Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. With the scan tool, read Electronic Shift Module (ESM) DTCs and record on the repair order.
    2. Record the Event Data and Environmental Data.
    3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    4. Using the recorded Event and Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    5. With the scan tool, read ESM DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

      • Go To  7
  2. CHECK THE ELECTRIC POWERTRAIN (EPT/ESHIFT) CAN BUS CIRCUIT VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the ESM harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage between ground and the CAN EPT (+) circuit at the ESM harness connector.
    5. Measure the voltage between ground and the CAN EPT (-) circuit at the ESM harness connector.

      Is the voltage between 2.4 and 2.6 volts for each circuit?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK CAN EPT CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Power Inverter Module (HCP/PIM) harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the CAN EPT (+) circuit between the ESM harness connector and the (HCP/PIM) harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of the CAN EPT (-) circuit between the ESM harness connector and the (HCP/PIM) harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms for each circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

  4. CHECK CAN EPT CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Check for continuity between ground and the CAN EPT (+) circuit at the (HCP/PIM) harness connector.
    2. Check for continuity between ground and the CAN EPT (-) circuit at the (HCP/PIM) harness connector.

      Is there continuity between ground and the either of the CAN EPT circuits?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. CHECK CAN EPT CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO ANOTHER CIRCUIT 
    1. Check for continuity between the CAN EPT (+) circuit and all other circuits at the (HCP/PIM) harness connector.
    2. Check for continuity between the CAN EPT (-) circuit and all other circuits at the (HCP/PIM) harness connector.

      Is there continuity between either CAN EPT circuit and any other circuit?

      Yes 

      No 

  6. Did the DTC return after performing the ESM VERIFICATION TEST?

    Yes 

  7. CHECK WIRING AND CONNECTORS 
    1. The conditions necessary to set the DTC are not present at this time.
    2. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors specific to this circuit.
    3. Wiggle the wires while checking for shorted and open circuits.
    4. Check for any Service Bulletins that may apply.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
