DRB Test Functions

NOTE: DO NOT  touch DRB keypad during power-up sequence, or an error message will result.
NOTE: Because DRB is grounded through its connector, only one volt-ohmmeter test lead is required when using volt-ohmmeter option. DRB volt-ohmmeter should only be used when specified by diagnostic procedure.
  1. Diagnostic tests are available at either BODY or CLIMATE CONTROL menus. On vehicles equipped with BCM, fault codes can only be retrieved from BODY menu. See IDENTIFYING VEHICLE EQUIPMENT & SYSTEM PROBLEMS .
  2. Turn ignition off. Connect DRB to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located under instrument cluster, next to center console. See Fig 1. Turn ignition on.
  3. Copyright information will appear on screen during Power On Self Test (POST). After the POST (no error messages present), DRB main menu will appear. If the DRB screen display is blank, see REPAIRING DRB BLANK SCREEN .
  4. At DRB main menu, press "1" (STANDALONE DRB III) key. After software version number and connecting cable in use are displayed, STANDALONE MAIN MENU appears. Select vehicle to be tested.
  5. From SELECT SYSTEM menu, press "3" (BODY) key to enter body control module part of DRB program or "9" (CLIMATE CONTROL) to enter climate control part of DRB program.
