Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
    3. Wait 30 seconds.
    4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

      • The condition that caused this code to set is not present at this time. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chaffed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure .

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Compass Module harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage of the (D506) LIN BUS circuit.

      Is the voltage above 5 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. (D506) LIN BUS CIRCUIT OPEN 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Cluster C3 harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (D506) LIN BUS circuit.

      Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

  4. (F929) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN) CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Measure the voltage of the (F929) Fused Ignition Switch Output (RUN) circuit.

      Is the voltage above 10 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. (Z906) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (Z906) Ground circuit.

      Is the resistance below 10K Ohms?

      Yes 

      No
