Diagnostic Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Dodge Avenger and 2013 Chrysler 200. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION NOTE:
Check for any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, record and erase TIPM DTCs.
- Cycle the ignition from on to off three times.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read active TIPM DTCs.
Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
Yes
- Go To 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.

- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, select ECU View.
- Verify that all CAN B Bus modules are communicating with the scan tool.NOTE:
If any module is not communicating, perform the appropriate no response test procedure before proceeding.
- Turn the ignition off.
- Gain access to the Totally Integrated Power Module C3 harness connector, but do not disconnect.
- Using a fused jumper wire, connect one end to ground and with the other end backprobe the CAN B Bus (-) circuit at the TIPM C3 harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool monitor the ECU View screen and document all the modules that are not communicating.
Are there any CAN B Bus modules not communicating?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Check backprobe connection to ground, make sure it is proper. The CAN B Bus open DTC may no longer be active, it may be stored. Check all module connections.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- ATTEMPT TO ISOLATE THE OPEN CONDITION - MULTIPLE MODULES
- With the scan tool continue monitoring the ECU View screen.
Are there multiple CAN B Bus modules not communicating?
Yes
- The most likely cause of this condition is an open CAN B Bus (+) circuit between a common CAN B Bus splice and the modules. Use the wiring diagrams to help you determine where the open condition exists.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Go To 4
- With the scan tool continue monitoring the ECU View screen.
- (D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the module that is not communicating.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Measure the voltage between the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and ground.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
- Inspect the connector and terminal for damage, inspect for spread terminals, or pushed out terminals. If OK, replace the module in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the appropriate verification test for the module being replaced. If there is no verification test for the associated module perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
No
- Repair the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for an open between the next common splice and the module. Use the wiring diagrams to help you determine where the open condition exists.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
