You can't check the codes manually like you could on 1996 back. You need a scan tool that attaches to the 16 pin diagnostic socket under the dash.

FYI: 2 Self-Test Methods on 2002 Stratus w/DIGITAL Odometer/Trip display on Dash cluster:(Engine off)*Method 1*DTC=Data Trouble Codes OBD=(OnBoard Diagnostic). a)Push Trip Reset button to zero out, release. b)Key in ignition: Turn key quickly to ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON (stop). IF PROBLEM detected: Displays OBD Code 'P0xxxx'. Displays 'donE' when completed.(Online: Look up OBDII Codes 'P' Codes for Dodge/Chrysler). **Method 2- (Per Owners' Manual)** Zero out Trip PUSH and HOLD button + Turn key to ON, RELEASE Trip button. Displays series of codes & lights up each item being checked on dash cluster. Displays 'donE' when completed.

you can't check the code manually, but you can use the auto scanner to read it out. I know a scanner frofessional for 2002 Dodge.
