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.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury. Turn ignition off. Disconnect the Starter Solenoid harness connector. NOTE: The Stater Solenoid harness connector must remain disconnected at this time. Have an assistant turn the ignition key to the CRANK position. Using a 12-volt test light connected ground, probe the (T750) Stater Relay Output circuit in the Starter Solenoid harness connector while the ignition key is in the CRANK position. Does the test light illuminate brightly? Yes Replace the Starter in accordance with the service information. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457896-S03919949562012030200000) . No Go To 7 .
7. (T752) STARTER OVERRIDE CIRCUIT CHECK NOTE: Inspect fuses related to the Starter. Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the TIPM C2 harness connector. Disconnect the PCM C3 harness connector. CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the PCM Pinout Box (special tool #8815A, Kit, NGC, 38 Position) to perform diagnosis. Check the T752 Starter Relay Control circuit for and open or short to ground. Were any problems found in the T752 Startrer Overidel circuit between the TIPM and PCM? Yes Repair as necessary. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457896-S03919949562012030200000) . No Go To 8 .
8. (T750) STARTER CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN Disconnect the Starter Solenoid connector. Measure the resistance of the (T750) Starter Control Output circuit between the Starter Solenoid harness connector and the TIPM C2 harness connector. Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms? Yes Go To 9 . No Repair the open in the (T750) Starter Control Output circuit. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457896-S03919949562012030200000) .
9. (T750) STARTER CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND Measure the resistance between ground and the (T750) Starter Control Output circuit in the Starter Solenoid harness connector. Is the resistance below 100 Ohms? Yes Repair the short to ground in the (T750) Starter Control Output circuit. Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457896-S03919949562012030200000) . No Go To 10 .
10. TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NOTE: Before continuing, check the TIPM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits. Were any problems found? Yes Repair as necessary. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «BODY VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457926-S40044966262012030200000) . No Replace the Totally Integrated Power Module in accordance with the Service Information. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «BODY VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-457926-S40044966262012030200000) .
