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.
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 wiring diagram/schematic 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. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Integrated Power Module C1 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (F1) Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit in the IPM C1 connector.

   Is the resistance below 1000.0 ohms?

   No 

   • Go to step  5

   Yes 

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