DIAGNOSTIC TEST

WARNINGFollow these safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire and possible serious or fatal injury when performing this test procedure. Fuel or fuel vapors are highly flammable. A fire could occur if an ignition source is present. Do not expose the fuel or the test equipment used in this procedure to open flames or sparks. Inhalation of fuel vapors could lead to disorientation and personal injury. Keep the service area well ventilated, or perform this test procedure in an area where there is a building exhaust removal system. Relieve fuel system pressure before servicing fuel system components. Use extreme caution when connecting and disconnecting fuel lines. Considerable fuel leakage may occur when servicing the fuel system. Wear protective eyewear and clothing to protect from fuel splash, and take suitable fuel containment measures. Wrap a shop towel around the fuel pressure gauge connection to absorb fuel leakage that occurs when connecting the test equipment. Place the towel in an approved container when complete. Never store fuel in an open container due to the possibility of fire or explosion. Have a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher nearby.

  1. CHECKING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR LEAKS Turn the ignition off. Raise the vehicle in accordance with the Service Information. WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Never work around or attempt to service any part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Special care should be taken when working near the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises to a high level after a short period of engine operating time. Connect Exhaust Cone (special tool #8404-EC, Exhaust Cone)or (special tool #8404-ECT, Exhaust Cone, Truck) to Air Pressure Regulator (with hose) W-18-MIL-1146AS. CAUTION: The air pressure must not exceed 27.6 kPa (4 psi), otherwise engine damage can occur. Attach shop air to the air pressure regulator. Adjust the Air Pressure Regulator to 27.6 kPa (4 psi) Insert the exhaust cone into the vehicle tail pipe. If the vehicle is equipped with dual exhaust. Use the (special tool #8404-ECT, Exhaust Cone, Truck) with equipped attached plug, plug one side of the dual exhaust pipe. Pressurize the other as described above. Apply Mopar® Air Leak Detector PN 05191804AA (or an equivalent leak finder liquid) to the following areas: All welded joints from the exhaust manifold to 45.72 cm (18 inches) behind the downstream O2 sensor O2 sensor seal points O2 sensor boss welds Flange/joint connection(s) Exhaust manifold to cylinder head connection(s) EGR solenoid gasket base and tube seal points (if equipped) Watch for the Mopar® Air Leak Detector PN 05191804AA (or the equivalent leak finder liquid) to bubble. Use the following definitions to help determine if system or component repair/replacement is necessary: Type 1 Leak is defined as a leak where very small foam like bubbles 1 mm (0.04 of an inch) or less appear. Any Type 1 or greater leaks found in welded joints, O2 sensor seal points or O2 sensor boss welds must be repaired or the component must be replaced. Type 2 Leak is defined as a leak where larger bubbles pea size, 8 mm (0.3 of an inch) or greater appear. Any Type 2 or greater leaks found in flange or joint connections, exhaust manifold to cylinder head connections, or EGR gasket and tube seal points must be repaired or the components must be replaced. Leak Location Repair required if results at 27.6 kPa (4 psi) reveal bubble size: Welded joints Type 1, 1 mm (0.04 of an inch) or greater O2 Sensor seal points Type 1, 1 mm (0.04 of an inch) or greater O2 Sensor boss welds Type 1, 1 mm (0.04 of an inch) or greater Flange / joint connections Type 2, 8 mm (0.3 of an inch) or greater Exhaust Manifold to cylinder head connections Type 2, 8 mm (0.3 of an inch) or greater EGR gasket and tube seal points Type 2, 8 mm (0.3 of an inch) or greater If a leak is found that matches the above definition, repair or replace the component as necessary. Once the repair is complete, repeat the procedure to verify that all leaks have been repaired. Were any exhaust leaks found? Yes Repair or replace the leaking exhaust parts as necessary. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - NGC»(/jeep/grand-cherokee/wk2-2010-2013/remont/testing-diagnostics/#36l-57l-intermittent-condition-pcmecm-reprogramming-gas-powertrain-verification-test-pre-diagnostic-troubleshooting-proc) .

CHECKING EXHAUST RESTRICTION

Exhaust system restriction can be checked by measuring back pressure.

WARNINGThe normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Therefore, never work around or attempt to service any part of the exhaust system until it is cooled. Special care should be taken when working near the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises to a high level after a short period of engine operation time.
  1. Disconnect and remove the upstream (before catalytic converter) oxygen sensor. Refer to «SENSOR, OXYGEN , REMOVAL»(/jeep/grand-cherokee/wk2-2010-2013/remont/fuel-system/#fuel-system) and «SENSOR, OXYGEN , REMOVAL»(/jeep/grand-cherokee/wk2-2010-2013/remont/fuel-system/#fuel-system) .

ETC INTERMITTENT NO CRANK CONDITION

For a complete wiring diagram refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article .

Possible Causes
ETC STARTER INHIBIT
  1. ETC STARTER INHIBIT NOTE: This ETC equipped engine will try to relearn ETC position when the key is left in the on position for an extended period of time and will not allow the starter to crank during this procedure.
