Pinpoint Test D: P2535

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. D1 CHECK FOR PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) DTCS 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform PCM self-test.

      Is PCM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P2535 present? 

      1. Yes:  GO to D2 
      2. No  : For all other PCM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs),

        REFER to: Electronic Engine Controls  ( ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS ).

  2. D2 CHECK THE CRANK DETECT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE WITH THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) DISCONNECTED 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect PCM C1381B  .
    • Ignition ON.

      -

      Is any voltage present? 

      1. Yes:  GO to D5 
      2. No  : Replace the RFA module,

        REFER to: Remote Function Actuator (RFA) Module  ( REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR (RFA) MODULE ).

  5. D5 CHECK THE CRANK DETECT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE WITH THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) DISCONNECTED 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect BCM C2280C  .
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:

      Click to display connectors 

      Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead

      -

      Is any voltage present? 

      1. Yes:  Repair the circuit.
      2. No  : Replace the BCM.

        REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM)  ( BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) ).

    • D6 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION 
      • Ignition OFF.
      • Disconnect and inspect all PCM connectors.
      • Repair:
        • corrosion (install new connectors or terminals - clean module pins)
        • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
        • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the PCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Reconnect all connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Check and replace BCM fuse 78 if necessary.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    1. Yes:  CHECK OASIS  for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new PCM.

      REFER to: Powertrain Control Module (PCM)  ( POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) ).

    2. No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
