Pinpoint Test E: The Sod-R Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool Or Cannot Be Configured

NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .
  1. E1 VERIFY THE SOD-R PASS THE NETWORK TEST 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Network Test.
    • Verify that the SOD-R pass the network test.
    • Does the SOD-R pass the network test? 
      • Yes  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by high network traffic or an intermittent problem.
      • No  : GO to E2.
  2. E2 CHECK THE SOD-R ADDRESS GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
    • Disconnect: SOD-RC4370.
    • Measure the resistance between the SOD-RC4370-6, circuit GD145 (BK/BU), harness side and ground.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
      • Yes  : GO to E3.
      • No  : REPAIR the circuit in question. TEST the system for normal operation.
  3. E3 CONFIGURE THE SOD-R 
    • Carry out Programmable Module Installation (PMI) for the SOD-R. Refer to MODULE CONFIGURATION .
    • Verify the SOD-R passes the network test.
    • Does the SOD-R pass the network test? 
      • Yes  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern was due to incorrect configuration. TEST the system for normal operation.
      • No  : REFER to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK to diagnose The SOD-R Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool.
