Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 7:  Test the CAN - high and CAN - low circuits for an open or high resistance.
  2. 8:  Test the CAN - high and CAN - low circuits for a short between circuits.
