Test NS-6B - Correcting No Response Condition
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Dodge Ram Wagon, 1995 Dodge Ram Van, 1995 Dodge Pickup, and 1995 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
For circuit and connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION

section at the end of this article.
- If ignition is not on when NO RESPONSE message is displayed, turn ignition on to get a response. If NO RESPONSE message returns, turn ignition off. Go to next step. If NO RESPONSE message does not return, test is complete. If ignition is on when NO RESPONSE message is displayed, turn ignition off. Go to next step.
- Disconnect scan tool from Data Link Connector (DLC). Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector. Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance between DLC, SCI transmit circuit (Pink wire) and ground. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Pink or Black wire. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If resistance is more than 5 ohms, use an external ohmmeter to check resistance between DLC, SCI receive circuit (Light Green wire) and ground. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Light Green or Black/Yellow wire. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If resistance is more than 5 ohms, check resistance of SCI transmit circuit (Pink wire) between DLC and PCM connector terminal No. 25 using an external ohmmeter. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Pink or Black wire. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, use an external ohmmeter to check resistance of SCI receive circuit (Light Green wire) between DLC and PCM connector terminal No. 45. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open Light Green or Black/Yellow wire. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, connect scan tool to a functional DLC on another vehicle. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, attempt to read trouble codes. If scan tool does not display NO RESPONSE, replace PCM on initial vehicle. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If scan tool displays NO RESPONSE, substitute another scan tool adapter cable. Using scan tool, attempt to read trouble codes. If scan tool does not display NO RESPONSE, replace scan tool adapter cable. If scan tool displays NO RESPONSE, repair or replace scan tool.
