Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Dodge Magnum, 2006 Dodge Charger, and 2006 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

1) TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
Turn the ignition on.

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

Cycle the ignition from on to off 3 times.

Turn the ignition on.

With the scan tool, read active FCM 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.
2) MEASURE VOLTAGE AT FCM
Gain access to the Front Control Module C1 harness connector, but do not disconnect.

Backprobe and measure the voltage on both the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) and the (D54) CAN B (-) circuits.

Does the voltage read approximately 4.65 - 4.98 volts on the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) and 0.39 - 0.46 volts on the (D55) CAN B (+) circuits?

Yes
1. Go To 3).
No - Voltage Between 0.3 - 0.7 Volts on Both Circuits
1. Go To 9).
No - Voltage Reads 0 Volts on Either Circuit
1. Go To 7).
No - Voltage Above 10 Volts on Either Circuit
1. Go To 5).
3) (D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN

Turn the ignition on.

With the scan tool select ECU View.

Using a fused jumper wire, connect one end to ground and with the other end backprobe the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit at the FCM C1 harness connector.

NOTE: A red "X" will appear next to modules that can no longer communicate on the Bus.

Did a red "X" appear next to any modules on the scan tool?

Yes
1. Using the Wiring Diagrams to further isolate the open in the circuit, repair the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for an open.
2. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.(Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1) .
No
1. Go To 4).
4) (D54) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN

With the scan tool select ECU View.

Using a fused jumper wire, connect one end to ground and with the other end backprobe the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit at the FCM C1 harness connector.

NOTE: A red "X" will appear next to modules that can no longer communicate on the Bus.

Did a red "X" appear next to any modules on the scan tool?

Yes
1. Using the Wiring Diagrams to further isolate the open in the circuit, repair the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit for an open.
2. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.(Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1) .
No
1. Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage. If OK, replace and program the Front Control Module in accordance with the service information. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.(Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1) .
5) (D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the Front Control Module C1 harness connector.

Turn the ignition on.

Measure the voltage between the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and ground.

Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?

Yes
1. Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the voltage to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the service information, that when disconnected eliminates the short to voltage. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to voltage.
2. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.(Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1) .
No
1. Go To 6).
6) (D54) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

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

Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?

Yes
1. Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the voltage to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the service information, that when disconnected eliminates the short to voltage. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit for a short to voltage.
2. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.(Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1) .
No
1. Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage. If OK, replace and program the Front Control Module in accordance with the service information. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.(Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1) .
7) (D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

Fig 5: Checking CAN B BUS (+) Circuit

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the Front Control Module C1 harness connector.

Measure the resistance between ground and the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit.

Is the resistance above 1000.0 ohms?

Yes
1. Go To 8).
No
1. Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the resistance to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the service information, that when disconnected eliminates the short to ground. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to ground.

Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the Front Control Module C1 harness connector.

Measure the resistance between the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.

Is any resistance present?

Yes
1. Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the resistance to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the service information, that when disconnected eliminates the short between the two circuits. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
