Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Dodge Caliber. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
NOTE: Before proceeding with this diagnostic process, verify the proper connection of the SCM C1 harness connector. A loose connection at this connector will cause this DTC to set.
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Gently pull the SCM C1 connector harness to verify the locking tab is fully engaged. If the connector locking tab is not fully engaged, push to seat the connector locking tab.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Wait 30 seconds.
5. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 2
  No
  - The condition that caused this code to set is not present at this time. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Steering Column Module C1 harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Measure the voltage of the (D506) LIN BUS circuit.
  Is the voltage above 5 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 3
  No
  - Repair the (D506) LIN BUS circuit for an open
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure

1. Measure the voltage of the (F202) Fused Ignition Switch Output (RUN/START) circuit.
  Is the voltage above 10 volts?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 4
  No
  - Repair the (F202) Fused Ignition Switch Output (RUN/START) circuit for an open.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure

1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z936-MTX)/(Z937-ATX) Ground circuit.
  Is the resistance below 10K ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the SCM in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure
  No
  - Repair the (Z936-MTX)/(Z937-ATX) ground circuit for an open.
