No GO to Pinpoint Test D

BN4 PERFORM THE IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the IPC self-test.
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?

Yes REFER to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart .

No GO to BN5

- Using a diagnostic scan tool, check the GWM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?

Yes REFER to: Controller Area Network (CAN) Module Communications Network .

No GO to BN7

BN7 CHECK THE BELT-MINDER® CONFIGURATION

NOTE: Verify that an administrator key is used for this test and not a MyKey® programmed key. When a MyKey® programmed key is used, the Belt-Minder® is automatically turned on and cannot be disabled (if previously disabled by an administrator, the Belt-Minder® remains disabled when an administrator key is used).

Verify the Belt-Minder® is activated or configured on for the seating position in question. REFER to: Seatbelt Minder Deactivating/Activating .

Is the Belt-Minder activated for the seating position in question?

Yes	If the Belt-Minder® is always on above 10 km/h (6 mph) with the seatbelt unfastened, the system is operating correctly. If the Belt-Minder® is always on with the seatbelt fastened or never on with the seatbelt unfastened above 10 km/h (6 mph), GO to BN8

No	ACTIVATE the Belt-Minder® for the seating position in question. REFER to: Seatbelt Minder Deactivating/Activating .

BN8 CHECK FOR CORRECT RCM (RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect the RCM connector.

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 RCM connector. Make sure it seats and latches correctly.

Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

Is the concern still present?

Yes	CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles: TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new RCM. REFER to: Restraints Control Module (RCM) .

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.
