  - Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?
  1. Yes: GO to 2 on page 2.
  2. No: VERIFY the Body Control Module (BCM) fuse 34 (10A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.
CHECK THE Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Measure:

  - Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
  1. Yes: GO to 3 on page 3.
  2. No: REPAIR the circuit.
CHECK THE Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L) AND THE Data Link Connector (DLC) FOR AN OPEN
1. Measure:

  - Are the resistances less than 3 ohms?
  1. Yes: GO to 4 on page 4.
  2. No: REPAIR the circuit in question.
CHECK FOR CORRECT Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L) OPERATION
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect and inspect the Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L) connector.
3. Repair:
  - corrosion (replace connector or terminals - clean module pins)
  - damaged or bent pins - replace terminals/pins
  - pushed-out pins - replace pins as necessary
4. Reconnect the Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L) connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.
5. Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
  - Is the concern still present?
  1. Yes: CHECK On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) exists for this concern, discontinue this test and follow Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L). REFER to SIDE OBSTACLE DETECTION (SOD) MODULE .
  2. No: The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
