Diagnostic Test

  1. INTERMITTENT DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 
    1. With the scan tool, erase the WIN DTCs.
    2. Turn the ignition off.
    3. Arm the Vehicle Theft and Security System (VTSS) and wait one minute.
    4. Disarm the VTSS and turn the ignition on.

      Does the scan tool display: U0236-LOST COMMUNICATION WITH COLUMN LOCK MODULE?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

      • Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals and poor pin fit.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
