Diagnostic Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 RAM Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
| Possible Causes |
|---|
| A-604 FUSED B(+) CIRCUITS OPEN OR SHORTED |
| (Z908) GROUND CIRCUITS OPEN |
| (F202) IGNITION RUN/START CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED |
| (F1) FUSED IGNITION OFF/RUN/START CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED |
| (F342) FUSED ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED |
| (D65) CAN C BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN |
| (D64) CAN C BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN |
| POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) |
- 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.NOTE:
Make sure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
- With the scan tool, read the module status.NOTE:
Check the TIPM for any active CAN hardware DTCs, perform DTC before proceeding.
Does the scan tool indicate that the module is active on the bus?
Yes
- The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
No
- Go To 2.
- Turn the ignition on.
- CHECK FOR LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH PCM
- With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.
Does the scan tool display U0100-LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ECM/PCM?
Yes
- Refer to NO RESPONSE FROM TCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) - GAS and perform the diagnostic procedure.
No
- Go To 3.
- With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.
- CHECK THE (Z908) GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector.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 the PCM Pinout Box (special tool #8815A, Kit, NGC, 38 Position) to perform diagnosis.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z908) Ground circuits.
Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit?
Yes
- Replace the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, Powertrain Control , Removal r .
- Perform the appropriate TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.
No
- Repair the open in the (Z908) Ground circuit.
- Perform the appropriate TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.
