Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jeep Renegade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
1. With the scan tool, read Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs and record on the repair order.
2. Record the Environmental Data.
3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
4. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
5. With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Perform the TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
CHECK THE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
NOTE:
The Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) Sensor is integral to the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror.
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror harness connector.
3. Connect a jumper wire between the (G31) AAT Sensor Signal circuit and the (G931) Sensor Ground at the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display DTC: B107B-11-EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR-CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND?
  
  Yes
  - Verify there is good pin to terminal contact at the Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) Sensor and BCM harness connectors. If no problems were found with the connectors, replace the Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) Sensor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MIRROR, OUTSIDE REARVIEW, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 3
CHECK THE (G31) AAT SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the BCM C6 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (G31) AAT Sensor Signal circuit between the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror harness connector and the BCM C6 harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Repair the open in the (G31) AAT Sensor Signal circuit.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE (G931) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
1. Measure the resistance of the (G931) Sensor Ground circuit between the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror harness connector and the BCM C6 harness connector.
  Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 5
  No
  - Repair the open in the (G931) Sensor Ground circuit.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)
1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror and the BCM.
2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
4. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Passenger Outside Rearview Mirror and BCM connectors.
5. Monitor the scan tool data relative to this circuit and wiggle test the wiring and connectors.
6. Look for the data to change or for the DTC to reset during the wiggle test.
7. Perform any Technical Service Bulletins (TSB)s that may apply.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 6
CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
1. Disconnect all BCM harness connectors.
2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
4. 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.
  - Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
5. Reconnect all BCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
9. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
10. With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Body Control Module (BCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, BODY CONTROL (BCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  - Test complete.
