In reality Chrysler ECUs were capable of outputting trouble codes long before OBD was standardized, and OBD2 ports even existed.
(And for Barnes's info, holding down the odometer reset and turning the ignition on would only do a gauge module check and output gauge-related errors. To get all the codes you needed to turn the key from 'off' to 'on' three times in five seconds, and the codes would show in the odometer LCD, or in earlier cars the check engine light would blink.)
