No GO to BG5

BG5 PERFORM THE BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the BCM self-test.
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?

Yes REFER to: Body Control Module (BCM)

No GO to BG6

BG6 PERFORM THE RCM (RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the RCM self-test.
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?

Yes REFER to: Airbag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

No GO to BG7

BG7 CHECK THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- 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 BG8

BG8 CHECK THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT BUCKLE SWITCH
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, monitor the RCM driver and front passenger seatbelt buckle Parameter Identifications (PIDs) (DRBELTST) and (PBELTST) while buckling and unbuckling the seatbelt.
Do the Parameter Identifications (PIDs) display BUCKLED with the seatbelt buckled and UNBUCKLED with the seatbelt unbuckled?

Yes GO to BG9

No INSTALL a new seatbelt buckle. REFER to: Front Seatbelt Buckle

BG9 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), INSTALL a new RCM. REFER to: Restraints Control Module (RCM)

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

BG10 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPC (INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER) OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect the IPC 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 IPC 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 or SSM, 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 IPC. REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

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.
