- Measure the resistance between ground and the Ground circuit at the AGS harness connector.
- CHECK THE (D511) LIN BUS CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (D511) LIN BUS circuit at the AGS harness connector.
Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Repair the (D511) LIN BUS circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK THE (D511) LIN BUS CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- Measure the resistance of the (D511) LIN BUS circuit between the AGS harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 7
No
- Repair the (D511) LIN BUS circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the resistance of the (D511) LIN BUS circuit between the AGS harness connector and the PCM C1 harness connector.
- CHECK THE ACTIVE GRILL SHUTTER ASSEMBLY FOR PROPER OPERATION
- Replace the Active Grill Shutter Assembly in accordance with the service information. Navigate to Miscellaneous functions and perform the 'Active Grille Shutter Replaced' procedure.
- Reconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- With the scan tool, actuate the AGS Assembly.
- With the scan tool, view DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 8
No
- Repair complete.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- 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.
- Connect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Connect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Connect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Repair the poor connections.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
