Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- With the scan tool, read Display Screen Module (DSM) DTCs and record on the repair order.
- With the scan tool, erase the DTC.
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Turn the DSM on.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Is the DTC active?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Test complete.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK THE BATTERY VOLTAGE TO THE DSM
- Disconnect the DSM C1 harness connector.NOTE:
Check the DSM harness connector for signs of corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
- Measure the voltage between ground and the Fused B+ circuit at the DSM C1 harness connector.
Is the battery voltage less than 9.0 volts?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Go To 4
- Disconnect the DSM C1 harness connector.
- CHECK FOR CHARGING SYSTEM RELATED DTCS IN THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
- With the scan tool in ECU View, select PCM and check for any Charging System related DTCs.
Does the scan tool display any Charging System related DTCs?
Yes
- Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX and perform the appropriate charging system or battery DTC diagnostic procedure.
No
- Check for voltage drop concerns across the Fused B+ circuit and repair as needed.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- With the scan tool in ECU View, select PCM and check for any Charging System related DTCs.
- CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT TO THE DSM FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the DSM C1 harness connector.NOTE:
Check the DSM harness connector for signs of corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
- Measure the resistance of the ground circuit between DSM harness connector and ground.
Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Replace the Display Screen Module (DSM) in accordance with the Service information. Refer to MODULE, DISPLAY SCREEN (DSM), REMOVAL .
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Repair the ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
