Diagnostic Test

CHECK FOR ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Using the scan tool, read the active DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 2
  No
  - If the DTC is stored, check for an intermittent condition. Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
REMOTE START RELAY
1. Turn the ignition off.
  NOTE: Check the PDC fuses before continuing.
2. Install a substitute relay in place of the original Remote Start Relay.
3. Cycle the ignition switch from off to on, leaving the ignition on for a minimum of 90 seconds.
4. Using the scan tool, read the active FCM DTCs.
  Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
  
  Yes
  - Go to step 3
  No
  - Replace the original Remote Start Relay.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the IPM C1 harness connector.
3. Remove the Remote Start Relay.
4. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K617) Remote Start Relay Control circuit at the relay cavity (85).
  Is the resistance below 100.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (K617) Remote Start Relay Control circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Go to step 4

1. Reconnect the IPM C1 harness connector.
2. Remove the FCM from the IPM
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K617) Remote Start Relay Control circuit at the relay cavity (85).
  Is the resistance below 100.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the IPM in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
  No
  - Replace the FCM in accordance with the Service Information.
  - Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
