    1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
    2. Measure the resistance between ground and the (G180) FCM Sensor Return circuit.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  9

      No 

  9. (T103) DRIVETRAIN 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE

    GC0106256Courtesy of CHRYSLER LLC
    1. Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
    2. Connect a jumper wire between the (D201) Mode Sensor Signal circuit and the (T103) 5-Volt Supply circuit.
    3. Ignition on, engine not running.
    4. With the scan tool under Data Display, read the T-Case Position Sensor voltage.
    5. The displayed voltage should be approximately 5 volts with the jumper wire in place.

      Does the voltage read 5.0 (± 0.02 volts)?

      Yes
