Charger V6-3.5L (2009)
2. Using a voltmeter, perform a voltage drop test by backprobing the (K900) Sensor Ground circuit at the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
harness connector and by probing the appropriate terminal of the PCM Pinout Box 8815. Make sure the voltmeter leads are connected so that
positive polarity is displayed on the voltmeter.
WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hand near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not
wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in possible serious or fatal injury.
3. Start the engine.
Is the voltage below 0.5 of a volt?
