Diagnostic Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L and 2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- READ AND RECORD DTCS AND ENVIRONMENTAL DATA - ERASE DTCS AND CHECK FOR THE DTC TO RETURN
- With the scan tool, read DTCs in all Electronic Control Units (ECUs) and record on the repair order.
- For future reference, with the scan tool, run and save a vehicle Scan Report and all related recorded data.
- With the scan tool, erase all DTCs.
- Turn the ignition off for a minimum of 10.0 seconds.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using the When Monitored and Set Conditions above and recorded data, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- CHECK FUSE F13 (40A) AND F85 (10A) IN THE POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER
- Check Fuse F13 and F85 in the Power Distribution Center for continuity.
Is the Fuse open?
Yes
- Replace the open fuse and check the related wiring harnesses for any conditions that could cause the open fuse.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 3
- Check Fuse F13 and F85 in the Power Distribution Center for continuity.
- ISOLATE AND CHECK THE STARTER RELAY (T760) OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
- The ignition must be off when checking the continuity of a circuit.
- Isolate the circuit by disconnecting the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the component harness connector containing the circuit being tested. Note: Use the wiring diagram as a guide to follow the path of the circuit.
- Before measuring the resistance of any circuit, first measure the resistance between the two leads of the DVOM. Note: The meter leads can add resistance to the measurement value.
- Connect one lead of the DVOM to the circuit being tested at the component harness connector.
- Connect the other lead to the circuit being tested at the PCM connector and measure the resistance of the circuit.
Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Repair the circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK THE STARTER RELAY AND PDC FOR PROPER OPERATION
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, back probe the Starter Relay (K88) Control circuit at the PDC C1 connector.NOTE:
The relay should make an audible click when closing.
- Check for voltage on the PCR Control Relay (T762) Output circuit at the PDC C1 connector to determine if the relay is closing if a click is not heard.
Does the Starter Relay close when the control circuit is connected to ground?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Replace the PDC in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, back probe the Starter Relay (K88) Control circuit at the PDC C1 connector.
- CHECK THE PCR CONTROL RELAY AND PDC FOR PROPER OPERATION NOTE:
The Starter Relay (K88) Control will need to be back probed for voltage to be present when performing this test.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, back probe the PCR Control Relay (T762) Control circuit at the PDC C1 connector.NOTE:
The relay should make an audible click when closing.
- Check for voltage on the Starter Relay (T760) Output circuit at the PDC C1 connector to determine if the relay is closing if a click is not heard.
Does the Starter Relay close when the control circuit is connected to ground?
Yes
- Go To 6
No
- Replace the PDC in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, back probe the PCR Control Relay (T762) Control circuit at the PDC C1 connector.
- CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
- Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
- 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.
- Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect 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. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL (PCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- The wiring or poor connection problem has been repaired.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
