Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

      Yes 

      • Go To  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.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  2. (A414) FUSED B+

    1. Gain access to the VTSS Siren.
    2. Disconnect the Siren connector.
    3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A414) Fused B(+) circuit in the Siren connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go To  3.

      No 

  3. (Z909) GROUND CIRCUIT

    1. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z909) Ground circuit at the siren connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4.

      No 

  4. FAULTY SIREN

    1. Use the DRBIII® and set up as follows:
    2. Use the Scope input cable CH7058, Cable to Probe adapter CH7062, and the red and black test probes.
    3. Connect the scope input cable to the channel one connector on the DRBIII®. Attach the red and black leads and the cable to probe adapter to the scope input cable.
    4. Select DRBIII® Stand-alone.
    5. Select lab scope.
    6. Select Live.
    7. Select 12 volt square wave.
    8. Press F2 for Scope.
    9. Press F2 and use the down arrow to set voltage range to 20 volts. Press F2 again when complete.
    10. Disconnect the Siren connector.
    11. Connect the black lead to the chassis ground. Connect the red lead to the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit in the Siren connector.
    12. Close all doors and arm the VTSS.
    13. Observe the voltage displayed on the DRBIII® Lab Scope.

      Is there a voltage square wave present 1 to 2 seconds?

      Yes 

      • Connect a known good siren and try to reset the DTC. If the DTC does not reset the original siren needs to be replaced. If the DTC does reset replace the Intrusion Transceiver Module in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  5.
  5. (D96) SIREN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY

    1. Disconnect the Siren harness connector.
    2. Measure the voltage of the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  6.
  6. (D96) SIREN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND 
    Fig 5: Checking Siren Signal Control Circuit Shorted To Ground
    GC0099710Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
    1. Disconnect the Siren harness connector.
    2. Disconnect the Intrusion Transceiver Module harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit.

      Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  7.

      No 

  7. (D96) SIREN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN 
    Fig 6: Checking Siren Signal Control Circuit Open
    GC0099711Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
    1. Disconnect the Intrusion Transceiver Module harness connector.
    2. Measure the resistance of the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit between the Intrusion Transceiver Module and the Siren connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No
