  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM). PCM is located at right corner of firewall. Turn ignition on. If scan tool does not display BUS SHORT TO 5 VOLTS, go to TEST 5B  . If scan tool displays BUS SHORT TO 5 VOLTS, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect instrument cluster. Turn ignition on. If scan tool does not display BUS SHORT TO 5 VOLTS, replace instrument cluster circuit board. If scan tool displays BUS SHORT TO 5 VOLTS, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition off and wait 5 minutes. Disconnect Air Bag System Control Module (ABSCM). is located under center console. Turn ignition on. If scan tool does not display BUS SHORT TO 5 VOLTS, replace ABSCM. If scan tool displays BUS SHORT TO 5 VOLTS, go to next step.
  4. Disconnect scan tool from DLC. Using external voltmeter, measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 3 (Violet/Brown wire) on DLC connector. If voltage is more than 4 volts, repair Violet/Brown wire for short to voltage. If voltage is 4 volts or less, go to next step.
  5. Measure voltage between ground and terminal No. 11 (White/Black wire) on DLC connector. If voltage is more than 4 volts, repair White/Black wire for short to voltage. If voltage is less than 4 volts, replace scan tool cable or scan tool as necessary.
