- Ignition OFF, disconnect and remove the J 38715-A and adapter. See Special Tools . Then remove the SDM connector, refer to SDM replacement in Repair Instructions for connector location.
- Test the high and low circuits between the SDM and I/P module for a short to voltage, short to ground, or open/low resistance. Verify that a short to voltage, short to ground, or open/low resistance does not exist.
- If any of the above conditions are found make the appropriate repair.
- If all circuits test normal then replace the SDM.
