Mercedes-Benz Sprinter / Dodge Sprinter. Manual - part 116

TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

Turn the ignition off to the lock position.
Disconnect the TCM C2 harness connector.
Disconnect the ECM harness connector.
NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.
Measure the resistance of both the CAN C Bus (+) circuit and the CAN C Bus (-)
circuit between the TCM C2 harness connector and ECM harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms for each measurement?

All

Yes

→ Replace the Engine Control Module in accordance with the

Service Information.
Perform ROAD TEST VERIFICATION - VER-2.

→ Repair the CAN C Bus (+) and/or CAN C Bus (-) circuit for an

open.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

WARNING: WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING, DO NOT STAND IN A
DIRECT LINE WITH THE FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS NEAR THE
PULLEYS, BELTS OR FAN. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING.
NOTE: The conditions that set the DTC are not present at this time. The
following list may help in identifying the intermittent condition.
With the engine running at normal operating temperature, monitor the DRB
parameters related to the DTC while wiggling the wiring harness. Look for param-
eter values to change and/or a DTC to set.
Review the DTC When Monitored and Set Conditions. If possible, try to duplicate the
conditions under which the DTC was set.
Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) that may apply.
Visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or
partially broken wires.
Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed
out, or corroded terminals.
Were any of the above conditions present?

All

Yes

→ Repair as necessary.

Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

→ Test Complete.

TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

NOTE: If DTC P1611, P2306 or P2332 is present with this DTC, diagnose
DTCs P1611, P2306 or P2332 before diagnosing this DTC.
NOTE: If the ECM detects and stores a DTC, the ECM also stores the
engine/vehicle operating conditions under which the DTC was set. Some of
these conditions are displayed on the DRB at the same time the DTC is
displayed.
NOTE: Before erasing stored DTCs, record these conditions. Attempting to
duplicate these conditions may assist when checking for an active DTC.
NOTE: The APP Sensor is a device that contains 2 separate potentiometer
type sensors. Each sensor has its own 5-volt supply circuit, sensor ground
circuit and signal circuit. The APP Sensor no longer incorporates a low-idle
switch.
NOTE: The APP Sensor 2 signal should always be approximately 1/2 the
voltage of the APP Sensor 1 signal.
Turn the ignition on.
Using a voltmeter, backprobe the APP Sensor 1 and APP Sensor 2 Signal circuits at
the APP Sensor harness connector with the accelerator pedal in the at rest position.
Is the voltage between 0.28 and 0.37 volt for sensor 1 and 0.10 and 0.19 volt for sensor
2?

All

Yes

→ Go To 2

→ Go To 5

Turn the ignition on.
Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
Using a voltmeter backprobe the APP Sensor harness connector and read the voltage
for APP Sensor 1 and APP Sensor 2 Signal circuits.
Is the voltage between 4.45 and 4.75 volts for #1 and 2.15 and 2.45 volts for #2?

All

Yes

→ Go To 3

→ Go To 5

Turn the ignition on.
With the DRB, read the APP Sensor 1 and APP Sensor 2 percentages (%).
With the accelerator pedal in the idle position, slowly depress the accelerator pedal
until the pedal is fully depressed.
NOTE: The percentage readings for APP Sensors 1 and 2 should increase
smoothly as the pedal is depressed.
NOTE: This test can also performed using a voltmeter by back probing each
APP Sensor Signal circuit at the APP Sensor harness connector and
observing the voltmeter for a smooth voltage change through the entire
pedal travel.
Does the percentage (voltage) increase smoothly for both readings with the acceler-
ator pedal travel?

All

Yes

→ Go To 4

→ Replace the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor in accordance with

the Service Information.
Perform ROAD TEST VERIFICATION - VER-2.
