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.
- TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION NOTE: Check for any TSB(s) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using the scan tool, record and erase TIPM DTCs.
- Cycle the ignition from on to off three times.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using the scan tool, read active TIPM DTCs.
Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
- ANY CAN B BUS MODULE - INTERNAL FAULT
- Turn the ignition off.
- Using the scan tool, monitor the active TIPM DTCs.
- While monitoring the scan tool, disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time.NOTE: When performing the above step, turn the ignition off (wait one minute) before disconnecting any module. When the module is disconnected turn the ignition on.NOTE: This is to determine if the fault is internal within a module.
- Check for this DTC to become active after disconnecting each CAN B Bus module the vehicle is equipped with.NOTE: If the DTC becomes stored when a particular CAN B Bus module is disconnected, that module is causing the DTC to set.
With all the CAN B Bus modules disconnected did the TIPM still set this DTC as active?
Yes
- Go to step 3
No
- Replace the module that when disconnected the DTC became stored.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
- (D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the TIPM C3 harness connector.NOTE: Make sure each CAN B Bus module is disconnected at this time.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Measure the voltage between the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and ground.
Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?
Yes
- Repair the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 4
- (D54) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
NOTE: Make sure each CAN B Bus module is disconnected at this time.
- Measure the voltage between the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit and ground.
Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?
Yes
- Repair the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 5
- Measure the voltage between the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit and ground.
- (D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Turn the ignition off.NOTE: Make sure each CAN B Bus module is disconnected at this time.
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit.
Is the resistance above 1000.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go to step 6
No
- Repair the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
- Turn the ignition off.
- (D54) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
NOTE: Make sure each CAN B Bus module is disconnected at this time.
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
Is the resistance above 1000.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go to step 7
No
- Repair the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
- (D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (D54) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT
- Measure the resistance between the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.NOTE: Make sure each CAN B Bus module is disconnected at this time.
Is any resistance present?
Yes
- Repair the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 8
- Measure the resistance between the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
- (D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN
- Measure the resistance of the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit between the TIPM C3 harness connector and the Cluster C4 harness connector.
Is the resistance above 10.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 9
- Measure the resistance of the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit between the TIPM C3 harness connector and the Cluster C4 harness connector.
- (D54) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN
- Measure the resistance of the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit between the TIPM C3 harness connector and the Cluster C4 harness connector.
Is the resistance above 10.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (D54) CAN B Bus (-) circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Replace and program the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) in accordance with the Service Information.
