      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. (K23) APP SENSOR 1 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (F856) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    GC0090972Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
    1. Measure the resistance between the (K23) APP Sensor 1 Signal circuit and the (F856) 5-Volt Supply circuit in the APP Sensor harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 10k Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short between the (K23) APP Sensor 1 Signal circuit and the (F856) 5-Volt Supply circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  6
  6. (K167) APP SENSOR 1 RETURN CIRCUIT OPEN 
    1. Measure the resistance of the (K167) APP Sensor 1 Return circuit between the APP Sensor harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 10.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  7

      No 

      • Repair the open or high resistance in the (K167) APP Sensor 1 Return circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  7. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) 
    NOTE:

    Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.

    1. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  8. APP SENSOR 1 SWEEP 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With a scan tool, monitor the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor voltage.
    3. Slowly press the Accelerator Pedal down.

      Does voltage start at approximately 0.45 of a volt and go above 4.6 volts with a smooth transition?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Replace the APP Sensor Assembly in accordance with the Service Information. After installation is complete, use a scan tool and select the ETC RELEARN function to relearn the APP Sensor values.
