Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Fiat 500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
NOTE:
Diagnose any system voltage DTCs first if present.
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, erase DTCs in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
3. Start the engine and test drive the vehicle. Perform several acceleration and deceleration events during the test drive.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
  Is the DTC active or pending?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT DTC diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
CHECK THE (F344) FUSED ASD RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Turbocharger Surge Valve harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (F344) Fused ASD Relay Output circuit at the Turbocharger Surge Valve harness connector.
  NOTE:
  The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
  
  Is the test light illuminated and bright?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Repair the (F344) Fused ASD Relay Output circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
CHECK THE (K150) TURBOCHARGER SURGE VALVE CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module C2 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (K150) Turbocharger Surge Valve Control circuit between the Turbocharger Surge Valve harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Repair the (K150) Turbocharger Surge Valve Control circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
TURBOCHARGER SURGE VALVE
1. Reconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. With the scan tool, actuate the Turbocharger Surge Valve to 100%.
4. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, probe the (K150) Turbocharger Surge Valve Control circuit in Turbocharger Surge Valve harness connector.
  NOTE:
  The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
  
  NOTE:
  Be certain the actuation is active when checking the circuit.
5. With the scan tool, actuate the Turbocharger Surge Valve to 0%.
6. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, probe the (K150) Turbocharger Surge Valve Control circuit in the Turbocharger Surge Valve harness connector.
  NOTE:
  The test light should not be illuminated.
  
  Is the test light illuminated and bright with the actuation at 100% and not illuminated with the actuation at 0%?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Turbocharger Surge Valve in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
  No
  - Go To 5
CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
1. Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
2. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
3. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
4. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
5. 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.
  - Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
6. Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
9. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
10. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
11. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
  No
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
  - Test complete.
