Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC NOTE:
Check for any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Test complete, the condition or conditions that originally set this DTC are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagrams as a guide, check all related splices and connectors for signs of water intrusion, corrosion, pushed out or bent terminals, and correct pin tension.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- MEASURE VOLTAGE AT THE DLC
- Disconnect the scan tool.
- Measure the voltage between ground and the CAN B Bus circuits.
Does the voltage read approximately 4.65 - 4.98 volts on the (D42) CAN B Bus (-) and 0.39 - 0.46 volts on the (D41) CAN B (+) circuits?
Yes
- Go To 3
No - Voltage Between 0.3 - 0.7 Volt on Both Circuits
- Go To 9
No - Voltage Reads 0 Volts on Either Circuit
- Go To 7
No - Voltage Above 10 Volts on Either Circuit
- Go To 5
- CHECK THE (D41) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Turn the ignition on.
- Reconnect the scan tool.
- With the scan tool, view the modules.
- Using a fused jumper wire, connect one end to ground and with the other end backprobe the (D41) CAN B Bus (+) circuit at the DLC harness connector.NOTE:
This may cause some modules to no longer communicate on the Bus.
Are some modules no longer communicating?
Yes
- Using the Wiring Diagrams to further isolate the open in the circuit, repair the (D41) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 4
- CHECK THE (D42) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Remove the fused jumper wire.
- Using a fused jumper wire, connect one end to ground and with the other end backprobe the (D42) CAN B Bus (-) circuit at the DLC harness connector.NOTE:
This may cause some modules to no longer communicate on the Bus.
Are some modules no longer communicating?
Yes
- Using the Wiring Diagrams to further isolate the open in the circuit, repair the (D42) CAN B Bus (-) circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage. If OK, replace and program the module that set this DTC in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK THE (D41) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the scan tool from the DLC.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Measure the voltage between the (D41) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and ground.
Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?
Yes
- Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the voltage to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the Service Information, that when disconnected eliminates the short to voltage. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the (D41) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 6
- CHECK THE (D42) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Measure the voltage between the (D42) CAN B Bus (-) circuit and ground.
Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?
Yes
- Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the voltage to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the Service Information, that when disconnected eliminates the short to voltage. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the (D42) CAN B Bus (-) circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage. If OK, replace and program the module that set this DTC in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the appropriate verification test for the module being replaced. If there is no verification test for the associated module Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- Measure the voltage between the (D42) CAN B Bus (-) circuit and ground.
- CHECK THE (D41) CAN B BUS (+) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the scan tool from the DLC.
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (D41) CAN B Bus (+) circuit.
Is the resistance above 1000.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go To 8
No
- Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the resistance to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the Service Information, that when disconnected eliminates the short to ground. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the (D41) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK THE (D42) CAN B BUS (-) CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (D42) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
Is the resistance above 1000.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage. If OK, replace and program the module that set this DTC in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the appropriate verification test for the module being replaced. If there is no verification test for the associated module Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No

- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the scan tool from the DLC.
- Measure the resistance between the (D41) CAN B Bus (+) circuit and (D42) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
Is the resistance below 1000.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Disconnect each CAN B Bus module one at a time while observing the resistance to determine if the short is caused by an internal short within a module. Replace the module, in accordance with the Service Information, that when disconnected eliminates the short between the two circuits. If the short condition is still present with all CAN B Bus modules disconnected use the Wiring Diagrams to help isolate and repair the (D41) CAN B Bus (+) circuit for a short to the (D42) CAN B Bus (-) circuit.
