Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 RAM Pickup and 2012 RAM Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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.
CHECK THE (A104) FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Drivetrain Control Module C1 and C2 harness connectors.
3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A104) Fused B(+) circuit.
  Does the test light illuminate brightly?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3.
  No
  - Repair the open or short in the (A104) Fused B(+) circuit.
  - Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE for 1500, 2500 & 3500 or STANDARD PROCEDURE for 3500 Cab & Chassis, 4500 & 5500 and perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST.
CHECK THE (Z908) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

1. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z908) Ground circuit.
  Does the test light illuminate brightly?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4.
  No
  - Repair the open in the (Z908) Ground circuit.
  - Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE for 1500, 2500 & 3500 or STANDARD PROCEDURE for 3500 Cab & Chassis, 4500 & 5500 and perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST.

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F942) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run-Start) circuit.
  Does the test light illuminate brightly?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 5.
  No
  - Repair the open or short in the (F942) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run-Start) circuit.
  - Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE for 1500, 2500 & 3500 or STANDARD PROCEDURE for 3500 Cab & Chassis, 4500 & 5500 and perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST.

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the TIPM C7 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (D52) CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the TIPM C7 harness connector and the DTCM C1 harness connector.
4. Measure the resistance of the (D51) CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the TIPM C7 harness connector and the DTCM C1 harness connector.
  Are the resistances below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Drivetrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, DRIVETRAIN CONTROL, REMOVAL .
  - Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE for 1500, 2500 & 3500 or STANDARD PROCEDURE for 3500 Cab & Chassis, 4500 & 5500 and perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST.
  No
  - Repair the open in the (D52) or (D51) CAN C Bus circuit.
  - Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE for 1500, 2500 & 3500 or STANDARD PROCEDURE for 3500 Cab & Chassis, 4500 & 5500 and perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST.
