Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    WARNING:

    On vehicles equipped with the high voltage system, you must thoroughly read and follow all High Voltage Safety procedures. In addition, before performing any diagnostic or service procedure near a high voltage component, you must perform the High Voltage Power Down. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

    Read the HIGH-VOLTAGE SAFETY PROCEDURES. Refer to  HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY PROCEDURES  . 

    When the HIGH-VOLTAGE POWER-DOWN PROCEDURE is necessary. Refer to  HIGH VOLTAGE POWER DOWN  . 

    1. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
    2. Record the Environmental Data.
      NOTE:

      The Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Charging Unit must be unplugged from the vehicle to erase this DTC. 

    3. Make sure the EVSE Charging Unit is not plugged into the Vehicle.
    4. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    5. Plug the EVSE Charging Unit into the Vehicle.
    6. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    7. With the scan tool, read Integrated Dual Charge Module (IDCM) DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK THE EVSE FOR PROPER CHARGING CAPABILITY 
    1. Connect the customer's EVSE Charging Unit to the vehicle. Using a Scan Tool, Monitor the AC output.

      Is the EVSE Charging Unit operating correctly?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE EVSE CHARGING UNIT FOR PROPER OPERATION 
    1. Refer to the EVSE User service information and follow the troubleshooting guide to determine if the problem is with the EVSE Charging Unit or the vehicle.
    2. Using a Scan Tool, Monitor the AC output.

      Is the EVSE Charging Unit operating correctly?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

  4. CHECK THE (H329) CHARGING PORT CONTROL PILOT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    NOTE:

    If connected, unplug the EVSE Charging Unit from the vehicle. 

    1. Turn Ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the IDCM C4 harness connector.
    3. Check for continuity to ground on the (H329) Charging Port Control Pilot Signal circuit between the IDCM C4 harness connector and the Charge Port Inlet connector.

      Is continuity to ground present?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. CHECK THE (H329) CHARGING PORT CONTROL PILOT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn Ignition on.
    2. Check for voltage on the (H329) Charging Port Control Pilot Signal circuit between the IDCM C4 harness connector and the Charge Port Inlet connector.

      Is voltage present?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  6
  6. CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS 
    1. Disconnect all IDCM harness connectors, related to this DTC.
    2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections, related to this DTC (if equipped).
    3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors, related to this DTC.
    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 IDCM 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 IDCM DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes
