Diagnostic Test

2009 Jeep Liberty Limited, RWDSECTION Diagnostic Test
  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE: Before proceeding with this diagnostic procedure, verify the Left and Right Multifunction Switch and Clockspring harness connectors are properly seated and verify proper pin terminal tension. A loose connection at any of these connectors may cause this DTC to set.
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

      • Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
  2. CHECK THE VOLTAGE OF (D506) LIN BUS CIRCUIT AT THE RIGHT STEERING WHEEL SWITCH

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Right Steering Wheel Switch harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage of the (D506) LIN Bus circuit at the Right Steering Wheel Switch harness connector.

      Is the voltage above 5.0 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. (D506) LIN BUS CIRCUIT OPEN BETWEEN THE RIGHT STEERING WHEEL SWITCH AND CLOCKSPRING

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Clockspring C8 harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (D506) LIN Bus circuit between the Right Steering Wheel Switch and Clockspring C8 harness connectors.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

  4. CHECK THE VOLTAGE OF (D506) LIN BUS CIRCUIT AT THE CLOCKSPRING

    1. Disconnect the Clockspring C2 harness connector.
    2. Turn the ignition on.
    3. Measure the voltage of the (D506) LIN Bus circuit at the Clockspring C2 harness connector.

      Is the voltage above 5.0 volts?

      Yes 

      No 

  5. CHECK THE VOLTAGE OF (A909) FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT AT THE RIGHT STEERING WHEEL SWITCH

    1. Measure the voltage of the (A909) Fused B(+) circuit at the Right Steering Wheel Switch harness connector.

      Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  8

      No 

      • Go to step  6
  6. (A909) FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT OPEN BETWEEN THE RIGHT STEERING WHEEL SWITCH AND CLOCKSPRING

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.
