Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Dodge Avenger and 2013 Chrysler 200. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. DTC IS ACTIVE 
    WARNING:

    The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Never work around or attempt to service any part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Special care should be taken when working near any part of the exhaust system. The temperature rises to a high level after a short period of engine operating time.

    1. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.
      WARNING:

      When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

      NOTE:

      Diagnose and repair any system voltage or sensor supply voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.

    2. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

      Is the status Active for this DTC?

      Yes

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance between the (K157) MAF Sensor Signal circuit and the Fused Ignition Output in the C1 Secondary Air Pump Assembly harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K157) MAF Sensor Signal circuit for a short to the Fused Ignition Output circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .

      No
