Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 RAM ProMaster EV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

READ AND RECORD DTCS AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
NOTE: CLEARING THE DTC AFTER A REPAIR - Perform after a wiring repair or component replacement:
To erase the DTC from the Body Control Module (BCM), the BCM must detect an ignition ON/OFF/ON cycle, making sure the Power Accessory Delay (PAD) is deactivated (driver door opened) after the ignition transitions to the OFF position, along with the normal operation of the system that is associated with this DTC.
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read DTCs in all Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and record on the repair order.
3. With the scan tool, run a vehicle Scan Report, or record the Environmental Data related to the DTCs.
4. With the scan tool, read Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs.
  Is the DTC Active?
  
  Yes
  - Go To Next Step.
  No
  - Perform the appropriate INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
ACTUATE THE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK RELAYS
NOTE:
Make sure the door latch is closed or the latch is manually placed in the closed position.
1. With the scan tool, record and erase the BCM DTCs.
2. With the door lock switch, scan tool, or FOBs, cycle the doors locked and unlocked several times.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. With the scan tool, read the BCM DTCs.
  Does the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Go To Next Step.
  No
  - Perform the appropriate INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
CHECK THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) CONNECTORS AND TERMINALS
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Check the BCM harness connector for proper connection at the BCM.
3. Verify that the connector is completely plugged in and properly locked prior to disconnecting.
4. Disconnect the BCM harness connector and check for any pushed out, damaged or spread terminals.
  Were any issues found with the connector or terminals?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the damaged terminal or properly connect and lock the BCM harness connector and retest for DTCs.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To Next Step
CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
1. Disconnect all BCM harness connectors.
2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
  - Proper connector installation.
  - Damaged connector locks.
  - Corrosion.
  - Other signs of water intrusion.
  - Weather seal damage (if equipped).
  - Bent terminals.
  - Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
  - Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
  - Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
5. Reconnect all BCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
9. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
10. With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Body Control Module (BCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, BODY CONTROL (BCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  - Test complete.
