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 FOR APPLICABLE SERVICE BULLETIN 
    1. Check for any applicable Service Bulletins that may apply for this issue.

      Were any Service Bulletins applicable?

      Yes 

      • Perform the applicable Service Bulletin. Erase the DTC and perform the verification test.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  2
  2. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
    3. Record the Freeze Frame Data.
    4. Start the engine, or crank the engine for 10 seconds.
      NOTE:

      If the vehicle starts and runs, wiggle test the wiring and see if problem duplicates or the fault sets.

      Is the DTC active or pending?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. WIRE HARNESS/CKP SENSOR INSPECTION 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the harness connectors at the PCM and Crank Sensor and inspect for wire chaffing or rub conditions, terminals pushed out on the wiring connector, bent terminals at the PCM and Crank Sensor, water in the connector cavities, presence of corrosion on the terminals of the connectors or components.
    3. Visually inspect the mounting area of Crank Sensor for debris/damage or a loose sensor. Remove the Crank Sensor and inspect the end of the sensor for signs of damage or debris. Rotate the engine and if possible, inspect the target wheel for any signs of damage. Reinstall the Crank Sensor and ensure that the sensor is properly installed and torqued to proper specification.
      NOTE:

      Due to the fact that this DTC is set by an intermittent loss of the signal, the most likely cause is a poor connection at the Crank Sensor or PCM terminals, or a poor signal between the Crank Sensor and target wheel. Because of this, unplugging and reconnecting the harness connectors, or repositioning the Crank Sensor will often repair the condition that set the DTC.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK THE VEHICLE'S REPAIR HISTORY 
    1. Check the history of the vehicle for previous crank sensor related DTCs within the past 90 days.

      Did the repair history show that the vehicle was in dealership for a crank sensor fault within the past 90 days?

      Yes 

      • Replace the Crank Sensor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to CRANKSHAFT, REMOVAL .The "Cam/Crank Relearn" Procedure  must be performed every time there has been a repair/replacement made to a CMP Sensor and/or CKP sensor, flywheel, valvetrain, timing chain or gears. Failure to do so can cause a misfire fault to set. With the scan tool, perform the "Cam/Crank Relearn" Procedure.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Test complete. Reconnect the harness connectors, and erase the DTC. The most likely cause was a poor connection at one of the harness connectors. Verify the DTC does not return.
