  1. Check fuse No. 30 (7.5-amp) in instrument panel fuse box. If fuse is okay, go to next step. If fuse is blown, perform TEST A: NO COMMUNICATION WITH DRIVER DOOR MODULE.
  2. Measure voltage at input cavity of fuse No. 30 at instrument panel fuse box. If battery voltage exist, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, perform TEST A: NO COMMUNICATION WITH DRIVER DOOR MODULE.
  3. Install fuse No. 30. Disconnect DSM harness connector C313. Measure voltage at terminal No. 14 (Light Green/Purple wire) at DSM harness connector C313. If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in Light Green/Purple wire.
  4. Measure resistance between ground and terminal No. 1 (Pink/Orange wire) at DSM harness connector C313. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, diagnosis network concern. See MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, repair open in Pink/Orange wire.
