Diagnostic Test

  1. ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With a scan tool, read DTCs.

      Is the DTC active at this time.

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the MAP Sensor harness connector.
    3. Ignition on, engine not running.
    4. Measure the voltage on the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit in the MAP Sensor harness connector.

      Is the voltage between 4.5 to 5.2 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No 

      • Go to step  7
  3. MAP SENSOR 
    1. With a scan tool, monitor the MAP Sensor voltage with the Sensor harness connector disconnected.

      Is the voltage above 2.2 volts?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. (K1) MAP SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM harness connectors.
      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 PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (K1) MAP Signal circuit from the MAP Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. (K1) MAP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT

    1. Measure the resistance between the (K900) Sensor ground circuit and the (K1) MAP Signal circuit in the MAP Sensor harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  6
  6. (K1) MAP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    Fig 4: Checking MAP Signal Circuit

    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K1) MAP Signal circuit in the MAP Sensor harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

  7. (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE 
    Fig 5: Checking 5-Volt Supply Circuit

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM harness connectors.
    3. Ignition on, engine not running.
    4. Measure the voltage on the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit in the MAP Sensor harness connector.

      Is the voltage above 5.2 volts?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  8
  8. (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN 
    Fig 6: Checking 5-Volt Supply Circuit
    GC0117146Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
    1. Turn the ignition off.
      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 PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit from the MAP Sensor harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  9

      No 

  9. (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND 
    Fig 7: Checking 5-Volt Supply Circuit
    GC0117147Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit in the MAP Sensor harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  10
  10. PCM 
    NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
    1. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
