Test A: No Communication With Front Electronic Module (Fem)

  1. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect Front Electronic Module (FEM) harness connectors C201c and C201f. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Measure voltage between FEM 12-pin harness connector C201c terminal No. 6 (Orange/Green wire) and ground. See Fig 1 . Measure voltage between FEM 20-pin harness connector C201f terminal No. 1 (Orange/Yellow wire) and ground. See Fig 2 . If voltages are greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If any voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open in appropriate wire and retest system operation.
  2. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect FEM 17-pin harness connector C201a. Measure resistance between ground and Black/Red wires at FEM 17-pin harness connector C201a terminals No. 11, 13, 14 and 15. See Fig 3 . Measure resistance between FEM 12-pin harness connector C201c terminal No. 12 (Black/Red wire) and ground. If resistance are less than 5 ohms, repair module communications concern. See MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - LS article. If any resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair appropriate Black/Red wire and retest system operation.
