Diagnostic Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 RAM 3500 HD and 2015 RAM 2500 HD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- ACTIVE DTC NOTE:
If the P204A DTC is also active, diagnose and repair that DTC before continuing with this test procedure.
- Turn the ignition on for one minute, engine not running.
- With the scan tool check for active DTCs.
Is the DTC active?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION - 6.7L. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION - 6.7L .
- CHECK THE DEF TANK LEVEL SENSOR 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT
- Turn ignition off.
- Disconnect the DEF Pump/Level assembly harness connector.
- Turn ignition on.
- Measure the voltage at the DEF Tank Level Sensor 5-Volt Supply circuit at the DEF Pump/Level assembly harness connector.
Is the voltage reading between 4.8 and 5.2 volts?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Repair the DEF Tank Level Sensor 5-Volt Supply circuit for an open circuit or short to ground.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
- CHECK THE DEF TANK LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Turn ignition off.
- Disconnect the DEF Dosing Control Unit C2 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance between ground and the DEF Tank Level Sensor Signal circuit at the DEF Pump/Level assembly harness connector.
Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Repair the DEF Tank Level Sensor Signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
- CHECK FOR THE DEF TANK LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE DEF TANK LEVEL SENSOR RETURN CIRCUIT
- Measure the resistance between the DEF Tank Level Sensor Signal circuit and the DEF Tank Level Sensor Return circuit at the DEF Pump/Level assembly harness connector.
Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Repair the short between the DEF Tank Level Sensor Signal circuit and the DEF Tank Level Sensor Return circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
- Measure the resistance between the DEF Tank Level Sensor Signal circuit and the DEF Tank Level Sensor Return circuit at the DEF Pump/Level assembly harness connector.
- CHECK THE DEF TANK LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Measure the resistance of the DEF Tank Level Sensor Signal circuit between the DEF Pump/Level assembly harness connector and the DEF Dosing Control Unit C2 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Repair the DEF Tank Level Sensor Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
- Measure the resistance of the DEF Tank Level Sensor Signal circuit between the DEF Pump/Level assembly harness connector and the DEF Dosing Control Unit C2 harness connector.
- CHECK THE DEF PUMP/LEVEL ASSEMBLY
- Connect a jumper between the DEF Tank Level Sensor 5-Volt Supply circuit and the DEF Tank Level Sensor Signal circuit at the DEF Pump/Level assembly harness connector.
- Reconnect the DEF Dosing Control Unit C2 harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on, engine not running.
- With the scan tool check DTCs.
- Monitor the scan tool for one minute.
Did DTC P203D set as active or pending with the jumper in place?
Yes
- Replace the DEF Pump/Level assembly in accordance with the service information.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
No
- Replace the DEF Dosing Control Unit in accordance with the service information.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
