Diagnostic Test

  1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
      NOTE: Ensure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
    2. With the scan tool, select ECU view.
      NOTE: A red "X" will be next to the module that is not communicating, indicating that the module is not active on the Bus network. A green check indicates that the module is active on the Bus network.
      NOTE: Check the FCM for any active CAN C hardware DTCs, perform DTC before proceeding.

      Does the scan tool display a red "X" next to the module?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

      • The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.
  2. FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Final Drive Control Module harness connectors.
    3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check each Fused B(+) circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No 

  3. GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check each Ground circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

  4. (F921) FUSED RUN RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F921) Fused Run Relay Output circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. (D65) CAN C BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the FCM C1 harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (D65) CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the FCM connector and the FDCM connector.

      Is resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

  6. (D64) CAN C BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Measure the resistance of the (D64) CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the FCM connector and the FDCM connector.

      Is resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      No
