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.

TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
NOTE: Check for any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Using the scan tool, record and erase TIPM DTCs.
3. Cycle the ignition from on to off three times.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Using the scan tool, read active TIPM DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 2
  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.

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Totally Integrated Power Module C5 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
  Is resistance below 1, 000.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 3
  No
  - Go to step 4
(D54) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
2. While monitoring the ohmmeter, disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time.
  NOTE: This is to determine if the circuit is shorted to ground internally within a module or if the circuit is shorted to ground in the harness.
  
  NOTE: Disconnecting an in-line 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 resistance below 1, 000.0 Ohms with all the CAN B Bus modules disconnected?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short to ground in the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Replace the module that when disconnected eliminated the short to ground in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the appropriate verification test for the module being replaced. If there is no verification test for the associated module perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
CHECK THE (D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO THE (D54) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT

1. Measure the resistance between the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
  Is resistance below 1, 000.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 5
  No
  - Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or shorted circuits. If OK, replace the Totally Integrated Power Module in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
(D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (D54) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT

1. Measure the resistance between the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
2. While monitoring the ohmmeter, disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time.
  NOTE: This is to determine if the short together is internal within a module or if the circuits are shorted together.
  
  NOTE: Disconnecting an in-line 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 resistance below 1, 000.0 Ohms with all the CAN B Bus modules disconnected?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short between the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Replace the module that when disconnected the short together was eliminated, in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the appropriate verification test for the module being replaced. If there is no verification test for the associated module perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
