Diagnostic Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 RAM 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- ACTIVE DTC NOTE:
If there are any 5-Volt supply DTCs present, repair those DTCs before proceeding.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, record all Freeze frame data.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Turn the ignition off for 75 seconds.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC reset?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- CHECK THE (F857) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Ignition on.
- Disconnect the Temperature/Pressure MAP (T/P MAP) Sensor harness connector.
- With a voltmeter, measure the voltage of the (F857) 5-Volt Supply circuit at the T/P MAP Sensor harness connector.
Is the voltage reading between 4.9 and 5.1 volts?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Repair the (F857) 5-Volt Supply circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK THE BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR
- While monitoring the scan tool, connect a jumper between the (F857) 5-Volt Supply circuit and the (K37) Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit at the T/P MAP Sensor harness connector.
Did the P0108 DTC set?
Yes
- Replace the Temperature/Pressure MAP Sensor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to SENSOR, MAP, REMOVAL .
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 4
- While monitoring the scan tool, connect a jumper between the (F857) 5-Volt Supply circuit and the (K37) Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit at the T/P MAP Sensor harness connector.
- CHECK FOR THE (K37) BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K916) BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR RETURN CIRCUIT
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance between the (K37) Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit and (K916) Sensor Ground circuit at the T/P MAP Sensor harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the short between the (K37) Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit and (K916) Sensor Ground circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 5
- CHECK THE (K37) BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (K37) Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit.
Is the resistance below 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the (K37) Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 6
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (K37) Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit.
- CHECK THE (K37) BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Measure the resistance of the (K37) Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit between the T/P MAP Sensor and the PCM C1 harness connectors.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 7.
No
- Repair the (K37) Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance of the (K37) Boost Pressure Sensor Signal circuit between the T/P MAP Sensor and the PCM C1 harness connectors.
- POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
- Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Freeze Frame and Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL (PCM), REMOVAL .
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Test complete.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
