Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Repair the (Z906) Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- With a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, check the (Z906) Ground circuit at the RF Hub Module C1 harness connector.
- CHECK THE (D1) CAN C BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
- Measure the voltage between ground and the (D1) CAN C Bus (+) circuit at the RF Hub Module C1 harness connector.
Is the voltage below 2.5 volts?
Yes
- Repair the (D1) CAN C Bus (+) circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 5
- Measure the voltage between ground and the (D1) CAN C Bus (+) circuit at the RF Hub Module C1 harness connector.
- CHECK THE (D2) CAN C BUS (-) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
- Measure the voltage between ground and the (D2) CAN C Bus (-) circuit at the RF Hub Module C1 harness connector.
Is the voltage below 1.3 volts?
Yes
- Repair the (D2) CAN C Bus (-) circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 6
- Measure the voltage between ground and the (D2) CAN C Bus (-) circuit at the RF Hub Module C1 harness connector.
- CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Disconnect all RF Hub 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.
- Reconnect all RF Hub Module harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect 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 Vehicle Scan Report, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read RF Hub DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace the Radio Frequency Hub (RF Hub) Module in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, RADIO FREQUENCY (RF HUB), REMOVAL .
- If this vehicle is equipped with a Steering Column Lock Module (BUX), it must also be replaced in accordance with the Service Information. When replacing the RF-Hub and the Steering Column Lock Module, the RF-Hub MUST be programmed BEFORE the Steering Column Lock Module (ELV) is programmed.
- Replace the Steering Column Lock Module (ELV/ESCL) in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the RADIO FREQUENCY HUB VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to RADIO FREQUENCY (RF HUB) VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- Test complete.
