NOTE:
For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION in appropriate TESTS W/CODES
article below. For appropriate wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS
section. Perform TEST VER-1 after each repair.
- TESTS W/CODES - 3.9L
- TESTS W/CODES - 5.2L GASOLINE
- TESTS W/CODES - 5.9L GASOLINECAUTION: Always turn ignition switch to OFF position before disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
- Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance between Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector terminals No. 26, CCD BUS positive circuit (Violet/Brown wire) and PCM terminal No. 7, 8-volt supply circuit (Orange wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short between CCD BUS positive circuit and 8-volt supply circuit. Perform TEST VER-1.
- If resistance is more than 5 ohms, check resistance between PCM connector terminals No. 46, CCD BUS negative circuit, and PCM terminal No. 7, 8-volt supply circuit (Orange wire).
- If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short between CCD BUS negative circuit and 8-volt supply circuit. Perform TEST VER-1. If resistance is more than 5 ohms, replace PCM. Perform TEST VER-1.
