- Turn ignition off. Disconnect RAP module Black 26-pin connector C256 located behind left side of instrument panel. See Fig 1 . Inspect connector C256 and Data Link Connector (DLC) C228 for physical damage, bent terminals or corrosion. Repair as necessary and retest system. If connectors are okay, go to next step.
- Measure resistance of Light Blue/White wire between RAP module connector C256, terminal No. 3 and DLC C228, terminal No. 7. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, go to step 4).
- Reconnect RAP module connector C256. Perform data link diagnostics. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS under COMMUNICATION NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS. If RAP module responds to NGS tester, system is functioning properly. If RAP module does not respond to NGS tester, replace RAP module and retest system.

- Measure resistance of Light Blue/White wire between RAP module connector C256, terminal No. 3 and in-line connector C247 (male half), terminal No. 16. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair open in Light Blue/White wire between female half of in-line connector C247 and DLC C228. Retest system. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Light Blue/White wire between RAP module connector C256 and male half of in-line connector C247. Retest system.
