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.

TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
NOTE:
Check for any TSB(s) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.
1. Turn the ignition on.
  NOTE:
  Make sure the battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
2. With the scan tool, read the module status.
  NOTE:
  Check the BCM for any active CAN hardware DTCs, perform DTC before proceeding.
  
  Does the scan tool indicate that the module is active on the bus?
  
  Yes
  - The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To Step 2
CHECK THE (A929) FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Steering Control Module C1 harness connector.
3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A929) Fused B(+) circuit.
  Does the test light illuminate brightly?
  
  Yes
  - Go To Step 3
  No
  - Repair the open or short in the (A929) Fused B(+) circuit.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
CHECK THE (Z912) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
1. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts check the (Z912) Ground circuit.
  Does the test light illuminate brightly?
  
  Yes
  - Go To Step 4
  No
  - Repair the open in the (Z912) Ground circuit.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
CHECK THE (D97) AND (D98) CAN C BUS CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the CAN C IP Star Connector C3 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (D97) CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the CAN C IP Star Connector C7 harness connector and the Steering Control Module C1 harness connector.
4. Measure the resistance of the (D98) CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the CAN C IP Star Connector C7 harness connector and the Steering Control Module C1 harness connector.
  Are the resistances below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Steering Control Module which is integral to the Clockspring in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to CLOCKSPRING, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Repair the open in the (D97) CAN C Bus (+) or (D98) CAN C Bus (-) circuit.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
