Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 RAM Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

U010C ACTIVE
Is DTC U010C Active?

Yes
- Go To 2.
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION - 6.7L diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION - 6.7L .
OTHER DTCS
NOTE:
Repair any Voltage Low DTCs before proceeding with this test procedure.

NOTE:
The J1939 Data Link is a BUS circuit which the PCM uses to communicate with the Turbo Actuator, DEF Dosing Control Unit, NOx Sensor 1/1 and Nox Sensor 1/2. If the J1939 Data Link is shorted or one of these components is internally shorted, communication will be lost and DTCs will set against ALL of these components.

Are there lost communication DTCs present against All of the components listed in the note above?

Yes
- Go To 5.
No
- Go To 3.

CHECK THE J1939 DATALINK OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect both NOx Sensor Module harness connectors.
3. Disconnect the DEF Dosing Control Unit C2 harness connector.
4. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
  NOTE:
  Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
5. Measure the resistance of the J1939 Data Link (+) circuit between the Turbo Actuator harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.
6. Measure the resistance of the J1939 Data Link (-) circuit between the Turbo Actuator harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms for both circuits?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Turbocharger Assembly in accordance with the service information.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Repair the J1939 circuit that measured above 5.0 Ohms for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
CHECK THE COMPONENTS ON THE J1939 DATALINK
NOTE:
Disconnect only one component at a time during this next step. If the DTCs for the components that are STILL CONNECTED change from active to stored, the component that was disconnected is faulty. If all of the DTCs remain active, then the disconnected component is not the problem. Reconnect each component before going on to the next one so that only one component is disconnected at a time.
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Turbo Actuator harness connector. Cycle the ignition key on and off three times ending with the ignition on. Leave the ignition in the off position for 75 seconds each time.
  NOTE:
  Monitor the status of the DTCs for the remaining connected components with the scan tool.
3. Turn the ignition off and reconnect the Turbo Actuator harness connector.
4. Disconnect the NOx Sensor Module 1/1 harness connector. Cycle the ignition key on and off three times ending with the ignition on. Leave the ignition in the off position for 75 seconds each time.
  NOTE:
  Monitor the status of the DTCs for the remaining connected components with the scan tool.
5. Turn the ignition off and reconnect the NOx Sensor Module 1/1 harness connector.
6. Disconnect the NOx Sensor Module 1/2 harness connector. Cycle the ignition key on and off three times ending with the ignition on. Leave the ignition in the off position for 75 seconds each time.
  NOTE:
  Monitor the status of the DTCs for the remaining connected components with the scan tool.
7. Turn the ignition off and reconnect the NOx Sensor Module 1/2 harness connector.
8. Disconnect the DEF Dosing Control Unit C2 harness connector. Cycle the ignition key on and off three times ending with the ignition on. Leave the ignition in the off position for 75 seconds each time.
  NOTE:
  Monitor the status of the DTCs for the remaining connected components with the scan tool.
  
  Did the status of the DTCs change to stored for the components STILL CONNECTED when disconnecting any one of the components listed above?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the component that caused the DTC change from active to stored in accordance with the service information.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Go To 6.
CHECK THE J1939 DATALINK FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Turbo Actuator, NOx Sensor Modules, DEF Dosing Control Unit, and the PCM C2 harness connectors.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the J1939 Data Link (+) circuit at the PCM C2 harness connector.
4. Measure the resistance between ground and the J1939 Data Link (-) circuit at the PCM C2 harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 10k Ohms for both circuits?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 7.
  No
  - Repair the J1939 circuit that measured below 10k Ohms for a short to ground.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
CHECK THE J1939 DATALINK FOR A SHORT
1. Measure the resistance between the J1939 Data Link (+) circuit at the PCM C2 harness connector and all other circuits in the PCM C2 harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the J1939 Data Link (-) circuit at the PCM C2 harness connector and all other circuits in the PCM C2 harness connector.
  NOTE:
  Disregard any resistance between 50 and 70 Ohms between the J1939 (+) and the J1939 Data Link (-) pins.
  
  Is the resistance above 10k Ohms for both measurements?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 8.
  No
  - Repair the J1939 circuit for a short circuit.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
