Diagnostic Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Dodge Sprinter. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
- Turn the ignition on.NOTE: Ensure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
- With the scan tool, select ECU view.NOTE: A red X will be next to the module that is not communicating, indicating that the module is not active on the Bus network. A green check indicates that the module is active on the Bus network.NOTE: Check the FCM for any active CAN C hardware and any ignition related DTCs, perform DTCs before proceeding.
Does the scan tool display a red X next to the module?
Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS as a guide, inspect the wiring for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.
- Turn the ignition on.
- CHECK ECM POWER AND GROUND
- Using the wiring diagrams as a guide check the ECM power and ground circuits.
Were any problems found?
Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform the ECM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Engine Control (ECM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 3
- Using the wiring diagrams as a guide check the ECM power and ground circuits.
- CAN C BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Ignition Switch C4 harness connector.
- Disconnect the ECM C2 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the Ignition Switch connector and the ECM connector.
Is resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Go to step 4
No
- Repair the CAN C Bus (+) circuit for an open.
- Perform the ECM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Engine Control (ECM) - Standard Procedure .
- CAN C BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN
- Measure the resistance of the CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the Ignition Switch connector and the ECM connector.
Is resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Replace and program the Engine Control Module in accordance with the service information.
- Perform the ECM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Engine Control (ECM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Repair the CAN C Bus (-) circuit for an open.
- Perform the ECM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Engine Control (ECM) - Standard Procedure .
- Measure the resistance of the CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the Ignition Switch connector and the ECM connector.
