Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, create a Vehicle Scan Report and attach it to the repair order.
- With the scan tool, read the Right Blind Spot Sensor (RBSS) DTCs.
Is the DTC active?
Yes
- Go To 2.
No
- Perform the TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- CHECK RIGHT BLIND SPOT SENSOR CONNECTION
- Turn the ignition off.
- Check that the connections on the RBSS are not faulty e.g. loose or damaged.
Are there any loose or damaged connections?
Yes
- Repair the wiring connections as necessary.
No
- Go to 3.
- CHECK THE (Z342) GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
- With a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, check both (Z342) Ground circuits at the RBSS harness connector.NOTE:
The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
Does the test light illuminate brightly for both circuits?
Yes
- Go To 4.
No
- Repair the (Z342) Ground circuit(s) for an open or high resistance.
- With a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, check both (Z342) Ground circuits at the RBSS harness connector.
- CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Disconnect all RBSS Module harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all RBSS Module harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read RBSS Module DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace the Right Blind Spot Sensor in accordance with the Service information. Refer to MODULE, BLIND SPOT, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Perform the Body VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Perform the Body VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- Test complete.
