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)


  1. 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.

    1. Turn the ignition on.
      NOTE:

      Make sure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.

    2. 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.
  2. CHECK FOR LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH PCM 
    1. With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display U0100-LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ECM/PCM?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  3.
  3. CHECK THE (Z908) GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. 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.

    3. 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.
