Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE FCDIM  VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: FCDIM  .
    3. Ignition ON.
    4. Measure:
      FCDIM  Ground
      G08037105
      G08037106
      C2123 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      1 SBP09 (RD)
      G08037107
      - -

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    1. Yes: GO to .
    2. No: VERIFY the BCM fuse 9 (10A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the appropriate wiring diagrams to identify the possible causes of the circuit short. REFER to OEM FUSE AND RELAY INFORMATION and OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS .
  2. CHECK THE FCDIM  GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: Negative Battery Cable.
    3. Measure:
      FCDIM  Ground
      G08037108
      G08037109
      C2123 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      9 GD214 (BK/BU)
      G08037110
      - -

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes: GO to .
    2. No: REPAIR the circuit. CONNECT the negative battery cable.
  3. CHECK THE I-CAN  CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE FCDIM  AND THE IPC FOR AN OPEN
    1. Disconnect: IPC.
    2. Measure:
      FCDIM  IPC
      G08037111
      G08037112
      C2123 C220
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      4 VDB13 (BU/GY)
      G08037113
      25 VDB13 (BU/GY)
      5 VDB14 (VT/GY)
      G08037114
      26 VDB14 (VT/GY)

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes: CONNECT the negative battery cable. GO to .
    2. No: REPAIR the circuit in question. CONNECT the negative battery cable.
  4. CHECK FOR CORRECT FCDIM  OPERATION
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect and inspect the FCDIM  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 FCDIM  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 OASIS  for any applicable TSBs  . If a TSB exists for this concern, discontinue this test and follow TSB instructions. If no TSBs  address this concern, INSTALL a new FCDIM  . REFER to FRONT CONTROLS INTERFACE MODULE (FCIM) - (Premium).
    2. No: The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
