PINPOINT TEST R: DTCs C0051:23, 27, 29, 54 AND 64

  1. R1 CHECK FOR DTCs IN THE RCM  , PSCM OR SCCM 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Using a scan tool, carry out the Network Test.

    Are any DTCs present in the RCM  , PSCM or SCCM 

  2. R2 CHECK THE ABS MODULE DTCs 
    • Review the ABS module DTCs retrieved during the Network Test in the previous step.

    Are ABS module DTCs C0061:xx, C0062:xx, C0063:xx or U0074:88 present in the ABS module? 

    • Yes  : GO to PINPOINT TEST H .
    • No  : If there are any communication (U-Code) DTCs present in the ABS module, DIAGNOSE those before diagnosing any C0051:xx DTCs.

      If there are any C0051:xx DTCs present, GO to R3  .

      For all other ABS module DTCs, REFER to the ABS MODULE DTC CHART .

      If no DTCs are present in the ABS module, GO to  R4.

  3. R3 CENTER THE STEERING WHEEL ROTATION SENSOR 
    • Center the clockspring and steering wheel rotation sensor. Refer to the Clockspring Adjustment general procedure in SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
    • Test drive the vehicle at speeds greater than 20 km/h (12 mph) and make at least 1 left turn and 1 right turn.
    • Using a scan tool, carry out the ABS module self-test.

    Are there are C0051:xx DTCs present in the ABS module? 

    • Yes  : GO to  R9.
    • No  : The concern is not present and cannot be recreated at this time. The DTC may have been set due to an off center steering wheel rotation sensor.
  4. R4 CHECK THE ABS MODULE YAW RATE (YAW_RATE) PID 
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: DataLogger - ABS Module.
    • Read and record the YAW_RATE PID  with the vehicle on level ground and at a complete standstill.
    • Monitor the YAW_RATE PID  while rocking and shaking the vehicle.

    Is the YAW_RATE PID value between -0.05 and 0.05 with the vehicle at a standstill and does the PID fluctuate when the vehicle is moved? 

    • Yes  : GO to R5  .
    • No  : GO to  R8.
  5. R5 CHECK THE ABS MODULE LATERAL ACCELERATION (LAT_ACCL) PID 
    • Read and record the LAT_ACCL PID  with the vehicle on level ground and at a complete standstill.
    • Monitor the LAT_ACCL PID  while rocking and shaking the vehicle.

    Is the LAT_ACCL PID value between -0.4 and 0.4 with the vehicle at a standstill and does the PID fluctuate when the vehicle is moved? 

    • Yes  : GO to R6  .
    • No  : GO to  R8.
  6. R6 CHECK THE ABS MODULE LONGITUDINAL ACCELERATION (LONG_ACCL) PID 
    • Read and record the LONG_ACCL PID  with the vehicle on level ground and at a complete standstill.
    • Monitor the LONG_ACCL PID  while rocking and shaking the vehicle.

    Is the LONG_ACCL PID value between -0.4 and 0.4 with the vehicle at a standstill and does the PID fluctuate when the vehicle is moved? 

    • Yes  : GO to R7  .
    • No  : GO to  R8.
  7. R7 CHECK THE ABS MODULE ROLL RATE (ROLL_RATE) PID 
    • Read and record the ROLL_RATE PID  with the vehicle on level ground and at a complete standstill.
    • Monitor the ROLL_RATE PID  while rocking and shaking the vehicle.

    Is the ROLL_RATE PID value between -0.5 and 0.5 with the vehicle at a standstill and does the PID fluctuate when the vehicle is moved? 

    • Yes  : GO to  R9.
    • No  : GO to R8  .
  8. R8 CHECK THE RCM INSTALLATION AND MOUNTING SURFACE 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • If not previously directed to do so, depower the SRS  . Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering in SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
    • Inspect the RCM  installation and make sure that the fasteners are fully seated and tightened correctly. Refer to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
    • Inspect the mounting surface for damage, corrosion or foreign material.

    Is the RCM installed correctly and is the mounting surface clean and free from damage? 

    • Yes  : GO to  R10.
    • No  : REPAIR or INSTALL new as necessary. REPOWER the SRS  . REFER to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering in SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
  9. R9 CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT FAULT CONDITION 
    • Disconnect: RCM C310A  .
    • Disconnect: RCM C310B  .
    • Disconnect: SCCM C2414A  .
    • Disconnect: SCCM C2414B  .
    • Disconnect: ABS Module C135  .
    • Remove the steering wheel rotation sensor. Refer to STEERING WHEEL ROTATION SENSOR .
      • inspect the connectors (including any in-line connectors) for corrosion, loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.
      • inspect the wire harnesses for any damage, pinched, cut or pierced wires.
      • repair any concerns found.

        Refer to OEM CONNECTOR REPAIR PROCEDURES for schematic and connector information.

    • Install the steering wheel rotation sensor. Refer to STEERING WHEEL ROTATION SENSOR .

    • Repower the SRS  . Do not  prove out the SRS  at this time. Refer to Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Depowering and Repowering in SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
    • Perform a road test.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self Test - ABS Module.

    Is the concern still present? 

    • Yes  : INSTALL a new steering wheel rotation sensor. REFER to STEERING WHEEL ROTATION SENSOR . CLEAR all CMDTCs  . PERFORM a road test. REPEAT the ABS module self test.

      If the concern is still present, GO to R10  .

      If other DTCs are present, REFER to the appropriate DTC CHART .

    • No  : The concern is not present and cannot be recreated at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic, an intermittent fault condition or a loose or corroded connector. Do not install any new SRS components at this time  . SRS components should only be installed when directed to do so in the pinpoint test  .
  10. R10 CHECK THE RCM FOR CORRECT OPERATION

    • Prior to reconnecting any previously disconnected SRS  component:
      • inspect the connectors (including any in-line connectors) for pushed-out, loose or spread terminals and loose or frayed wire connections at terminals.
      • inspect the wire harness for any damage, pinched, cut or pierced wires.
      • inspect RCM  C310A and C310B CPA  lever/lock for correct operation. Refer to RCM  in SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
      • repair any concerns found.

        Refer to OEM CONNECTOR REPAIR PROCEDURES for schematic and connector information.

    Is the concern still present? 

    • Yes  : INSTALL a new RCM  . REFER to SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM .
    • No  : The concern is not present and cannot be recreated at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic, an intermittent fault condition or a loose or corroded connector.
