Diagnostic Test

  1. TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
      NOTE: Ensure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
    2. With the scan tool, select ECU view.
      NOTE: A red "X" will be next to the module that is not communicating, indicating that the module is not active on the Bus network. A green check indicates that the module is active on the Bus network.
      NOTE: Check the TIPM for any active CAN C hardware DTCs, perform DTC before proceeding.

      Does the scan tool display a red "X" next to the module?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

      • The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.
  2. (A931) B(+) CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
      CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install PCM Pinout Box 8815 to perform diagnosis.
    3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A931) B(+) circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  3

      No 

  3. (Z130) (Z131) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check each (Z130) and (Z131) ground circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

  4. (F20) (F901) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check each (F20) and (F901) Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. (D65) CAN C BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the TIPM C3 harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (D65) CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the TIPM connector and the appropriate terminal of the special tool #8815.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

  6. (D64) CAN C BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Measure the resistance of the (D64) CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the TIPM connector and the appropriate terminal of the special tool #8815.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      No
