F2 CHECK THE HALL-EFFECT SENSOR POWER AND RETURN CIRCUITS

NOTE: Use a meter with a min-max feature or recording capabilities to obtain accurate measurements. The RBM disables the voltage output immediately if the PRB motor is not present.

Ignition ON.

Make sure the PRB is set to AUTO in the vehicle message center.

Close all vehicle doors.

Connect the meter to the RH PRB motor electrical connector, harness side.

Set the meter to measure DC (direct current) voltage.

Set the meter range to greater than 15 volts.

Enable the min-max or recording feature on the meter.

NOTE: Make sure all test connections are made at the PRB motor before the door is opened.

Open any RH side door.

Measure:

Positive Lead	Measurement / Action	Negative Lead

Is the voltage between 7 and 10.5 volts?

Yes

GO to F7

No	If the voltage was less than 7 volts, GO to F3If the voltage was greater than 10.5 volts, GO to F6

F3 CHECK HALL-EFFECT SENSOR POWER CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE

NOTE: Use a meter with a min-max feature or recording capabilities to obtain accurate measurements. The RBM disables the voltage output immediately if the PRB motor is not present.

Close all vehicle doors.

Connect the meter to the RH PRB motor electrical connector, harness side.

Set the meter to measure DC (direct current) voltage.

Set the meter range to greater than 15 volts.

Enable the min-max or recording feature on the meter.

NOTE: Make sure all test connections are made at the PRB motor before the door is opened.

Open any RH side door.

Is the resistance less than 3 ohms between the PRB motor and RBM; and greater than 10, 000 ohms between the PRB motor and ground?

Yes	For DTC C1009:93, REPLACE the RH PRB motor. REFER to:Power Running Board (PRB) . For DTC C1008:93, REPLACE the LH PRB motor. REFER to:Power Running Board (PRB) .

No	REPAIR the circuit.

F9 CHECK THE RBM (RUNNING BOARD CONTROL MODULE) FOR CORRECT OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect All PRB system and related in-line connectors.

Check for:
- corrosion - install new connector or terminals and clean module pins
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals or pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Connect all PRB system and related in-line connectors and make sure they seat correctly.

Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new RBM. REFER to:Power Running Board (PRB) .

No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
