NO BUS INDICATOR DJ 2016 service CD IC = instrument cluster The no bus indicator gives an indication to the vehicle operator when the IC detects a loss of electronic communication over the CAN data bus. This indicator is controlled by the IC logic circuit based upon programming and electronic messages not being received over the CAN data bus from the BCM. The no bus indicator function of the electronic display unit is completely controlled by the IC logic circuit, and that logic will only allow this indicator to operate when the IC receives a battery current input on the fused ignition output (run-start) circuit. Therefore, the no bus indication will always be OFF when the ignition switch status is anything except ON or START. The IC will turn ON the no bus indicator for the following reasons: • No Electronic Communication Messages - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and the IC does not receive electronic communication messages over the CAN data bus, the no bus indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until CAN bus communication is restored or until the ignition switch status transitions to OFF, whichever occurs first. The IC continually monitors the CAN data bus to determine the status of many sensors and systems throughout the vehicle. If the IC detects the loss of CAN bus communication it illuminates the no bus indicator to alert the vehicle operator that it cannot provide accurate displays and outputs. For proper diagnosis of the IC, the CAN data bus or the electronic communication related to no bus indicator operation a diagnostic scan tool is required.

1) Battery saver mode = weak battery. Get battery auto technician tested. 2) Automotive shop to scan the system for codes. Parts store scan is probably a basic scan. Not enough for you.

I looked up the battery cables for the 2010 DJ. 2.4 and 3.5 engines. The ground cable is separate. Simple to replace go standard 2 AWG cable. Critical factor - The positive cables you need to see how they connect inside the plastic connectors. If you do have this cable arrangement. Get the best pictures of the red cable inside the plastic connectors. See if it is lug ends connected to a bolt. You could put a set together. Complete stock cable harness starts at $155.00.

You have 2010 Journey? My 2016 DJ is different than yours regarding cable connections. Post a picture of driver's side strut tower. Where the negative battery cable connects. I believe the battery positive cable connects on the strut tower, as well.

First thing for auto parts go to Rock auto.com. They have everything you might need at the lowest cost. You pay a flat fee for shipping from each warehouse your parts come from. I use Rock auto exclusively. For reference and research as well. https://www.rockauto.com/ Your 100% correct regarding the fan operation. Only AC high pressure turns the fan on. I found the Fan operation information. Theory of Operation The two speed cooling fan system uses two relays and a radiator fan resistor to control the cooling fan operation. The two relays are the High Fan Relay, Lo-Hi Fan Relay. During low speed mode, the cooling fan operates in series with the Radiator Fan Resistor, limiting the 12 Volt source to the Radiator Fan Module. During high speed mode, the cooling fan motor receives a battery voltage feed directly from the High Speed Radiator Fan Relay. During low speed mode: The PCM grounds the (N201) Fan Relay Control circuit, closing the relay to connect the Cooling Fan 12 Volt Supply circuit to the (N23) Cooling Fan Motor 1 Output circuit. The (N23) Cooling Fan Motor 1 Output circuit supplies 12 Volts to the Radiator Fan Resistor. Current flows through the resistor and out the (N24B) Radiator Fan Relay Output circuit. The current is sent back to the PDC and is spliced into the (N24A) Radiator Fan Relay Output circuit which goes directly to the Radiator Fan Module. The (Z904) Ground circuit provides the ground path for the Radiator Fan Module During High speed mode: The PCM grounds the (N112) Rad Fan Relay Control circuit and the (N112) Fan Relay Control circuit, closing the High Speed Radiator Fan Relay. The Cooling Fan 12 Volt Supply circuit connects to the (N24A) Rad Fan Relay Output circuit and provides 12 Volts to Radiator Fan Module. The (2904) Ground circuit provides the ground for Radiator Fan Module

Codes P0480 - P0481 . Cooling fans 1 and 2 relay control circuit open. Causes - -fan Relay -fan relay control circuit open -fan relay control circuit shorted to ground. Your coolant temperature sensor is working fine. Using the digital coolant temperature gauge. You can see when the fan kicks on dropping the temperature. My DJ, fan kicks on at 220 F cools down to 210 F. The analog temperature gauge always stays a hair left of the center line. Thermostat Operation - Rated temperature 195 F. The thermostat is designed to guarantee a minimum engine operating temperature of 88 to 93°C (192 to 199°F). The thermostat also will automatically reach wide open so it will not restrict flow to the radiator as temperature of the coolant rises in hot weather to around 104°C (220°F). Above this temperature the coolant temperature is controlled by the radiator, fan, and ambient temperature, not the thermostat. Fan specifications - Cooling fan wiring diagram - The water pump heater hose inlet possible obstruction, is something I read online. Found the piece in the Service CD. I haven't checked YouTube.

Maybe it's the common problem of the 09-10 DJ TIPM relays that are soldered to it going bad. Ask here. https://circuitboardmedics.com/2009-2010-dodge-journey-tipm-repair-service/?srsltid=AfmBOopx7YC9nMaSqJdN8RX9N6_WtCWAHcKhGUJ7jlPjQfsl50gQnwo5

okay, That fixed Krishelle's DJ. So on the 2010 DJ, There is no separate light switch. Everything is on the turn signal switch on the steering column. Have you been able to locate a fuse or relays under the hood or interior fuse box? Need to get a copy of the correct 2010 wiring diagram. For all lighting systems. Ask a shop if they would get them for you. My information is for a 16 DJ. Dean

Katlyn, Replace the turn signal lever-switch.

If you have the instrument cluster below on the DJ. Use the steering wheel keypad arrows and back button. To access any available gauges in the menu. Flow chart 3.6. 1 - RADIATOR 2 - RH CYLINDER HEAD 3 - THERMOSTAT 4 - WATER CROSSOVER 5 - LH CYLINDER HEAD 6 - REAR HEATER CORE 7 - FRONT HEATER CORE 8 - OIL COOLER 9 - WATER PUMP 10 - CYLINDER BLOCK I found this on the 2016 DJ service CD. The heater hose connection by the lower engine radiator hose on the water pump. May have a restriction in it that affects heater core performance. Read below-

Have you checked the radiator cooling fan? These are the Dodge radiator cooling fan specifications. Coolant temperature Fan on 220 F Fan off 214 F AC on fan on.

Slow down........ Need more information first. Q1 - Do you have the EVIC screen in between the tachometer and the speedometer? Select to display engine coolant temperature. I need to know the engine coolant temperature. That it runs at during the speeds you are referring to. What temperature is it when you say it's overheating. What exactly happens when you say it's overheating?

Would you elaborate on what happened, when the instrument cluster went dark?

FOB- I am currently reading up on the FOB system. Start simple - Battery check voltage. Battery correctly installed. Check and clean battery connections. Q tip works. See picture below on what to check and clean. You might want to try a new FOB. Go here for a programmer and key fob. I did this and was very easy to do. You need one working FOB. https://tomskey.com/products/chrysler-dodge-jeep-and-ram-simple-key-programmer-for-smart-key-fob-cdsk-e5trz0sk-kit

To reach the ambient air temp you have to remove the inner lower plastic panel. Beneath the radiator. Pull the whole temp sensor assembly out of the front clip. It snaps into place. Then disconnect it from the wire harness. This is the fun part 😄. Do not pull on the wires.

P0073 Ambient air temp sensor circuit voltage high. Check this- Ambient air temp Sensor bad. Sensor wire issues. This is the ambient air temp sensor on my 2016 DJ. Located behind the lower air intake on the front clip.

Welcome to the forum. As a Journey owner you will soon know more about 12 volt automotive electrical systems. Then you ever needed to know. I have put together everything, I have learned into specific forum post's. Read carefully!! Several times. Then ask questions. Battery drain- 1) Glove box light. Switch sticks on. Replace or disconnect. 2) Bluetooth - HFM hands free module for Dodge. Pull the fuse marked HFM. Code P0562. My case it was a weak battery. It is the battery or battery cable and ground connections. Simple rule for Journey electrical components. Never look and guess. Always Test the battery and clean all connections. Period................................

Based on my experience and what I have learned. I feel the minimum service would be fluid and filter change at 60k miles. Personally, I feel doing a transmission flush is an expensive gamble.
