Pinpoint Test W: No Communication With The Generic Electronic Module (Gem)

CAUTION: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
  1. W1 CHECK THE GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE (GEM) POWER SUPPLY 
    • Key in OFF position.
    • Disconnect: Generic Electronic Module (GEM) C201a.
    • Disconnect: GEM C201b.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Using the following table, measure the voltage between the GEM, harness side and ground.
