Diagnostic Test

  1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION 
    NOTE:

    Check for any TSB(s) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.

    1. Turn the ignition on.
      NOTE:

      Make sure the battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.

    2. With the scan tool, read the module status.
      NOTE:

      Check the BCM for any active CAN DTCs and perform the appropriate diagnostics before proceeding. Refer to: BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX .

      Does the scan tool indicate that the module is active on the bus?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  2
  2. CHECK THE (A194) FUSED B (+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Drivetrain Control Module C1 and C2 harness connectors.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A194) Fused B (+) circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go To  3

      No 

      • Repair the (A194) Fused B (+) circuit for an open or short.
      • Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: DTCM VERIFICATION TEST .
  3. CHECK THE (F946) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN-START) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT 
    1. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F946) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run-Start) circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

      • Repair the (F946) Fused Ignition Switch Output (Run-Start) circuit for an open or short.
      • Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: DTCM VERIFICATION TEST .
  4. CHECK THE (Z901) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z901) Ground circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

      • Repair the (Z901) Ground circuit for an open.
      • Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: DTCM VERIFICATION TEST .
  5. CHECK THE (D301) CAN C(+) BUS CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    1. Disconnect the Star Can C Dash C12 harness connector and perform the CAN C DASH STAR CONNECTOR REMOVAL process. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
    2. Measure the resistance of the (D301) CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the Star Can C Dash C12 harness connector and the DTCM C1 harness connector.

      Is the resistances below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  6

      No 

      • Repair the (D301) CAN C(+) Bus circuit for an open.
      • Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: DTCM VERIFICATION TEST .
  6. CHECK THE (D302) CAN C(-) BUS CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    1. Measure the resistance of the (D302) CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the Star Can C Dash C12 harness connector and the DTCM C1 harness connector.

      Are the resistances below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Repair the (D302) CAN C(-) Bus circuit for an open.
      • Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to: DTCM VERIFICATION TEST .
