WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Dodge Journey and 2015 Dodge Journey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

ACTIVE DTC
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
  Is the DTC Active at this time?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION . .

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the EVP Relay from the relay connector harness.
3. Ignition on, engine not running.
4. Using a 12-Volt test light connected to ground, probe the Fused RUN/START circuit (terminal 85) in the EVP Relay harness connector.
  Does the test light illuminate brightly?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Repair the open Fused RUN/START circuit.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST . .
EVP RELAY
1. Measure the resistance of the EVP Relay Coil.
  NOTE:
  Measure across terminals 85 and 86 of the relay.
  
  Is the resistance between 60 to 80 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the EVP Relay and Powertrain Control Module connectors. If OK, replace the EVP Relay.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST . .
(T110) EVP RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN

1. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
2. Measure the resistance of the (T110) EVP relay control circuit from the EVP Relay socket to the PCM C1 harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 5
  No
  - Repair the open in the (T110) EVP relay control circuit.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST . .
(T110) EVP RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC
1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (T110) EVP Relay control circuit at the EVP Relay socket.
  Is the resistance below 100 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short to ground in the (T110) EVP relay control circuit.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST . .
  No
  - Go To 6
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Engine Hood Switchand 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.
4. Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
5. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
6. 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 . .
  No
  - Replace 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 . .
