    Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    Ethernet Cable Testing At Cable End 

    GFD640749Courtesy of FORD MOTOR COMPANY

    To test the Ethernet cable in question at the GWM, the cable must be removed from the GWM master connector to gain access to the connector pins where probing can take place (refer to the illustration above).

    The Ethernet cable connector end identification color can be used to identify the module the Ethernet cable is connected to. Refer to the chart in the Description and Operation for the color assignment. REFER to: Ethernet Module Communications Network - System Operation and Component Description .

    Yes  GO to  B5
    No  The module reset has resolved the concern.

  6. B5 CHECK THE ETHERNET CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

    NOTE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.

    • Ignition OFF.

    • Disconnect the GWM Ethernet cable master connector.

    • Disconnect the suspect module Ethernet cable from the GWM Ethernet master connector to enable efficient probing. Refer to the instruction at the beginning of this pinpoint test.

    • Disconnect the suspect module Ethernet cable connector (APIM or TCU).

    • Disassemble the suspect module Ethernet cable connector as shown at the start of this pinpoint test to enable probing of the Ethernet cable. Refer to the instruction at the beginning of this pinpoint test.
