3) Using DRB, read stored codes. If DRB displays stored
codes, perform appropriate diagnostic test. If DRB does not display
any stored codes, system is operating properly at this time.
COMPONENT VERIFICATION TEST
Reconnect all previously disconnected components and
connectors. Turn ignition on (engine off). Fully operate system that
was malfunctioning. If system operates properly, repair is complete.
If system does not operate properly, go to appropriate diagnostic
test.
VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS
VEHICLE COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS
NOTE: Use this test only when instructed to do so by another
diagnostic test. Due to manufacturer changes in wire
colors, use terminal identification whenever possible.
DRB Blank Screen
If DRB Screen is blank, disconnect DRB from data link
connector. Ensure good ground exists at data link connector terminal
No. 4 (Black/Tan wire). Ensure 12-volts exists at data link connector
terminal No. 16 (Pink wire). If 12-volts does not exist, check for
blown fuse No. 12 located in power distribution center. If no problems
can be found, try a different DRB cable and/or a different DRB.
No Response Condition
If no response condition from Air Bag Control Module (ACM)
exists, go to NO RESPONSE FROM AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE .
NO RESPONSE FROM AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE
NOTE: Perform COMPONENT VERIFICATION TEST under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
after all repairs. Each time a connector is disconnected,
inspect it to ensure it is in good condition. Always focus on
circuit being tested. Dirt, water and corrosion, are most
common problems in connectors. Due to manufacturer changes in
wire colors, use terminal identification whenever possible.
1) Remove and inspect fuse No. 19. If fuse is blown, go to
OPEN FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN/START) CKT . If not, go to next
step.
2) Using a voltmeter, measure ignition switch output
RUN/START at fuse No. 19. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. If voltage is more than
10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair
open ignition switch output RUN/START circuit.
3) Turn ignition off and wait 2 minutes. Disconnect ACM
connector. Reinstall fuse No. 19. Turn ignition on (engine off). Using\
a voltmeter, check voltage at ACM connector terminal No. 14 (Light
Green/Yellow wire). If voltage is more than 10 volts, go to next step.
If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open in Light Green/Yellow
wire.
4) Turn ignition off. Using DRB in ohmmeter mode, check
resistance at ACM connector terminal No. 4 (Black/Pink wire). If
resistance is more than 5 ohms, repair open in Black/Pink wire. If
resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step.
5) Turn ignition on (engine off). Using DRB in voltmeter
mode, check voltage at ACM connector terminal No. 21 (Violet/Brown
wire). If voltage is 1.8-2.6 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not
1.8-2.6 volts, repair open in Violet/Brown wire.

Box (DRB) scan tool with appropriate cartridge for system
diagnosis. Other after-market scan tools may be used for
system diagnosis. The following procedure is for DRB scan
tool usage. Use scan tool manufacturer's instruction for
operating scan tool.
NOTE: Ensure battery is fully charged before proceeding with test.
1) Ensure ignition is off. Connect DRB to Data Link Connector
(DLC) located under driver's side of instrument panel. Using scan
tool, display all Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Identify DTCs once
retrieved. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC) & DRB MESSAGES table.
2) If scan tool will not power up, check for loose cable
connections or faulty cable. If cable connections and cable are okay,
check voltage at DLC terminal No. 16. Voltage should be at least 11
volts. If voltage is not as specified, check wiring circuit and
necessary fuses. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
3) If scan tool displays an error message, RAM TEST FAILURE,
CARTRIDGE ERROR, KEY PAD TEST FAILURE, or LOW OR HIGH BATTERY, this
indicates a scan tool failure.
4) If DTCs are displayed, perform appropriate test(s). See
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC) & DRB MESSAGES table. If no DTCs are
displayed, see TROUBLE SHOOTING in appropriate AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

2) If no DTCs appear, cluster will start a walking segment
test. First, all segments will be illuminated, then each segment in
sequence. If any segment does not illuminate, repeat test to confirm
and replace instrument cluster. When walking segment test is complete,
bulb check will start.
3) If any bulb does not light, remove instrument cluster and
check bulb and bulb holder. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under REMOVAL &
INSTALLATION. Ensure bulb holder is properly installed in cluster. If
bulb and bulb holder are okay, replace instrument cluster. If LED does
not light, replace instrument cluster. When bulb check is complete,
gauge actuator test will start.
4) Each gauge needle should stop at 3 calibration points,
then return to relaxed position. If any gauge does not perform as
specified, remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Inspect all connections between printed
circuit board and gauge terminals, repair as necessary. If connections
are okay, replace instrument cluster. Instrument cluster will
automatically exit self-diagnostics when test is complete.
SYSTEM TESTS
NOTE: There are 2 instrument cluster connectors. These connectors
look identical. Identify connector by wire color. See WIRING
DIAGRAMS.
BRAKE WARNING LIGHT INOPERATIVE
1) Ensure parking brake is released. Turn ignition on. If
brake warning light stays on, check and repair hydraulic brake system
as necessary. See appropriate DISC & DRUM article in BRAKES section.
2) If brake warning light does not illuminate when ignition
is on, check fuse No. 17 (10-amp) on Ram Pickup or fuse No. 11 (10-
amp) on Ram Van and Ram Wagon in junction block. Junction block is
located at left end cover of instrument panel. If fuse is okay, go to
next step. If fuse is blown, locate and repair cause of blown fuse.
Install new fuse and recheck system operation.
3) Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and power
side of fuse No. 17 on Ram Pickup or fuse No. 11 on Ram Van and Ram
Wagon. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery
voltage is not present, locate and repair open circuit between to
