Diagnostic Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 RAM Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- ACTIVE DTC
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, record all Freeze frame data.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Turn the ignition off for 75 seconds.
- Start the engine and let idle for up to five minutes.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC reset?
Yes
- Go To 2.
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION - 6.7L .
- CHECK THE (K99) O2 1/1 HEATER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Disconnect the Oxygen Sensor 1/1 harness connector.
- Disconnect the Smart O2 Sensor Module harness connector.NOTE:
Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary, inspect for signs of Water intrusion in the connector.
- Measure the resistance of the (K99) O2 Sensor 1/1 Heater Supply circuit between the O2 Sensor 1/1 harness connector and the Smart O2 Sensor Module harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 3.
No
- Repair the (K99) O2 Sensor 1/1 Heater Supply circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
- CHECK THE (K79) O2 1/1 HEATER RETURN CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Measure the resistance of the (K79) O2 Sensor 1/1 Heater Return circuit between the O2 Sensor 1/1 harness connector and the Smart O2 Sensor Module harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 4.
No
- Repair the (K79) O2 Sensor 1/1 Heater Return circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
- Measure the resistance of the (K79) O2 Sensor 1/1 Heater Return circuit between the O2 Sensor 1/1 harness connector and the Smart O2 Sensor Module harness connector.
- CHECK THE OXYGEN SENSOR
- Measure resistance of the O2 Sensor Heater between the (K99) O2 Sensor 1/1 Heater Supply and (K79) O2 Sensor 1/1 Heater Return circuit at the O2 Sensor.
Is the resistance 3.2 +/- 0.8 Ohms at ambient temperature?
Yes
- Replace Smart O2 Sensor Module in accordance with the service information.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
No
- Replace the O2 Sensor in accordance with the service information.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
- Measure resistance of the O2 Sensor Heater between the (K99) O2 Sensor 1/1 Heater Supply and (K79) O2 Sensor 1/1 Heater Return circuit at the O2 Sensor.
