Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- With the scan tool, read Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs and record on the repair order.
- Record the Environmental Data.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the TESTING FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- CHECK FOR VOLTAGE ON THE (F21) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT
- CHECK THE (F21) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- CHECK THE RADIO FREQUENCY (RF HUB) MODULE FOR AN INTERNAL SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the RF Hub Module C1 harness connector.
- Turn the ignition to the ACC position.
- Measure the voltage on the (F21) Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit at the BCM C8/H harness connector.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
- Repair the short to voltage in the (F21) Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 7
- CHECK THE (F21) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- CHECK THE RF HUB MODULE FOR AN INTERNAL SHORT TO GROUND
- Disconnect the RF Hub Module harness connector
- Check for continuity between ground and the (F21) Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit at the BCM C8/H harness connector.
Is there continuity between ground and the (F21) Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit?
Yes
- Repair the short to ground in the (F21) Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 7
- CHECK RELATED RF HUB MODULE HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Disconnect all RF Hub Module harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Connect all RF Hub Module harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Connect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Connect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace the Radio Frequency (RF Hub) Module in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- Test complete.
