Circuit/System Testing
- Using the DTC Descriptor and Diagnostic Aids above, determine the module that is not communicating that should be tested.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the module that is not communicating.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the module voltage circuit and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit fuse is open, also test the positive voltage outputs of the module for a short to ground. If the circuits test normal, replace the faulty module.
- Test for less than 5 ohm of resistance between the module ground circuits and ground.
- If greater than 5 ohm, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance in the Class 2 serial data circuit between the non-communicating module and the module that displays the DTC.
- If greater than 1 ohm of resistance, test the Class 2 serial data circuit for open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the module that is not communicating.
