WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Jeep Patriot and 2012 Jeep Compass. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
NOTE:
Check for any TSB(s) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.
1. Turn the ignition on.
  NOTE:
  Make sure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
2. 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 TIPM 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 2.
  No
  - The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic 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.
CHECK PCM POWER AND GROUND
1. Check the PCM power and ground circuits.
  Were any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 2.0L & 2.4L - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 3.
(D65) CAN C BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the TIPM C3 harness connector.
3. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
4. Measure the resistance of the (D65) CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the TIPM connector and the PCM C2 connector.
  Is resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4.
  No
  - Repair the (D65) CAN C Bus (+) circuit for an open.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 2.0L & 2.4L - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
(D64) CAN C BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN
1. Measure the resistance of the (D64) CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the TIPM connector and the PCM C2 connector.
  Is resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 2.0L & 2.4L - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Repair the (D64) CAN C Bus (-) circuit for an open.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 2.0L & 2.4L - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
