Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer concern.
  2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.
    • If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
      VISUAL INSPECTION CHART

      Electrical
      • Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse(s):
        • 5 (10A) (no communication with the PCM)
        • 6 (15A) (no power to the scan tool)
        • 15 (20A) (no communication with the ABS module)
        • 19 (20A) (no communication with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) module)
        • 28 (15A) (no communication with the PCM)
        • 35 (10A) (no communication with the PCM)
      • Central Junction Box (CJB) fuse(s):
        • 148 (7.5A) (no communication with the Instrument Cluster (IC))
        • 151 (15A) (no communication with the Audio Control Module (ACM), Speech Recognition Module (SRM))
        • 152 (7.5A) (no communication with the Parking Aid Module (PAM))
        • 161 (7.5A) (no communication with the ABS module)
        • 162 (7.5A) (no communication with the Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM), Restraints Control Module (RCM))
        • 179 (7.5A) (no communication with the Generic Electronic Module (GEM), IC  , TPMS  module)
      • Data Link Connector (DLC)
      • Wiring harness
      • Wiring, terminals or connectors
    3. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
  3. Connect the scan tool to the DLC  .
      NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground from the DLC  are provided to the VCM  .
    • If the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) does not communicate with the VCM  :
      • Check the VCM  connection to the vehicle.
      • Check the scan tool connection to the VCM  .
      • GO to PINPOINT TEST O , to diagnose No Power To The Scan Tool.
  4. Establish a scan tool session.
      NOTE: The scan tool first attempts to communicate with the PCM, after establishing communication with the PCM, the scan tool then attempts to communicate with all other modules on the vehicle.
    • If an IDS  session cannot be established with the vehicle, (IDS  may state "No communication can be established with the PCM"):
      • Choose "NO" when the scan tool prompts whether or not to retry communication.
      • Enter either a PCM part number, tear tag or calibration number to identify the vehicle and start a session (the PCM part number and 4-character tear tag are printed on the PCM label).
      • GO to PINPOINT TEST A , to diagnose The PCM Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool.
  5. Carry out the network test.
    • If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs and proceed to Step 6.
    • If the network test fails, GO to SYMPTOM CHART  to diagnose the failed communication network.
    • If a module fails to communicate during the network test, GO to SYMPTOM CHART .
  6. Retrieve and review the DTCs.
    • If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC CHARTS . Follow the non-network DTC diagnostics (B-codes, C-codes, P-codes) prior to the network DTC diagnostics (U-codes). For all other DTCs, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart in MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES .
    • If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to SYMPTOM CHART .
