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. VERIFY THAT THE DTC IS ACTIVE 
    WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in a direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing.
    NOTE: If the TIPM detects and stores a DTC, the TIPM also stores the environmental conditions under which the DTC was set.
    NOTE: Before erasing stored DTCs, record these conditions. Attempting to duplicate these conditions may assist when checking for an active DTC.
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, erase TIPM DTCs.
    3. With the scan tool, actuate the PTC No. 1 Relay.
    4. Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.
    5. With the scan tool, read TIPM DTCs.

      Is the status Active for this DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. CHECK (K342) FUSED ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Remove the PTC No. 1 Relay.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (K342) Fused ASD Relay Output circuit in the PTC No. 1 Relay connector.
      NOTE: The test light should illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No 

  3. CHECK (K360) PTC NO. 1 RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the TIPM harness connectors.
    3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K360) PTC No. 1 Relay Control circuit in the PTC No. 1 Relay connector.

      Is the resistance above 10.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

  4. CHECK (K360) PTC NO. 1 RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Measure the resistance of the (K360) PTC No. 1 Relay Control circuit between the PTC No. 1 Relay connector and the TIPM connector.

      Is the resistance below 10.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. CHECK PTC NO. 1 RELAY

    1. Reconnect the TIPM harness connectors.
    2. Install a substitute PTC No. 1 Relay in place of the vehicle's PTC No. 1 Relay.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. With the scan tool, erase TIPM DTCs.
    5. With the scan tool, actuate the PTC No. 1 Relay.
    6. Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.
    7. With the scan tool, read TIPM DTCs.

      Is the status Active for this DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

  6. INSPECT RELATED WIRING AND CHECK FOR TSBs 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the PTC No. 1 Relay and the TIPM.
    3. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
    4. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
    5. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
