    • Are any DTCs present? 
    Yes No
    DIAGNOSE the GWM DTC. REFER to COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK Go to  D7.
  7. D7: RETRIEVE ALL DTCS FROM THE BCM 
    • Carry out the BCM self-test.
    • Record all DTCs from the BCM self-test.
    • Is DTC U3003:16 or U3003:17 present? 
    Yes No
    DIAGNOSE the BCM DTC. REFER to DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Go to  D8.
  8. D8: CHECK FOR OTHER CAUSES OF COMMUNICATION NETWORK CONCERN 
    NOTE: If new modules were installed prior to the DTC being set, the module configuration can be incorrectly set during the PMI or the PMI may not have been carried out.
    • Operate the system and determine if the observable symptom is still present.
    • Is the observable symptom still present? 
    Yes No
    Go to  D9. The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been due to incorrect parts replacement procedures or incorrect module configuration.
  9. D9: CHECK FOR COMMUNICATION DTCS IN OTHER MODULES 
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Clear the ABS DTCs.
    • Retrieve the continuous memory DTCs.
    • Is DTC U0140:xx, U0422:xx or U3003:08 set in 1 or more modules in addition to the ABS module? 
    Yes No
    Go to  D10. Go to  D11.
  10. D10: VERIFY BCM OPERATION 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • ABS Module connector disconnected.
    • Using a good light source, inspect all disconnected electrical connectors for the following:
