Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE FCIM VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: FCIM.
    3. Ignition ON.
    4. Measure:
      FCIM Ground
      G08037350
      G08037351
      C2402 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      1 SBP09 (RD)
      G08037352
      - -

    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 FCIM GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Measure:
      FCIM Ground
      G08037353
      G08037354
      C2402 Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      6 GD214 (BK/BU)
      G08037355
      - -

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes: GO to .
    2. No: REPAIR the circuit.
  3. CHECK THE I-CAN  CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE FCIM AND THE IPC FOR AN OPEN
    1. Disconnect: IPC.
    2. Measure:
      FCIM IPC
      G08037356
      G08037357
      C2402 C220
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      2 VDB13 (BU/GY)
      G08037358
      25 VDB13 (BU/GY)
      3 VDB14 (VT/GY)
      G08037359
      26 VDB14 (VT/GY)

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes: GO to .
    2. No: REPAIR the circuit in question.
  4. CHECK FOR CORRECT FCIM OPERATION
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect and inspect the FCIM 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 FCIM 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 FCIM:

      REFER to FRONT CONTROLS INTERFACE MODULE (FCIM) - (Premium),

      REFER to FRONT CONTROLS INTERFACE MODULE (FCIM) - (Premium Plus), or

      REFER to FRONT CONTROLS INTERFACE MODULE (FCIM) - (Sony® Sound).

    2. No: The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
