Diagnostic Test

  1. ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE:

    Review oil change history to ensure that the oil is being changed at the correct intervals and that the proper oil viscosity is being used.

    1. Verify engine oil level.
    2. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.
      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 can result in possible serious or fatal injury.

    3. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

      Is the DTC Active at this time?

      Yes

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
    3. Ignition on, engine not running.
    4. Measure the voltage on the (G6) Engine Oil Pressure Signal circuit in the PCM C2 harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to voltage in the (G6) Engine Oil Pressure Signal circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. (G6) ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN

    GC0150132Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (G6) Engine Oil Pressure Signal circuit from the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector to the PCM C2 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

      • Repair the open in the (G6) Engine Oil Pressure Signal circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  4. (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN 
    Fig 3: Checking Engine Oil Pressure Ground Circuit For An Open Or Excessive Resistance
    GC0150148Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
    1. Measure the resistance of the (K900) Sensor Ground circuit from the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector to the PCM C2 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

  5. (G6) ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    Fig 4: Checking Engine Oil Pressure Signal Circuit For Short To 5-Volt Supply Circuit
    GC0149093Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
    1. Measure the resistance between the (G6) Engine Oil Pressure Signal circuit and the (K855) 5-Volt Supply circuit in the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short between the (K855) 5-Volt Supply circuit and the (G6) Engine Oil Pressure Signal circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  6
  6. ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR

    GC0149086Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
    1. Reconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
    2. Ignition on, engine not running.
    3. With the scan tool, monitor the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor voltage.
    4. Connect a jumper wire between the (G6) Engine Oil Pressure Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor Ground circuit in the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor harness connector.

      Is the voltage below 0.5 Volt with the jumper wire installed?

      Yes 

      • Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors. Replace the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor if no problems were found in the connectors. Refer to SENSOR, OIL PRESSURE, REMOVAL .
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  7
        NOTE:

        Remove the jumper wire before continuing.

  7. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) 
    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor 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 Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors.
    4. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
