Diagnostic Test
- TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, record and erase FCM DTC's.
- Cycle the ignition from on to off 3 times.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read active FCM DTC's.
Q: Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
Yes :
- Go To 2
No :
- The conditions that caused this code to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
- CHECK THE (D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Front Control Module C1 harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Measure the voltage between the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and ground.

Q: Is voltage above 10.0 volts?
Yes :
- Go To 3
No :
- Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or shorted circuits. If OK, replace the Front Control Module in accordance with the service information.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . (Refer to ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/MODULE - FRONT CONTROL/DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
- (D55) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
Courtesy of MITSUBISHI MOTOR SALES OF AMERICA.
- Measure the voltage between the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and ground.
- While monitoring the voltmeter, disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time.
NOTE: When performing the above step, turn the ignition off (wait one minute) before disconnecting any module. When the module is disconnected turn the ignition on to check for a short to voltage.NOTE: This is to determine if the short to voltage is internal within a module or if the circuit is shorted.NOTE: Disconnecting an in-line connector can eliminate a module or group of modules from the list of possible causes for this fault. Refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article to assist in diagnosis.Q: Is the voltage above 10.0 volts with all the CAN B Bus modules disconnected?
Yes :
- Repair the (D55) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . (Refer to ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/MODULE - FRONT CONTROL/DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
No :
- Replace the module that when disconnected the short to voltage was eliminated, in accordance with the service information.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 . (Refer to ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES/MODULE - FRONT CONTROL/DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
