|---|---|---|---|
| STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION | |
| 1 | RETRIEVE THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)
|
Yes | If DTC B1431, go to next step. If DTC B1446, go to step 3. If DTC B2179, B2180, B2181 or B2183, go to step 6. |
| No | Carry out the run/park relay component test. If the relay tests OK, go to step 7. | ||
| 2 | CHECK CIRCUIT (G/V) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
|
Yes | Go to step 8. |
| No | Repair circuit (G/V) for a short to ground. Test the system for normal operation. | ||
| 3 | CHECK CIRCUIT (BR/L) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
|
Yes | Repair circuit (BR/L) for a short to voltage. Test Die system for normal operation. |
| No | Go to next step. | ||
| 4 | CHECK CIRCUIT (L/GY) FOR VOLTAGE
|
Yes | Go to next step. |
| No | Go to step 8. | ||
| 5 | CHECK CIRCUIT (L/GY) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
|
Yes | Repair circuit (L/GY) for a short to voltage. Test the system for normal operation. |
| No | Repair circuit (L/G) for a short to voltage. Test the system for normal operation. | ||
| 6 | CHECK CIRCUITS (G/V), (V/W), (L/O) AND (BR/W) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
|
Yes | Carry out the multi-function switch component test. See table at the end of test. If the switch tests OK, go to step 8. |
| No | Repair circuit (G/V), (L/O), (V/W) or (BR/W) for a short to ground. Test the system for normal operation. | ||
| 7 | CHECK CIRCUIT (V/O) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
|
Yes | Repair circuit (V/O) for a short to voltage. Test the system for normal operation. |
| No | Go to next step. | ||
| 8 | CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB OPERATION
|
Yes | Install a new SJB. See SMART JUNCTION BOX (SJB) , . Clear the DTCs, Repeat the self-test. |
| No | The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. Clear the DTCs. Repeat the self-test. | ||
