Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 RAM 1500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

DTC IS ACTIVE
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With the scan tool, erase DTCs in the PCM.
3. Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.
4. Cycle the ignition key off and on several times, leaving the ignition on for at least 10 seconds at a time.
5. 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 INTERMITTENT DTC .
MAF/INTAKE AIR SENSOR
1. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
2. Turn the ignition off.
3. Disconnect the MAF/Intake Air Sensor harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
  NOTE:
  The scan tool should display a P0113-Intake Air Temperature Sensor High DTC as active or pending with the connector disconnected.
  
  Does the scan tool display the DTC as described above?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Mass Air Flow/Intake Air Sensor in accordance with the service information.
  - Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 3
CHECK THE (K362) INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K362) Intake Air Temperature Signal circuit at the MAF/Intake Air Sensor harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Repair the (K362) Intake Air Temperature Signal circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK FOR THE (K362) INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K757) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Measure the resistance between the (K362) Intake Air Temperature Signal circuit and the (K757) Sensor Ground circuit at the MAF/Intake Air Sensor harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 5
  No
  - Repair the (K362) Intake Air Temperature Signal circuit for a short to the (K757) Sensor Ground circuit.
  - Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Mass Air Flow/Intake Air Sensor and the Powertrain Control Module.
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 PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Replace the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the service information. Refer to REMOVAL .
  - Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
