Diagnostic Test
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 ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)
- With the scan tool, record and erase the DTCs.
- Turn the ignition off and wait one minute.
- Cycle the ignition from on to off three times then to on.
- Road test the vehicle over 10 mph (16 km/h) and shift gears several times.
- With the scan tool, read the RF Hub active DTCs.
Does the scan tool display: U1454-00-IMPLAUSIBLE DATA RECEIVED FROM THE GATED PARK SWITCH as active?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals and correct pin tension.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK (T404) TRANSMISSION (TRS) PARK SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
-
NOTE:
Using the mini schematic at the beginning of this test, identify the type of appropriate shifter component the vehicle has before proceeding.
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the appropriate component harness connector.
- Turn all lights off and close all doors.
- Wait 90 seconds to allow the modules to go to sleep.
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (T404) TRS Park Signal circuit in the appropriate component harness connector.NOTE:
As long as the module is asleep the resistance should be approximately 200K Ohms.
Is the resistance below 100K Ohms?
Yes
- Repair the short to ground in the (T404) TRS Park Signal circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 3
-
- CHECK (T404) TRANSMISSION (TRS) PARK SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- CHECK (Z924) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, test the (Z924) Ground circuit in the appropriate component harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Repair the open in the (Z924) Ground circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK (T404) TRANSMISSION (TRS) PARK SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN CIRCUIT
- Measure the voltage between ground and the (T404) TRS Park Signal circuit in the appropriate component harness connector.
Is the voltage above 12.0 volts?
Yes
- Replace the appropriate component in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 6
- Measure the voltage between ground and the (T404) TRS Park Signal circuit in the appropriate component harness connector.
- CHECK (T404) TRANSMISSION (TRS) PARK SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN WIRE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Radio Frequency Hub C1 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the (T404) TRS Park Signal circuit between the appropriate component harness connector and the RF Hub C1 connector.
Is the resistance below 2.0 ohms?
Yes
- Replace the Radio Frequency Hub module in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, RADIO FREQUENCY (RF HUB), REMOVAL .
- Perform the RADIO FREQUENCY HUB VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RADIO FREQUENCY HUB (RF HUB) VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Repair the open in the (T404) TRS Park Signal circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK (T404) TRANSMISSION (TRS) PARK SIGNAL WIRE FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Radio Frequency Hub C1 harness connector.
- Open the driver door and turn the park lamps on.
- Try to turn the ignition on.
- Measure the voltage between ground and the (T404) TRS Park Signal circuit in the appropriate component harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
- Repair the (T404) TRS Park Signal circuit for a short to voltage
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Replace the Radio Frequency Hub module in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, RADIO FREQUENCY (RF HUB), REMOVAL .
- Perform the RADIO FREQUENCY HUB VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RADIO FREQUENCY HUB (RF HUB) VERIFICATION TEST .
