Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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 WIPER SYSTEM - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING .
  Is delamination present on the windshield?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the windshield in accordance with the Service Information
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 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 3.
  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 poor pin fit.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

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 5.
  No
  - Go To 4.

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 6.
  No
  - Replace the Rain Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .

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
  - Repair the (D508) LIN Bus circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Replace the Wireless Control Module (WCM) in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM) VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .

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
  - Repair the LIN Bus wire for a short to voltage.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Replace the Wireless Control Module (WCM) in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM) VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
