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 and any DTCs.
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 AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
CHECK THE HOOD AJAR SWITCH FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Hood Ajar Switch harness connector.
3. Depress the plunger of the Hood Ajar Switch and measure the resistance between the two terminals of the switch.
  Is the resistance approximately 1K Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Replace the Hood Ajar Switch in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to SWITCH, HOOD AJAR, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
CHECK THE (Z906) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Measure the resistance of the (Z906) Ground circuit between ground and the Hood Ajar Switch harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the open or high resistance in the (Z906) Ground circuit.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 4
CHECK THE (G70) HOOD AJAR SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
1. Disconnect the BCM C4/D harness connector.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Measure the voltage on the (G70) Hood Ajar Switch Sense circuit at the Hood Ajar Switch harness connector.
  Is the voltage present?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short to voltage on the (G70) Hood Ajar Switch Sense circuit.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 5
CHECK THE (G70) HOOD AJAR SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Measure the resistance of the (G70) Hood Ajar Switch Sense circuit between the Hood Ajar Switch harness connector and BCM C4/D harness connector terminal 8.
  Is the resistance above 3.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the open or high resistance in the (G70) Hood Ajar Switch Sense circuit.
  - 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. Connect all BCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
6. Connect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Connect 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.
