Diagnostic Test
- 1) TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, record and erase BCM DTC's.
Cycle the ignition from on to off 3 times.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, read active BCM DTC's.
Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
Yes
- Go To 2).
No
- The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
- 2) MEASURE VOLTAGE AT BCM
Gain access to the Body Control Module C6 harness connector, but do not disconnect.
Backprobe and measure the voltage on both the CAN B Bus (+) and the CAN B (-) circuits.
Does the voltage read approximately 4.65 - 4.98 volts on the CAN B Bus (-) and 0.39 - 0.46 volts on the CAN B (+) circuits?
Yes
- Go To 3).
No - Voltage Between 0.3 - 0.7 Volts on Both Circuits
- Go To 9).
No - Voltage Reads 0 Volts on Either Circuit
- Go To 7).
No - Voltage Above 10 Volts on Either Circuit
- Go To 5).
- 3) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool select ECU View.
Using a fused jumper wire, connect one end to ground and with the other end backprobe the CAN B Bus (+) circuit at the BCM C6 harness connector.
NOTE: A red "X" will appear next to modules that can no longer communicate on the Bus.Did a red "X" appear next to any modules on the scan tool?
Yes
- Using the Wiring Diagrams to further isolate the open in the circuit, repair the CAN B Bus (+) circuit for an open.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
- Go To 4).
- 4) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN
With the scan tool select ECU View.
Using a fused jumper wire, connect one end to ground and with the other end backprobe the CAN B Bus (-) circuit at the BCM C6 harness connector.
NOTE: A red "X" will appear next to modules that can no longer communicate on the Bus.Did a red "X" appear next to any modules on the scan tool?
Yes
- Using the Wiring Diagrams to further isolate the open in the circuit, repair the CAN B Bus (-) circuit for an open.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
- Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage. If ok, replace and program the Front Control Module in accordance with the service information.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
- 5) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Body Control Module C6 harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage between the CAN B Bus (+) circuit and ground.
Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?
Yes
- Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the voltage to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the service information, that when disconnected eliminates the short to voltage. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
- Go To 6).
- 6) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
Measure the voltage between the CAN B Bus (-) circuit and ground.
Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?
Yes
- Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the voltage to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the service information, that when disconnected eliminates the short to voltage. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the CAN B Bus (-) circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
- Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage. If ok, replace and program the Body Control Module in accordance with the service information.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
- 7) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND

Turn the ignition off.
Measure the resistance between ground and the CAN B Bus (+) circuit.
Is the resistance above 1000.0 ohms?
Yes
- Go To 8).
No
- Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the resistance to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the service information, that when disconnected eliminates the short to ground. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
- 8) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
Measure the resistance between ground and the CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
Is the resistance above 1000.0 ohms?
Yes
- Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage. If ok, replace and program the Body Control Module in accordance with the service information.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
- Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the resistance to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the service information, that when disconnected eliminates the short to ground. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the CAN B Bus (-) circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
- 9) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT SHORTED T O THE (D54) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT
Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
Measure the resistance between the CAN B Bus (+) circuit and CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
Is any resistance present?
Yes
- Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the resistance to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the service information, that when disconnected eliminates the short between the two circuits. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to the CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
