⚙️ Engine Specifications

Engine Options 2001 Voyager:

The 2001 Chrysler Voyager (RS platform) was primarily offered with the 3.3L V6 engine. A 2.4L DOHC I4 engine was also available in some markets or earlier models, though less common by 2001. The 3.8L V6 was typically reserved for the Grand Voyager models. Specific engine codes (e.g., EFA for 3.3L) would be detailed in the manual.

3.3L V6 Power Torque:

For the 2001 model year, the 3.3L V6 (EGA) typically produced around 156 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. Actual figures can vary slightly by region and specific tuning.

Fuel Delivery:

Multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for both 3.3L V6 and the 2.4L I4 engines.

ECM Diagnosis:

Covers diagnosis and service of the Engine Control Module (ECM) and associated sensors.

OBD Ii Support:

The 2001 model is OBD-II compliant, and the manual will cover diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their meanings, along with recommended repair procedures.

🔧 Transmission

Transmission Type:

The 2001 Voyager was primarily equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The most common was the 41TE (A604) electronically controlled automatic transaxle.

Optional Transmissions:

While the 4-speed automatic was standard, manual transmissions were phased out for minivans of this era. The manual would detail the 41TE exclusively or potentially other variants if applicable.

Transmission Fluid:

Specific ATF type (likely ATF+4) and capacity would be detailed. Fluid change intervals and procedures are covered.

📐 Dimensions

Wheelbase:

The RS platform Voyager typically had a wheelbase of around 113.3 inches for the standard wheelbase model and 119.4 inches for the Grand Voyager variant. This manual covers the RS platform, which includes both, though specific dimensions may differ between them.

Curb Weight:

Curb weight varied by configuration but generally ranged from approximately 3,700 to 4,100 lbs.

Cargo Volume:

Cargo volume was a key feature, with the standard Voyager offering significant space, and the Grand Voyager even more, particularly with removable rear seating.

🛡️ Safety Features

NHTSA Ratings:

While specific 2001 ratings are best confirmed with NHTSA records, vehicles of this era typically received good to acceptable ratings in frontal and side impact tests. The manual would not typically contain specific NHTSA ratings but would cover safety system repairs.

ABS:

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) operation, diagnosis, and component replacement procedures.

Airbags:

Frontal airbag system operation, diagnosis, and replacement procedures. Side airbags might have been optional. Safety precautions for working on airbag systems are critical and would be included.

💡 Technology Features

Audio Options:

The manual would cover the diagnosis and repair of the factory radio, CD player, and speaker systems. Options could include cassette players, CD changers, and premium audio systems.

Cruise Control:

Operation and troubleshooting for the cruise control system.

Power Accessories:

Diagnosis and repair of power windows, power door locks, and remote keyless entry systems.

🔧 Maintenance

Oil Change Interval:

Typical oil change intervals for the 2001 Voyager with the 3.3L V6 would be around 3,000-5,000 miles or 3-6 months, depending on driving conditions. The manual will provide precise intervals based on severe vs. normal service.

Engine Oil:

Recommended engine oil would typically be SAE 5W-30, meeting Chrysler MS-6395 specification. Manual will confirm exact grade and specification.

Coolant:

Chrysler coolant (typically HOAT - Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) meeting Chrysler MS-9769 specification, often a pink or orange color. Manual will specify capacity and type.

Brake Fluid:

DOT 3 brake fluid is typically specified. Manual will confirm exact type and capacity.

Power Steering Fluid:

Chrysler ATF+4 is typically used in the power steering system for this model. Manual will confirm.

Transmission Fluid Type:

Likely ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid Type 4) is specified for the 41TE transmission. Capacity is around 7.5 quarts.

Common Voyager Issues:

Common issues for this generation can include power steering pump leaks, rear axle bearing wear, automatic transmission solenoid issues (especially in the 41TE), HVAC blend door actuator failures, and occasional electrical gremlins. The manual's diagnostic sections are invaluable for addressing these.
