- Measure the resistance between the J1939 Data Link (+) circuit at the PCM C2 harness connector and all other circuits in the PCM C1 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance between the J1939 Data Link (-) circuit at the PCM C2 harness connector and all other circuits in the PCM C1 harness connector.NOTE:
Disregard any resistance between 50 and 70 Ohms between the J1939 (+) and the J1939 Data Link (-) pins.
Is the resistance above 10k Ohms for both circuits?
Yes
- Go To 5.
No
- Repair the J1939 circuit for a short circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
- CHECK THE J1939 DATALINK CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between ground and the J1939 Data Link (+) circuit at the PCM C1 harness connector.
- Measure the resistance between ground and the J1939 Data Link (-) circuit at the PCM C1 harness connector.
Is the resistance above 10k Ohms for both circuits?
Yes
- Go To 6.
No
- Repair the J1939 circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST - 6.7L .
- DEF DOSING CONTROL UNIT
