2014 Jeep Wrangler JK Factory Service Manual 29 - Non-DTC Diagnostics

NO RESPONSE FROM TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE)

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.






Possible Causes

(Z916) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
(T16) TRANSMISSION CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED
(D65) CAN C BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN
(D64) CAN C BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN
TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM)

1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION




NOTE: Check for any TSB(s) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.
1. Turn the ignition on.

NOTE: Make sure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
2. With the scan tool, read the module status.

NOTE: Check the TIPM for any active CAN hardware DTCs, perform DTC before proceeding.


Does the scan tool indicate that the module is active on the bus?

Yes


No


2. CHECK THE (T16) TRANSMISSION CONTROL OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT



1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the TCM C1 harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (T16) Transmission Control Output circuit.


Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No


3. CHECK THE (Z916) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN



1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z916) Ground circuit.


Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No


4. CHECK THE (D64) AND (D65) CAN C BUS CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN



1. Disconnect the TIPM C1 harness connector.
2. Disconnect the TCM C2 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance of the (D64) CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the TIPM C1 harness connector and the TCM C2 harness connector.
4. Measure the resistance of the (D65) CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the TIPM C1 harness connector and the TCM C2 harness connector.


Are the resistances below 5.0 Ohms?

Yes


No
