Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Buick LaCrosse and 2008 Buick Allure. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Use the DTC Descriptor list above to determine the module which is not communicating.
Some modules may not have internal protection for specific voltage outputs and may open a battery positive voltage or ignition voltage source fuse. If a voltage input fuse is open and no short is found in that circuit, ensure that no module output voltage circuit is shorted to ground before replacing the module.
This diagnostic can be used for any module that should communicate with Class 2 serial data providing the vehicle is equipped with the option that uses that module.
