Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. TEST FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION 
    1. With the scan tool, record and erase the WCM DTCs.
    2. Cycle the ignition switch from on to off three times then back to on.
    3. Start the engine and run for two minutes.
    4. With the scan tool, read the active WCM DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display: U0231-LOST COMMUNICATION WITH RAIN SENSING MODULE as active?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. (F306) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT OPEN

    NOTE: Be sure the battery is fully charged before proceeding.
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Rain Sensor harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage between the (F306) Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit and ground in the Rain Sensor harness connector.

      Is the voltage above 12.0 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No 

  3. (Z908) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Using the a 12 volt test light connected to 12 volts, check the (Z919/Z920) Ground circuit.
      NOTE: The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

  4. CHECK THE VOLTAGE OF THE (D508) LlN BUS CIRCUIT

    1. Measure the voltage between the (D508) LIN Bus circuit and ground in the Rain Sensor connector.

      Is the voltage above 7.0 volts?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. (D508) LlN BUS CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Wireless Control Module (WCM) harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (D508) LIN Bus circuit between the WCM harness connector and the Rain Sensor harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 2.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No
