Diagnostic Test

1. With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.
2. Cycle the ignition switch from off to on, leaving the ignition on for a minimum of 10 seconds then turn the ignition off.
3. With the scan tool, read the active DTCs.

   Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

   Yes 

   • Go to step  2

   No 

   • If the DTC is stored, check for an intermittent condition. Using the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS as a guide, visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
   • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .

Is this vehicle equipped with a 3.7L or 6.1L engine?

Yes 

• Go to step  3

No 

• Go to step  6

1. Disconnect the Shift Lever Assembly harness connector.
2. Cycle the ignition switch from off to on then back to off.
   NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the off position when performing the following step.
3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F1) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run Start) circuit.

   Does the test light illuminate brightly?

   Yes 

   • Repair the (F1) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run Start) circuit for a short to voltage.
   • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .

   No 

   • Go to step  4

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the test light still connected from the previous step, check the (F1) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run Start) circuit.

   Does the test light illuminate brightly?

   Yes 

   • Replace the Shift Lever Assembly in accordance with the Service Information.
   • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .

   No 

   • Go to step  5

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the FCM from the Integrated Power Module.
3. Measure the resistance of the (F1) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run Start) circuit between the Shift Lever Assembly and the FCM-IPM connector.

   Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

   Yes 

   • Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or shorted circuits. If ok, replace and program the Front Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.
   • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .

   No 

   • Repair the (F1) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run Start) circuit for an open.
   • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .

1. Disconnect the Powertrain Control Module C1 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 PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.
2. Cycle the ignition switch from off to on then back to off.
   NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the off position when performing the following step.
3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F1) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run Start) circuit.

   Does the test light illuminate brightly?

   Yes 

   • Repair the (F1) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run Start) circuit for a short to voltage.
   • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .

   No 

   • Go to step  7
