Diagnostic Test
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION NOTE:
Check for any TSB(s) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing.
- Turn the ignition on.NOTE:
Make sure the battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.
- With the scan tool, read the module status.NOTE:
Check the BCM for any active CAN hardware DTCs, perform DTC before proceeding.
Does the scan tool indicate that the module is active on the bus?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - BODY VERIFICATION TEST - 500 - ELECTRIC .
- Turn the ignition on.
- CHECK THE FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR SHORT
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the VTM harness connector.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the Fused B(+) circuit.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Repair the open or short in the Fused B(+) circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - BODY VERIFICATION TEST - 500 - ELECTRIC .
- CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the Ground circuit.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Repair the open in the Ground circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - BODY VERIFICATION TEST - 500 - ELECTRIC .
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the Ground circuit.
- CHECK THE CAN B BUS CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Measure the resistance of the CAN B Bus (-) circuit between the VTM harness connector and the BCM harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the CAN B Bus (+) circuit between the VTM harness connector and the BCM harness connector.
Is resistance below 5.0 Ohms on both circuits?
Yes
- Replace the VTM in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - BODY VERIFICATION TEST - 500 - ELECTRIC .
No
- Repair the open in the CAN B Bus circuit. Inspect the connector for damage.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - BODY VERIFICATION TEST - 500 - ELECTRIC .
