Have a 2002 Dodge 15 pass van. Last year went in for service due to what was later diagonosed as O2 sensor, but not before whole computer was replaced. engine light was on for diagnisis. A year later almost exact van starts with same "bucking" as last year. Of course we think its bad gas etc... problem gets worse..no indicator light on. Take it to dealer, had it a week cannot find anything wrong with it although no one took it out to drive it any distance. My warranty expires in 350 miles. Also when in drive and sitting at red light, in traffic, at stop sign indicator liight around "D" goes on and off. You can hear tranny slipping(?). Dealler cannot find anything wrong. We are at a loss don't know what to do. Can they diagnose the O2 sensor without engine light on? and hooking it up to computer? This is very frustrating.

Yes they can scan the PCM in live data mode and it will display all sensor parameters.
They should be able to take a portable scanner and record PCM data while driving, then anaylize data at the shop.
I would take it back to them and if they don't help you, talk to the zone office or call Dodge directly and complain.
