Brent,

Since you have a Chrysler product you likely won't
find ready made scan tools like you could for GM or
Ford.  You could wait a bit, or you could try to sort
out the communications protocols used by Chryslers and
imports (there are about three different ones in the
OBD II world, one for GM, one for Ford, and one for
everybody else.  Standardization, you know. :-P )

Anyway, if you *really* feel like digging into the
technical details, you would have to buy the SAE
standards docs.  The OBD-II home page has pointers to
these at <http://www.obdii.com/links.html>. 
(Personally, I'm waiting for somebody else to do it!)
