Diagnostic Test

TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
1. Turn the ignition on.
  NOTE: Ensure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
  
  NOTE: Ensure the scan tool is updated to the latest software.
  
  NOTE: If the scan tool displays any error messages involving the CAN C Diagnostic circuits, diagnose and repair the error message before proceeding. Refer to the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC) LIST .
  
  NOTE: A loss of communication with the FCM can cause the ECU View button on the scan tool to be inoperative (not highlighted).
2. With the scan tool, attempt to select ECU view.
Q: Can the scan tool communicate with the FCM?

Yes :
- The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.
No :
- Go To 2
