Diagnostic Test

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.

CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
  Is the DTC active or pending?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION . .
CHECK THE (G6) EOP SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the EOP Sensor harness connector.
3. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
4. Check for continuity between ground and the (G6) EOP Signal circuit at the EOP Sensor harness connector.
  Is there continuity between ground and the (G6) EOP Signal circuit?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (G6) EOP Signal circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST . .
  No
  - Go To 3
CHECK FOR THE (G6) EOP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Check for continuity between the (G6) EOP Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor Ground circuit at the EOP Sensor harness connector.
  Is there continuity between the (G6) EOP Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor Ground circuit?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short between the (G6) EOP Signal circuit and the (K900) Sensor Ground circuit.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST . .
  No
  - Go To 4
CHECK THE (G6) EOP SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
CAUTION:
Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.
1. Connect the (special tool #10436, Adapter, GPEC Diagnostic).
2. Measure the resistance of the (G6) EOP Signal circuit between the EOP Sensor harness connector and the GPEC Adaptor.
  Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 5
  No
  - Repair the (G6) EOP Signal circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST . .
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR
1. Reconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
2. Connect a jumper between the (G6) EOP Signal circuit and the (F855) 5-Volt Supply circuit at the EOP Sensor harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
  NOTE:
  The P0523-ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT HIGH DTC should be active or pending with the jumper in place.
  
  Does the scan tool display as described above?
  
  Yes
  - Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact at the sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors. Replace the Engine Oil Pressure Sensor if no problems were found in the connector.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST . .
  No
  - Go To 6
CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
1. Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
2. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
3. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
4. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
5. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
  - Proper connector installation.
  - Damaged connector locks.
  - Corrosion.
  - Other signs of water intrusion.
  - Weather seal damage (if equipped).
  - Bent terminals.
  - Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
  - Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
  - Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
6. Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
9. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
10. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
11. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST . .
  No
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST . .
  - Test complete.
