2003 Chrysler T&C-3.3L Throwing P0141 only 9,000 miles

He have an "03" T&C that has 9,000 miles on it. NOT A TYPO! It belonged to an elderly fellow that didn't drive much. Anyhow.... the van did sit for some period of time without being driven. It looks like new and drives like new!

My question is.... why would it throw codes when it was hardly driven? It previously threw P0139 and 0140. They were fixed and now this.
The P0141 cannot be reset. What is the seriousness of this code and what about the cost to have it fixed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

If you had those two codes previous and now this one then it's not fixed!
Look at how the 2 are related! Take it back to whoever repairred it and get it fixed or your money returned and find someone who can! if the code returns right away then a circuit is likely open!

Thanks Jeff...
I do realize they are related and figured is stemmed from the first 2 codes.
But why would there be any codes on a car that was hardly driven?

It baffles me.

All cars break down. It doesn't matter whether it's Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chrysler, etc. It doesn't matter the mileage. All cars break down at some point.

In your case it could be due to time, neglect, accident (someone bumped something), etc.

I've seen rodents chew harnesses on new vehicles parked on the lot!
