Test L: SARC Module Does Not Respond To Scan Tool

  1. Check SARC Module Connector

    Turn ignition off. Disconnect Semi-Active Ride Control (SARC) module connector C451 (16-terminal connector containing Light Blue/White wire) from SARC module. SARC module is located behind rear seat in right side of luggage compartment. Inspect connector C451 terminals. If connector terminals are okay, go to next step. Repair any damaged terminals. Restore all electrical connections and repeat DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  to confirm repair.
  2. Check Circuit No. 70 Between DLC & Connector C214

    Disconnect harness connector C214 (Black 38-terminal connector on left side of instrument panel). Measure resistance of circuit No. 70. (Light Blue/White wire) between DLC terminal No. 7 and harness connector C214. See Figure . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open Light Blue/White wire between DLC and harness connector C214. Restore electrical connections and perform DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  to confirm repair.
  3. Check Connector C214

    Inspect harness connector C214 terminals for damage. If connector terminals are okay, go to next step. Repair any damaged terminals. Restore all electrical connections and perform DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  to confirm repair.
  4. Check Circuit No. 70 Between SARC Module and Connector C214

    Turn ignition off. Measure resistance of circuit No. 70 (Light Blue/White wire) between RAP module harness connector and harness connector C214. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace SARC module. Restore electrical connections and perform DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  to confirm repair. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open Light Blue/White wire between harness connector C214 and SARC module harness connector. Restore electrical connections and perform DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  to confirm repair.
