.
If not equipped with a TBC module, GO to 3.
- No: INSTALL a new stoplamp switch. REFER to Stoplamp Switch .
- CHECK THE TBC MODULE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: TBC Module.
- Ignition ON.
Do the stoplamps continue to illuminate?
- Yes: GO to 3 .
- No: INSTALL a new TBC module.
- CHECK THE PCM
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: PCM C175B.
- Ignition ON.
Do the stoplamps continue to illuminate?
- CHECK THE RFA MODULE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: RFA Module C2153C.
- Ignition ON.
Do the stoplamps continue to illuminate?
- Yes: GO to 5 .
- No: GO to 9.
- CHECK THE BCM STOPLAMP SWITCH INPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: BCM C2280B.
- Ignition ON.
- Measure:
BCM Ground C2280B Ground Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit 28 CCB08 (VT/WH) - Ground
Is any voltage present?
- Yes: REPAIR the circuit.
- No: GO to 6 .
- CHECK THE BCM TBC MODULE OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Measure:
BCM Ground C2280B Ground Pin Circuit Measurement / Action Pin Circuit 4 CBP31 (BU/OG) - Ground
Is any voltage present?
- Yes: REPAIR the circuit.
- No: GO to 7 .
- Measure:
- CHECK THE BCM STOPLAMP OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: BCM C2280D.
- Ignition ON.
Do the stoplamps continue to illuminate?
- Yes: REPAIR the circuit.
- No: GO to 10.
- CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all PCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the PCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes: CHECK OASIS
for any applicable TSBs
. If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs
address this concern, INSTALL a new PCM:
REFER to POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) - 2.0L GTDI , or
- No: The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
- CHECK FOR CORRECT RFA MODULE OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all RFA module connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the RFA module connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes: CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, INSTALL a new RFA module. REFER to REMOTE FUNCTION ACTUATOR (RFA) MODULE .
- No: The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
- CHECK FOR CORRECT BCM OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all BCM connectors.
- Repair:
- corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- Reconnect the BCM connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
- Yes: CHECK OASIS for any applicable TSBs . If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no TSBs address this concern, Install a new BCM. REFER to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - WITHOUT INTELLIGENT ACCESS (IA) , or REFER to BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) - WITH INTELLIGENT ACCESS (IA) .
- No: The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
