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.
- TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using a scan tool, record and erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Operate the Inverter switch several times.
- Using a scan tool, read DTCs.
Is the DTC active at this time?
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. Look for chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK (P807) INVERTER SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Inverter Module harness connector.
- Disconnect the TIPM C7 harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (P807) Inverter Switch Signal circuit at the Inverter Module harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate?
Yes
- Repair the (P807) Inverter Switch Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 3.
- CHECK (P807) INVERTER SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FUNCTION
- Turn the ignition off.
- Reconnect the C7 TIPM harness connector.
- Using a 12-Volt test light connected to ground, probe the (P807) Inverter Switch Signal circuit at the Inverter Module harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using a scan tool, actuate the Inverter Enable control.NOTE:
The test light should be illuminated and brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Replace the Inverter Module in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 4.
- CHECK (P807) INVERTER SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the C7 TIPM harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the (P807) Inverter Switch Signal circuit between the TIPM C7 harness connector and the Inverter Module harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Replace the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Repair the (P807) Inverter Switch Signal circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
