Diagnostic Test

2009 Jeep Liberty Limited, RWDSECTION Diagnostic Test
  1. CHECK FOR DELAMINATION ON THE WINDSHIELD 
    1. Check the contact surface of the Rain Sensing Module to the windshield for delamination (this will resemble air bubbles in the contact area). Refer to: Wipers, Front, False Wipes. Refer to Electrical/Wipers/Washers - Diagnosis and Testing .

      Is delamination present on the windshield?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  2
  2. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, erase the DTCs.
    3. Cycle the ignition from on to off three times.
    4. Turn the ignition on and wait one minute.
    5. With the scan tool, read the DTCs.
      NOTE: If the D508 LIN Bus circuit is shorted to Ground or Battery voltage, this code will appear as Stored and when erased will return as Stored.

      Does the scan tool display: B2211-RAIN SENSOR MODULE INITIALIZATION PERFORMANCE either Active or Stored?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Rain Sensor harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (D508) LIN Bus circuit in the rain sensor connector.

      Is the resistance below 20,000 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. (D508) LIN BUS CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Measure the voltage between the (D508) LIN Bus circuit and ground.
      NOTE: The voltage should fluctuate between approximately 7.0 and 9.8 volts.

      Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

  5. (D508) LIN BUS WIRE SHORTED TO GROUND

    1. Disconnect the Wireless Control Module (WCM) harness connector.
    2. Measure the resistance between ground and the (D508) LIN Bus circuit in the rain sensor connector.

      Is the resistance below 20,000 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

  6. (D508) LIN BUS WIRE SHORTED TO BATTERY

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Wireless Control Module (WCM) harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage between the (D508) LIN Bus circuit and ground.

      Is there any voltage present?

      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.
