Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 RAM 2500 HD and 2012 RAM Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

ACTIVE DTC
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, Clear DTCs in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
3. With the scan tool, actuate the SRV Solenoid Control State.
4. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
  Is the status Active for this DTC?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
CHECK THE (F342) ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With the scan tool, actuate the Auto Shutdown (ASD) Relay Control State.
5. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F342) ASD Relay Output circuit in the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector.
  NOTE:
  The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
  
  Is the test light illuminated and bright?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Repair the (F342) ASD Relay Output circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
CHECK THE (Z908) SRV GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Measure the resistance of the (Z908) SRV Ground circuit in the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector to ground.
  Is the resistance less than 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Repair the (Z908) SRV Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
SHORT RUNNER VALVE ASSEMBLY
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, actuate the SRV Solenoid Control State to toggle.
3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (K238) SRV Control circuit in the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector.
  NOTE:
  If the DTC is active, the actuation test may not be allowed by the PCM. If may be necessary to clear the DTCs before starting the actuation.
  
  NOTE:
  The test light should illuminate on and off with the actuation.
  
  Does the test light illuminate on and off with the actuation?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Short Runner Valve Assembly in accordance with the service information. Refer to MANIFOLD, INTAKE, CNG [EZF], REMOVAL, 5.7L .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To 5
CHECK THE (K238) SRV CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K238) SRV Control circuit in the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 10k Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (K238) SRV Control circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To 6
CHECK THE (K238) SRV CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
CAUTION:
Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.
1. Connect the (special tool #10436, Adapter, GPEC Diagnostic).
2. Measure the resistance of the (K238) SRV Control circuit between the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector and the appropriate terminal of GPEC Adaptor.
  Is the resistance less than 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 7
  No
  - Repair the (K238) SRV Control circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
CHECK THE (K238) SRV SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition on
2. Measure the voltage of the (K238) SRV Signal circuit in the Short Runner Valve Assembly harness connector.
  Is there any voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (K238) SRV Signal circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To 8
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Short Runner Valve Assembly and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
4. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in accordance with the service information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
