Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 RAM 3500 HD and 2015 RAM 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

VERIFY THE DTC IS ACTIVE
1. Perform any Service Bulletins that may apply.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. With the scan tool, read and record the Environmental Data to help identify the conditions in which the DTC was set.
4. Start the vehicle.
5. With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
6. Place the vehicle in "Transport Mode" switch to ON.
7. Wait 45 seconds.
8. With the vehicle in "Transport Mode" switch to OFF.
9. Wait 45 seconds.
10. With the scan tool, read ASCM DTCs.

AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY HARNESS CONNECTOR
NOTE:
Make sure the Air Suspension Solenoid Assembly harness connector is connected correctly.
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Inspect the Air Suspension Compressor Assembly harness connector for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the ASCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To 3
(Y30) AIR SPRING VALVE SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Disconnect the Air Suspension Compressor Assembly harness connector.
2. Disconnect the ASCM C2 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (Y30) 12V Valve Power Supply circuit between the ASCM C2 harness connector and the Air Suspension Solenoid Assembly harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (Y30) 12V Valve Power Supply circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the ASCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To 4
(Y34) RR AIR SPRING VALVE CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Measure the resistance of the (Y34) RR Air Spring Valve Control circuit between the ASCM C2 harness connector and the Air Suspension Solenoid Assembly harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (Y34) RR Air Spring Valve Control circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the ASCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To 5
AIR SUSPENSION COMPRESSOR ASSEMBLY
1. Connect the Air Suspension Compressor Assembly harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the (Y30) 12V Valve Power Supply circuit and the (Y34) RR Air Spring Valve Control circuit at the ASCM C2 harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 30 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Air Suspension Compressor Assembly in accordance with the Service Information. (Refer to REMOVAL ).
  - Perform the ASCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Replace the Air Suspension Control Module (ASCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, AIR SUSPENSION CONTROL, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the ASCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
INTERMITTENT WIRING, CONNECTORS AND AIR LINES
1. Inspect the intake and exhaust air lines for restrictions, debris, or contamination.
2. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring harness and connectors.
3. Wiggle test the wiring harness and connectors while monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit.
4. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
5. While monitoring the scan tool data relative to this circuit, move the selector switch to each position several times.
6. Look for the data to change other than as expected or for the DTC to reset.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the ASCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time.
