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
- Ignition on, engine not running.
- 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 .
- CHECK THE (K352) EXHAUST TEMPERATURE SENSOR 2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
- Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (K352) Exhaust Temperature Sensor 2 Signal circuit at the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Repair the (K352) Exhaust Temperature Sensor 2 Signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK FOR THE (K352) EXHAUST TEMPERATURE SENSOR 2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K900) SENSOR RETURN CIRCUIT
- Measure the resistance between the (K352) Exhaust Temperature Sensor 2 Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor Return circuit at the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Repair the (K352) Exhaust Temperature Sensor 2 Signal circuit for a short to the (K900) Sensor Return circuit.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance between the (K352) Exhaust Temperature Sensor 2 Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor Return circuit at the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
- EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR
- Reconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
- Reconnect the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, clear DTCs.
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
- Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.NOTE:
The scan tool should display a P2033-Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1/2 Circuit High DTC as active with the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1/2 connector unplugged.
Does the scan tool display the DTC as described above?
Yes
- Replace the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1/2 in accordance with the service information.
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 5
- POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
- Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1/2 and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
- Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
- Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
- 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 (PCM) in accordance with the service information. Refer to REMOVAL .
- Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .
