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.

ACTIVE DTC
NOTE:
If there are any ASD/Main Relay or system voltage DTCs present, diagnose those DTCs before proceeding with this test procedure.
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With the scan tool, select View DTCs. Copy DTC and Freeze Frame information and clear DTCs.
  NOTE:
  Active or pending DTCs may not allow Electric Coolant Pump Relay actuation, make sure all DTCs are cleared before proceeding with this test procedure.
3. With the scan tool, actuate the Electric Coolant Pump Relay.
4. Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.
5. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
  Is the status Active for this DTC?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
ELECTRIC COOLANT PUMP RELAY
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Install a known good relay.
3. With the scan tool, actuate the Electric Coolant Pump Relay.
4. Monitor the scan tool for at least two minutes.
5. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
  Is the DTC active at this time?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Replace the Electric Coolant Pump Relay.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
CHECK THE (Z115) ELECTRIC COOLANT PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the Electric Coolant Pump Relay from the Power Distribution Center (PDC).
3. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Measure the resistance between the (Z115) Electric Coolant Pump Relay Control circuit and all other circuits at the PCM C1 harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 10k Ohms between the (Z115) Electric Coolant Pump Relay Control circuit and all other circuits?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 5
  No
  - Go To 4
CHECK THE PDC FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
1. Disconnect the PDC C2 harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the (Z115) Electric Coolant Pump Relay Control circuit and all other circuits at the PCM C1 harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 10k Ohms between the (Z115) Electric Coolant Pump Relay Control circuit and all other circuits?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the PDC in accordance with the service information.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
  No
  - Repair the (Z115) Electric Coolant Pump Control circuit for a short to the circuit that measured below 10k Ohms.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Relay and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the related connectors.
4. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
  No
  - Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in accordance with the service information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
