a scan tool.
-
If mileage data is corrupted, a dealer may need to reprogram the emissions maintenance values.
-
Clear the code and monitor. If it returns without a battery disconnect, further PCM diagnosis is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is P1697 serious?
No. It typically indicates that the emissions service reminder mileage was lost when the battery was disconnected. It has no effect on drivability.
Will this fail an emissions test?
It depends on the state. Some states will fail any stored code, while others only check for codes that illuminate the MIL.
How do I reset the service reminder?
A dealer or shop with a Chrysler scan tool can reset the emissions maintenance reminder mileage to the correct value.
