Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the IPM C2 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (L63) Left Rear Turn Signal Control circuit between the Left Tail Stop/Turn Tail Lamp harness connector and the IPM C2 harness connector.
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the open in the (L63) Left Rear Turn Signal Control circuit.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 7
CHECK (L63) LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN IN THE IPM
1. Measure the resistance of the (L63) Left Rear Turn Signal Control circuit between the IPM 49-way connector and IPM C2 component connector (at IPM).
  Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes

• 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.
