Diagnostic Test

  1. 1) CHECK FOR ANY POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULES DTCS NOTE: Make sure the Battery is in good condition. Using the Midtronics Battery Tester, test the Battery before continuing. NOTE: Inspect the vehicle for after market accessories that may exceed the Generator System output. NOTE: Make sure the generator drive belt is in good operating condition. NOTE: Inspect the fuses in the TIPM. If an open fuse is found, use the wire diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors for damage. Turn the ignition on. With the scan tool, read active PCM DTC's. Does the scan tool display any active PCM DTC's? Yes Refer to «DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING»(ref-306142-S05578449372008120900000) - 3.7L. Refer to «DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING»(ref-306143-S21328972802008120900000) - 4.0L. for the diagnostic test procedure. No Check the above conditions that can cause a low voltage condition. Repair as necessary. Perform «BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1»(ref-306151-S09725333202008120900000) .

Repair as necessary. Perform «BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1»(ref-306151-S09725333202008120900000) .
  1. 1) CHECK FOR ACTIVE DTC With the scan tool, record and erase DTC's. Cycle the ignition switch from off to on, leaving the ignition off for a minimum of 30 seconds. With the scan tool, read the active DTC's. Does the scan tool display this DTC as active? Yes Go To 2) . No If the DTC is stored, check for an intermittent condition. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
  2. 2) IOD FUSE INSTALLED Verify IOD Fuse installed in TIPM Is IOD Fuse present? Yes Go To 3) . No Install the IOD Fuse. Perform «BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1»(ref-306151-S09725333202008120900000) .
  3. 3) IOD FUSE BLOWN CHECK Is IOD Fuse blown? Yes Replace the IOD Fuse. Perform «BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1»(ref-306151-S09725333202008120900000) . No Test complete.

Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
  2. 2) INSPECT THE TIPM, PCM, AND SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY (NAG1) TERMINALS & WIRE HARNESS FOR A CONDITION CAUSING HIGH CIRCUIT RESISTANCE Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the TIPM C1 harness connector. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector. Disconnect the Shift Lever Assembly (NAG1) harness connector Inspect the connector terminals for signs of corrosion build up and damage. Visually inspect the wiring harness for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires hidden in the wire insulation. Were any of the above conditions found? Yes Repair as necessary. Perform «BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1»(ref-306151-S09725333202008120900000) . No Replace the TIPM in accordance with the service information Perform «BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1»(ref-306151-S09725333202008120900000) .
