Diagnostic Test

  1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION 
    NOTE:

    Check for any TSB(s) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.

    1. Turn the ignition on.
      NOTE:

      Make sure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.

    2. With the scan tool, read the module status.
      NOTE:

      Check the TIPM for any active CAN hardware DTCs, perform DTC before proceeding.

      Does the scan tool indicate that the module is active on the bus?

      Yes 

      • The no response condition is 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 correct pin tension.

      No 

      • Go To  2.
  2. CHECK PCM POWER AND GROUND 
    1. Check the PCM power, ground circuits, perform the Checking the PCM Power and Ground Circuits diagnostic procedure.

      Were any problems found?

      Yes 

      • Repair as necessary.
      • Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST.

      No 

      • Go To  3.

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the TIPM C1 harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of the (D65) CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the TIPM C1 harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.

      Is resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4.

      No 

      • Repair the open in the (D65) CAN C Bus (+) circuit.
      • Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST.

    1. Measure the resistance of the (D64) CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the TIPM C1 harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.

      Is resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.
      • Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST.

      No 

      • Repair the open in the (D64) CAN C Bus (-) circuit.
