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
WARNING:
When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

NOTE:
If any ASD Relay DTCs have set along with any of the O2 SENSOR HEATER CIRCUIT HIGH DTCs, all of the ASD O2 Sensor Heater Feed circuits need to be checked for a short to battery voltage.
1. Start the engine and allow it to idle for at least 60 seconds.
2. 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 CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
CHECK THE O2 SENSOR HEATER ELEMENT
1. Turn the ignition off.
  NOTE:
  Allow the O2 Sensor to cool down to room temperature.
2. Disconnect the O2 Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance across the O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater element, between the O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater Control terminal and the Heater ground terminal at the O2 Sensor 1/2 (component side).
  NOTE:
  O2 Heater Element resistance values should be measured at 21.1 C (70°F). The resistance value will vary with different temperature values.
  
  Is the O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater Element resistance between 2.0 and 30.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the O2 Sensor 1/2 and Powertrain Control Module connectors. If OK, replace the O2 Sensor. Refer to SENSOR, OXYGEN, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
CHECK THE (K299) O2 SENSOR 1/2 HEATER CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Measure the voltage on the (K299) O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater Control circuit in the O2 Sensor 1/2 harness connector.
  Is there any voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the O2 Sensor 1/2 Heater Control circuit for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
  No
  - Go To 4
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.
