Pinpoint Test P : The GPSM Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to Battery, Mounting and Cables .

  1. P1 CHECK THE GPSM VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: GPSM C2300 .
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage  between:
      Positive Lead Negative Lead
      Pin Circuit Pin Circuit
      C2300-1 SBP29 (GY/RD) - Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    Yes  GO to  P2.
    No  VERIFY the Body Control Module (BCM) fuse 29 (20A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit in question. If not OK, REFER to the OEM Electrical Wiring Diagram Introduction to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.
  2. P2 CHECK THE GPSM GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
    • Measure the resistance  between:
      Positive Lead Negative Lead
      Pin Circuit Pin Circuit
      C2300-6 GD374 (BK/WH) - Ground

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  P3.
    No  REPAIR the circuit in question.
  3. P3 CHECK THE MS-CAN CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE GPSM AND THE DLC FOR AN OPEN

    • Measure the resistance  between:
      Positive Lead Negative Lead
      Pin Circuit Pin Circuit
      C2300-2 VDB06 (GY) C251-3 VDB06 (GY/OG)
      C2300-3 VDB07 (VT) C251-11 VDB07 (VT/OG)

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    Yes  GO to  P4.
    No  REPAIR the circuit in question.
  4. P4 CHECK FOR CORRECT GPSM OPERATION

    • Disconnect the GPSM connector.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (replace connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - replace terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - replace pins as necessary
    • Connect the GPSM connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes  CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs. If a TSB exists for this concern, discontinue this test and follow TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new GPSM. REFER to the appropriate Audio Systems article for the procedure.
    No  The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
