Diagnostic Test

1. Turn the ignition on.
   NOTE: Ensure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
2. With the scan tool, select ECU view.
   NOTE: A red X will be next to the module that is not communicating, indicating that the module is not active on the Bus network. A green check indicates that the module is active on the Bus network.
   NOTE: Check the FCM for any active CAN C hardware DTCs, perform DTC before proceeding.

Q: Does the scan tool display a red X next to the module? 

Yes  :

• Go To 2

No  :

• 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.

1. With the scan tool in ECU view, observe the status of the PCM.

Q: Does the scan tool display a red X next to the PCM? 

Yes  :

• Refer to the NO RESPONSE  From PCM test procedure.

No  :

• Go To 3

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the PCM C4 harness connector.
   CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.
3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check each (Z908), (Z977), and (Z904) ground circuits.

Q: Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit? 

Yes  :

• Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the service information.
• Perform (NGC) POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5.

No  :

• Repair the ground circuit for an open.
• Perform the appropriate TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST.
