WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 RAM 3500 HD and 2013 RAM 2500 HD. 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.
- Turn the ignition on.NOTE:
Make sure the battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
- With the scan tool, read the module status.NOTE:
Check the BCM for any active CAN C 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
- Turn the ignition on.
- CHECK (A107) AND (A200) FUSED B(+) CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Module harness connector.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A107) and the (A200) Fused B(+) circuits.
Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
