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.

OTHER DTCs
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
  Are any other DTCs Active?
  
  Yes
  - Repair other DTCs before proceeding.
  No
  - Go To 2.
CHECK FOR THE AFTERTREATMENT DIESEL OXIDATION CATALYST MISSING
1. Check the exhaust system to see if the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst has been removed.
  Is the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst present in the system?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3.
  No
  - Replace the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst in accordance with the service information
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
CHECK FOR EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR 1 AND EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR 2 HARNESS CONNECTORS REVERSED
NOTE:
Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (EGT) 1 is located at the DOC inlet and Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (EGT) 2 is located at the DOC outlet.
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the EGT 1 harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Using the scan tool, monitor the voltage reading of EGT Sensor 1 and EGT Sensor 2.
  Does the Diesel voltage value change to 5.0 volts for EGT Sensor 1 or EGT Sensor 2?
  
  EGT Sensor 1
  - Go To 4.
  EGT Sensor 2
  - The harness connectors are reversed. Disconnect EGT Sensor 2 and switch the harness connectors to the correct sensors.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
CHECK FOR AN EXHAUST LEAK
1. Perform the CHECKING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR LEAKS diagnostic procedure. Refer to Diagnosis and Testing , 6.7L .
  Are leaks found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair or replace as necessary.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Go To 5.
EXHAUST TEMPERATURE
1. With the scan tool, read the Exhaust Temperature Sensors to determine the exhaust temperature.
  Is the temperature reading above 225°F?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 6.
  No
  - Go To 7.
EXHAUST TEMPERATURE SENSORS
1. Start the engine.
2. Raise the engine speed to 2500 RPM for two minutes.
  Does the temperature readings of all three Exhaust Temperature Sensors change in value at least 5°F?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 8.
  No
  - Replace the Exhaust Temperature Sensor that did not change in value by at least 5°F or is not updating.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
EXHAUST TEMPERATURE SENSORS
1. Start the engine and allow it to idle for 10 minutes.
2. With the scan tool, read the values of all three Exhaust Temperature Sensors.
  Do all three temperature sensors read above 150°F and are the values of the temperature sensors updating?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 8.
  No
  - Replace the Exhaust Temperature Sensor that is not above 150°F or is not updating on the scan tool.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
CHECK THE CHARGE AIR COOLING SYSTEM FOR CONTAMINATION DAMAGING THE AFTERTREATMENT DIESEL OXIDATION CATALYST
1. Separate the exhaust plumbing from the Turbocharger outlet.
2. Inspect for signs of oil, coolant or fuel being introduced into the aftertreatment system from the engine or signs of moisture in the Turbocharger exhaust outlet.
  Is contamination found in the turbocharger exhaust outlet?
  
  Yes
  - Identify and repair the source of the contamination within the engine and replace the Aftertreatment Diesel Oxidation Catalyst after the engine failure has been repaired.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Go To 9.
AFTERTREATMENT DIESEL OXIDATION CATALYST INLET AND/OR OUTLET TEMPERATURE SENSORS
1. Remove the Aftertreatment Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and temperature sensors and inspect for damage and presence of face plugging.
  Are the components found to be missing, plugged or damaged during the inspection of the Aftertreatment Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and temperature sensors?
  
  Yes
  - Replace or repair damaged component(s).
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Go To 10.
AFTERTREATMENT DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
1. Remove the exhaust pipe and inspect the Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter.
  Does Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter show evidence of failure?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Aftertreatment Diesel Particulate Filter, clean the EGR Valve, and reset the regenerative timers with the scan tool.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
  No
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION - 6.7L diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION - 6.7L .
