PCM MESSAGES NOT RECEIVED - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
| TEST | ACTION |
|---|---|
| 1 | Turn the ignition on. With the DRB, enter Body Computer, System Tests then PCM Monitor. Does the DRB display: PCM is active on BUS?
|
| 2 | Turn the ignition on. With the DRB, attempt to communicate with the PCM. Was the DRB able to communicate with the PCM?
|
| 3 | Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
CAUTION:
IF NGC, 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 MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS. Disconnect the DRBIII(R) from the DLC. Measure the resistance of the PCI Bus circuit between the PCM connector (from special tool #8815 if NGC) and the DLC. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
