Diagnostic Test

CHECK DTC CONDITIONS
NOTE: If both DTCs C140A and C1415 are present, check the FDCM fuse and B(+) supply to the Integrated Power Module (IPM) before continuing with diagnosis.
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With the scan tool, read DTCs in the Final Drive Control Module.
  Pick the answer that best describes DTC condition?
  
  If DTCs C140A and C1415 are both present,
  - Go to step 2
  If DTC C140A is active,
  - Go to step 4
  If DTC C140A is stored (not active),
  - Go to step 10
