Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Dodge Magnum, 2008 Dodge Charger, and 2008 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
NOTE: Check for any TSB(s) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.

Turn the ignition on.

With the scan tool, record and erase TIPM DTC's.

Cycle the ignition from on to off 3 times.

Turn the ignition on.

With the scan tool, read active TIPM DTC's.

Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

Yes
1. Go To 2.
No
1. The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
CHECK THE (D54) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the Totally Integrated Power Module C5 harness connector.

Turn the ignition on.

Measure the voltage between the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit and ground.

Is voltage above 10.0 volts?

Yes
1. Go To 3.
No
1. Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or shorted circuits. If OK, replace the Totally Integrated Power Module in accordance with the service information.
2. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
(D54) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

Measure the voltage between the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit and ground.

While monitoring the voltmeter, disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time.

NOTE: When performing the above step, turn the ignition off (wait one minute) before disconnecting any module. When the module is disconnected turn the ignition on to check for a short to voltage.

NOTE: This is to determine if the circuit is shorted to voltage internally within a module or if the circuit is shorted to voltage in the harness.

NOTE: Disconnecting an inline connector can eliminate a module or group of modules from the list of possible causes for this fault. Refer to the wring diagrams to assist in diagnosis.

Is the voltage above 10.0 volts with all the CAN B Bus modules disconnected?

Yes
1. Repair the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit for a short to voltage.
2. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
1. Replace the module, in accordance with the service information, that when disconnected eliminated the short to voltage.
2. Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
