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.

        • 7 (7.5A) (DSM  )
        • 9 (10A) (LTM  )
        • 11 (10A) (Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), Head Up Display (HUD) module)
        • 18 (10A) (BCM  )
        • 19 (20A) (Audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) module)
        • 23 (15A) (FLM  , Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module, SCCM  )
        • 24 (15A) (no power to DLC  , Steering Column Control Module (SCCM))
        • 26 (5A) (Global Positioning System Module (GPSM))
        • 27 (20A) (RFA  module)
        • 29 (20A) (Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM), Audio Control Module (ACM), Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM), Front Control/Display Interface Module (FCDIM))
        • 34 (10A) (Parking Aid Module (PAM), Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L), Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right (SOD-R))
        • 35 (5A) (Head Up Display (HUD) module)
        • 36 (10A) (Heated Steering Wheel Module (HSWM))
        • 41 (7.5A) (Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM), Restraints Control Module (RCM))
        • 46 (10A) (HVAC module EMTC  or DATC  )
      • Data Link Connector (DLC)
      • Wiring, terminals or connectors
  3. Connect the scan tool to the DLC  .
      NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
      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 AE , 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. If the PCM part number cannot be found, a base part number search on the HVBOM application (under the OASIS  tab on the technician service publication website) retrieves the PCM part number.
      • 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).
    • If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to SYMPTOM CHART .
