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 
(A910/A118) FUSED B(+) CIRCUITS OPEN OR SHORTED
(Z915) GROUND CIRCUITS OPEN
(F202) IGNITION RUN/START CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED
(F1) IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (OFF-RUN-START) 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 

      • Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are 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. (A910/A118) FUSED B(+) CIRCUITS OPEN OR SHORTED

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
    3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A910/A118) Fused B(+) circuits.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go To  3.

      No 

  3. (Z915) GROUND CIRCUITS OPEN

    1. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z915) Ground circuits.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4.

      No 

  4. (F202) IGNITION RUN/START CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F202) Ignition Run/Start Control Output circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5.

      No 

  5. (F1) IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (OFF-RUN-START) CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED 
    Fig 4: Using 12-Volt Test Light To Check Ignition Switch Output (Off-Run-Start) Circuit

    1. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F1) Ignition Switch Output (Off-Run-Start) circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go To  6.

      No 

  6. (D65) CAN C BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the TIPM C1 harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (D65) CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the TIPM C1 harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.

      Is resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  7.

      No 

  7. (D64) CAN C BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN
