WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Jeep Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC NOTE:
Check for any TSB(s) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.
- Turn the ignition on.NOTE:
Make sure the battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
- 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 BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 2
- Turn the ignition on.
- CHECK THE (F945) IGNITION RUN/START CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT NOTE:
Check the BCM for any ignition related DTCs before proceeding. If set. Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX .
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F945) Ignition Run/Start Control Output circuit.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Repair the open or short in the (F945) Ignition Run/Start Control Output circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F945) Ignition Run/Start Control Output circuit.
- CHECK THE (Z916) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Disconnect the OCM harness connector.
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z916) Ground circuit.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Repair the open in the (Z916) Ground circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK THE (D13) AND (D14) CAN C BUS CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the CAN C Body C9 Star Connector harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the (D13) CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the CAN C Body C10 Star Connector harness connector and the OCM harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the (D14) CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the CAN C Body C9 Star Connector harness connector and the OCM harness connector.
Are the resistances below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Replace the OCM in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION, REMOVAL . Perform the re-zero OCM procedure when the OCM is replaced. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- Perform the OCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION MODULE (OCM) VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Repair the open in the (D13) CAN C Bus (+) or (D14) CAN C Bus (-) circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
