Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Durango. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL 
    NOTE:

    This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.

    1. Check the brake fluid level.

      Was the brake fluid level low?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  2
  2. BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH SIGNAL VOLTAGE BELOW 0.68 OF A VOLT 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read Brake Fluid Level Switch Sense voltage in the BCM.

      Is the voltage below 0.68 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go To  3

      No 

  3. BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH INTERNAL FAILURE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Brake Fluid Level Switch harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. With the scan tool, read the Brake Fluid Level Switch voltage in the BCM.

      Is the voltage approximately 5 volts?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK THE (B20) BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE IN THE HARNESS 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the BCM C4 harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage between ground and the (B20) Brake Fluid Level Switch Sense circuit.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to voltage in the (B20) Brake Fluid Level Switch Sense circuit.
      • Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST  .

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. CHECK THE (B20) BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (B20) Brake Fluid Level Switch Sense circuit in the Brake Fluid Level Switch harness connector to ground.

      Is the resistance below 100 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (B20) Brake Fluid Level Switch Sense circuit for a short to ground.
      • Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST  .

      No 

      • Go To  6
  6. CHECK THE (B20) BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (B20) Brake Fluid Level Switch Sense circuit between the Brake Fluid Level Switch harness connector and the BCM C4 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  7

      No 

      • Repair the open in the (B20) Brake Fluid Level Switch Sense circuit.
      • Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST  .
  7. CHECK THE BCM FOR CORRECT OPERATION 
    1. Connect a jumper wire between the (B20) Brake Fluid Level Switch Sense circuit and the (Z901) Ground circuit in the Brake Fluid Level Switch harness connector.
    2. Turn the ignition on.
    3. With the scan tool, read the Brake Fluid Level Voltage.

      Is the voltage below 1.0 volt?

      Yes 

      • Replace the Brake Fluid Level Switch.
      • Perform the ABS VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to ABS VERIFICATION TEST  .

      No
