Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE RFA MODULE VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect: RFA module C2153C (Blue hardshell).
    3. Ignition ON.
    4. Measure:
      RFA Module Ground
      G08037360
      G08037361
      C2153C (blue hardshell) Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      1 SBP23 (WH/RD)
      G08037362
      - -
      5 SBP27 (BU)
      G08037363
      - -

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    1. Yes: GO to .
    2. No: VERIFY the BCM fuses 23 (15A) and 27 (20A) are OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit in question. 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 RFA MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Measure:
      RFA Module Ground
      G08037364
      G08037365
      C2153C (blue hardshell) Ground
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      3 GD214 (BK/BU)
      G08037366
      - -

    Is the resistance less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes: GO to .
    2. No: REPAIR the circuit in question.
  3. CHECK THE MS-CAN  CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE RFA MODULE AND THE DLC FOR AN OPEN
    1. Disconnect: RFA module C2153E (Brown hardshell).
    2. Measure:
      RFA Module DLC
      G08037367
      G08037368
      C2153E (brown hardshell) C251
      Pin Circuit Measurement Pin Circuit
      5 VDB06 (GY/OG)
      G08037369
      3 VDB06 (GY/OG)
      4 VDB07 (VT/OG)
      G08037370
      11 VDB07 (VT/OG)

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes: GO to .
    2. No: REPAIR the circuit in question.
  4. CHECK FOR CORRECT RFA MODULE OPERATION
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Disconnect and inspect the RFA module connectors.
    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 RFA module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch 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 RFA module. REFER to REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR (RFA) MODULE .
    2. No: The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
