Diagnostic Test

2009 Jeep Liberty Limited, 4WD, AutomaticSECTION Diagnostic Test
  1. INTERMITTENT DTC 
    1. With the scan tool, erase the current Intrusion Transceiver Module DTCs.
    2. Turn the ignition off.
    3. Arm the VTSS and wait 1 minute.
    4. Disarm the VTSS and turn the ignition on.

      Does the scan tool display the same DTC?

      Yes 

      • Go To step  2

      No 

  2. (A100) FUSED B+ OPEN

    1. Gain access to the VTSS Siren.
    2. Disconnect the Siren connector.
    3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A100) Fused B(+) circuit in the Siren connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go To step  3

      No 

  3. (Z908) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z908) Ground circuit at the siren connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go To step  4

      No 

  4. FAULTY SIREN

    1. Use the DRBIII® and set up as follows:
      • Use the Scope input cable CH7058, Cable to Probe adapter CH7062, and the red and black test probes.
      • Connect the scope input cable to the channel one connector on the DRBIII®. Attach the red and black leads and the cable to probe adapter to the scope input cable.
      • Select DRBIII® Stand-alone.
      • Select lab scope.
      • Select Live.
      • Select 12 volt square wave.
      • Press F2 for Scope.
      • Press F2 and use the down arrow to set voltage range to 20 volts. Press F2 again when complete.
    2. Disconnect the Siren connector.
    3. Connect the black lead to the chassis ground. Connect the red lead to the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit in the Siren connector.
    4. Close all doors and arm the VTSS.
    5. Observe the voltage displayed on the DRBIII® Lab Scope.

      Is there a voltage square wave present 1 to 2 seconds?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. (D96) SIREN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY

    1. Disconnect the Siren harness connector.
    2. Measure the voltage of the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To step  6
  6. (D96) SIREN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND

    1. Disconnect the Siren harness connector.
    2. Disconnect the Intrusion Transceiver Module harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit.

      Is the resistance above 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To step  7

      No 

  7. (D96) SIREN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN 
    Fig 6: CHECKING SIREN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN

    1. Disconnect the Intrusion Transceiver Module harness connector.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit between the Intrusion Transceiver Module and the Siren connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      No

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
