System Check

NOTE: Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart. Use only 10-megohm (minimum) DVOM for all voltage and resistance tests.
  1. Indicates if EBCM is transmitting data.
  2. Checks for serial data line malfunction.
  3. Checks for proper connection of Tech 1 scan tester to DLC.
  4. Checks multifunction alarm module fuse for open.
  5. Checks fuse No. 4 for open.
  6. Checks for high resistance in EBCM ground circuit.
  7. Checks for current codes.
  8. Checks for proper ABS warning light operation.
  9. Checks for history codes.
  10. Checks for possible short to ground in battery voltage feed circuit.
  11. Checks for possible short to ground in EBCM.
  12. Checks for short to ground in battery voltage circuit between multifunction alarm module and EBCM.
  13. Ensures short to ground is not due to physical damage of circuit.
  14. Checks for possible short to ground in switched ignition circuit.
  15. Isolates short to ground to either circuitry or EBCM.
  16. Checks for proper battery voltage at EBCM.
  17. Checks for high resistance in battery voltage feed circuit.
  18. Checks for high resistance in switched ignition circuit.
  19. Ensures malfunction is not due to poor terminal contact.
  20. Checks for high resistance in switched ignition circuit between fuse block and EBCM.
