Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Dodge Charger and 2010 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. INTERMITTENT NO RESPONSE CONDITION 
    NOTE: Verify that the IOD fuse is installed and not open. If the fuse is open, check the circuit for a short to ground.
    NOTE: The battery must be fully charged and in good condition. An undercharged battery may produce invalid test results.
    NOTE: The battery cables must be clean and fastened properly. The chassis ground must be clean and fastened properly.
    NOTE: The scan tool (including the cable) must be operating properly for the results of this test to be valid.
    NOTE: With the scan tool, check the FCM for any active CAN C hardware DTCs, and perform appropriate diagnostic procedure before continuing with this test.
    NOTE: On the scan tool screen, a red X next to a module indicates that the module is not active (communicating) on the Bus network. A green check indicates that the module is active on the Bus network.
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, select ECU view.

      Is the PCM active (communicating) on the BUS?

      Yes 

      • The PCM no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors for any problems that would result in an intermittent no response condition.
