SAFETY NOTICE
This publication’s purpose is to provide technical training information to individuals in the
automotive trade. All test and repair procedures must be performed in accordance with
manufacturer’s service and diagnostic manuals. All warnings, cautions, and notes must be
observed for safety reasons. The following is a list of general guidelines:
• Proper service and repair is critical to the safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles.
• The information in this publication has been developed for service personnel, and can help
when diagnosing and performing vehicle repairs.
• Some service procedures require the use of special tools. These special tools must be used as
recommended throughout this Technical Training Publication, the diagnostic manual, and the
service manual.
• Special attention should be exercised when working with spring- or tension-loaded
fasteners and devices such as E-Clips, Cir-clips, snap rings, etc. Careless removal may cause
personal injury.
• Always wear safety goggles when working on vehicles or vehicle components.
• Improper service methods may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe.
• Observe all warnings to avoid the risk of personal injury.
• Observe all cautions to avoid damage to equipment and vehicles.
• Notes are intended to add clarity and should help make your job easier.
Cautions and warnings cover only the situations and procedures FCA US LLC has encountered
and recommended. Neither FCA US LLC nor its subsidiaries or af�iliates cannot know, evaluate,
and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in which service may be performed, or of the
possible hazards for each. Consequently, FCA US LLC and its subsidiaries and af�iliates have not
undertaken any such broad service review. Accordingly, anyone who used a service procedure or
tool that is not recommended in this publication, must be certain that neither personal safety, nor
vehicle safety, is jeopardized by the service methods they select.

1 TIPM 2 BCM
Figure 11 Central Gateway Module
FCA Group vehicles use one of two types of build configuration. TIPM- and Powernet-based
vehicles use “Vehicle Build Configuration“ and Compact US Wide-based vehicles use “PROCSI”.
Programming and Configuration of Systems (Electronic) Integrated (PROCSI)
The PROCSI build configuration (contained in the BCM) includes the purchased vehicle content
and legally required operating features based on the region in which it is sold. During vehicle
assembly, an end of line (EOL) tester, the manufacturing version of the scan tool, sends the PROCSI
file to all electronic control units (ECUs) that require configuration. The PROCSI message contains
specific programming instructions for each module on CAN-IHS and CAN-C. The behavior of each
module is determined by its portion of the PROCSI message.
For example, on the Dodge Dart, PROCSI configuration is used by all of the modules on CAN-IHS
except the integrated center stack (ICS). PROCSI configuration is used on all CAN-C modules
except the steering column control module (SCCM), gear shift module (GSM), and the powertrain
control module (PCM) for the 1.4L engine.
Whether or not a module will require PROCSI configuration is determined close to vehicle launch
based on such factors as standard equipment level and vehicle regulations in the countries in
which it will be sold. Refer to service information to determine which modules require PROCSI
configuration during service.
1 2
L02_003
PROCSI
Each time the ignition key is cycled to the ON position, the BCM sends a message to all
PROCSI-configured modules on the vehicle. Each module will respond to the message with its
configuration code. The configuration code includes a cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The BCM
uses the configuration code to verify that each module is configured correctly. If a module does
not respond, or responds with the incorrect CRC, a DTC is set. After three key cycles, the BCM
sends a message to the IPC which commands the odometer to flash.
When a PROCSI-configured module is replaced, the technician must program the new module
with the scan tool. The scan tool reads the information from the BCM PROCSI file and writes it
to the new module. There is no limit to the number of times a PROCSI module can be configured.
However, modules such as the radio frequency hub can only be programmed once (for security
reasons).

BUS BIAS
Each CAN bus module can bias the network. This means the module will determine the voltage,
and change in voltage, transmitted on the bus wires. Keep in mind there are many modules wired
in to the network. Arbitration allows for all modules to share information in an orderly manner.
Modules with messages deemed highly important take priority.

The CAN-B bus may be active whether the ignition is in the ON or OFF position and voltages can be
measured as long as the modules on the network are awake. Voltages on the CAN-B network will
be different from the other CAN networks found on FCA Group vehicles. Similar to other networks,
CAN-B modules provide their own bias, allowing them to alter the bus voltages.

SLEEP STRATEGY
Sleep strategy and voltage levels vary with network classification and follow the same grouping as
bus bias. As modules enter sleep mode, voltage levels move to their sleep position gradually. This
can be seen with a DMM.

1 Star Connector with Cover Removed 2 120 Ohms per Star Connector
Figure 42 Termination Resistance
The star connectors contain all of the termination resistance for their associated networks.
Various networks may have one or two star connectors depending on model and option content.
On a single-star connector configuration, termination resistance of that star connector measures
60 ohms. On a dual-star connector configuration, each star connector termination resistance
individually measures 120 ohms, but the total circuit resistance measures 60 ohms because the
star connectors are wired in parallel.
STAR CONNECTORS
The star connector is a unique component and makes diagnosis easier to perform. Consider a
star connector like a splice, but much easier to find, access, and separate. Each module connects
to a star connector through a dedicated connector. Modules can be disconnected from the bus
individually, or by group.

FAULT SYMPTOMS
When the LIN bus is shorted, no modules can communicate on the LIN bus network, and all LIN
module messaging stops. A loss of communication code (U-code) sets in the main module. A short
to ground or to power on the LIN bus does not affect main module communication over other CAN
bus systems.
Begin diagnosis by checking the voltage on the LIN bus to see if voltage is present. If an open
occurs, modules downstream of the open lose functionality, and communication codes will set. If
a single LIN-controlled module is not communicating, but all other LIN modules are functioning
normally, always verify power, ground, and LIN voltage at the suspect module before replacing
any parts. As long as at least one module on the LIN network is connected, then the circuit can be
biased to communicate.
Fault Tolerance
As with any single-wire communication bus, the LIN bus is not fault tolerant. If a short to ground
or power occurs on the LIN bus, the entire LIN bus loses the ability to communicate. If an open
occurs within the network, modules on the other side of the break (that are no longer connected
to the main module) lose communication. If an open occurs within the network, modules still
connected to the main module continue to communicate. Loss of power or ground to a controlled
module results in that particular controlled module losing communication; whereas loss of power
or ground to a main module results in no LIN bus communication.
K-Line
Some vehicles also use another single wire network, called a K-Line. K-Lines function similarly to
LIN busses and may be diagnosed as such. When diagnosing a particular K-Line, refer to service
information for specific details.

HYBRID BUS
A hybrid bus is the combination of two completely different communication architectures used on
a single vehicle. Hybrid bus systems allow information to be shared across different bus networks
through the use of a gateway module. Examples of other Chrysler vehicles with a hybrid bus
include the following:
• 2007- 2008 Chrysler Pacifica
• 2005-2007 KJ - Jeep Liberty
• 2006 DR (SRT10) – Dodge Ram
• 2008 ZB – Dodge Viper
NOTE: NOTE: The term hybrid bus does not refer to a communication system used only
on hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).

NORMAL OPERATION
Data exchange between modules is achieved by serial transmission of encoded data over a single-
wire broadcast network. The PCI bus message is typically a 10,400 bits per second (bps) PWM
signal. The PCI bus can support a maximum of 32 different modules, including the DRB III® scan
tool.
