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. VEHICLE HISTORY AND SERVICE BULLETIN INVESTIGATION 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Using the scan tool, read DTCs. Record the related Freeze Frame data if any DTCs are present.
    3. Check the following items which may assist in repairing the customer's complaint successfully:
      • Check the vehicle's repair history. If the vehicle has a repair history that pertains to the customer's current complaint, review the repair.
      • Inspect the vehicle for any aftermarket accessories that may have been installed incorrectly.
      • Check for any service bulletin(s) related to the customer's complaint or DTCs. If a service bulletin applies, follow the instructions of the service bulletin.

      Choose the following scenario that best applies:

      The vehicle inspection or service bulletin repaired the customer's complaint. 

      • Testing complete.

      A DTC is present, the vehicle inspection revealed no concerns, no service bulletins apply, or the service bulletin did not repair the customer's complaint. 

      • Go to step  2
  2. ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Using the scan tool, read the active DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display P0443-EVAP PURGE CONTROL CIRCUIT?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No 

      • Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
      • Perform the CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC diagnostic procedure. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
  3. (K52) EVAP PURGE CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the PCM harness connectors.
    4. Turn the ignition on.
    5. Measure the voltage of the (K52) EVAP Purge Control circuit in the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. (K52) EVAP PURGE CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    Fig 2: Checking EVAP Purge Control Circuit

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K52) EVAP Purge Control circuit in the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector.

      Is the resistance above 100 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. (K52) EVAP PURGE CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN OR EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE

    CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals, resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.
    1. Measure the resistance of the (K52) EVAP Purge Control circuit between the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector and the appropriate terminal of PCM Pinout Box 8815.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

  6. (K70) EVAP PURGE RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN OR EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE 
    Fig 4: Checking EVAP Purge Return Circuit
    GC0097516Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
    CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals, resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.
    1. Measure the resistance of the (K70) EVAP Purge Return circuit between the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector and the appropriate terminal of PCM Pinout Box 8815.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  7

      No 

  7. EVAP PURGE SOLENOID

    1. Connect the PCM harness connectors.
    2. Turn the ignition on.
      NOTE: If the DTC is active, the actuation test may not be allowed by the PCM. If may be necessary to clear the DTCs before starting the actuation.
    3. Using the scan tool, actuate the Evaporative Purge Valve Solenoid Duty Cycle.
    4. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (K52) EVAP Purge Control circuit in the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector.
      NOTE: The voltage supplied to the solenoid circuit during the actuation may be less than battery voltage. The test light should be illuminated, but may not be as bright as a direct connection to the battery.

      Is the test light illuminated during the actuation?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  8
  8. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) 
    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the EVAP Purge Solenoid and the PCM.
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
    4. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
