Pinpoint Test Ag: U0253:00

AG1 VERIFY THE CUSTOMER CONCERN

Ignition ON.

Verify there is an observable symptom present.

Is an observable symptom present?

Yes

GO to AG2

No	CLEAR the DTC. The system is operating normally at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.

AG2 CHECK THE COMMUNICATION NETWORK
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the network test.
Does the APIM pass the network test?

Yes GO to AG3

No Refer to: Communications Network .

AG3 PERFORM THE PAM (PARKING ASSIST CONTROL MODULE) SELF-TEST

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the PAM self-test.

Are any non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?

Yes	DIAGNOSE all non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Refer to DTC Chart: Parking Aid Module (PAM) .

GO to AG4

AG4 CHECK THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, check the GWM Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs).
Are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) recorded?

Yes Refer to: Communications Network .

No GO to AG5

AG5 PERFORM THE APIM (SYNC MODULE) SELF-TEST
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the APIM self-test.
Are any non-network Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) present?

Yes Refer to: Information and Entertainment System .

No GO to AG6

AG6 RECHECK THE PAM (PARKING ASSIST CONTROL MODULE) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS)

Using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the PAM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

Ignition OFF.

Ignition ON.

Wait 10 seconds.

Using a diagnostic scan tool, perform the continuous memory self-test.

Check the PAM Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

Is DTC U0253:00 present?

Yes

GO to AG7

No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic, or an intermittent fault condition.

AG7 CHECK FOR OTHER CAUSES OF COMMUNICATION NETWORK CONCERN

NOTE: If new modules were installed prior to the DTC being set, the module configuration can be incorrectly set during the PMI, or the PMI may not have been carried out.

CHECK the vehicle service history for recent service actions related to the APIM, GWM or PAM. If recent service history is found:
- verify correct replacement module was installed
  - vehicle parts build may be used to verify correct part fitment
- verify the configuration of replacement module was correct
  - re-configure module using as-built data if prior configuration is suspect
- verify the module was not obtained from a like vehicle and installed into customer vehicle
  - return the swapped module to source vehicle and obtain new replacement module
  - if a new replacement module is installed, PERFORM PMI using as-built data

Operate the system and determine if the observable symptom is still present.

Is the observable symptom still present?

Yes

GO to AG8

No	The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been due to incorrect parts replacement procedures or incorrect module configuration.

AG8 CHECK FOR CORRECT APIM (SYNC MODULE) OPERATION

Ignition OFF.

Disconnect and inspect the APIM and all related in-line 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 APIM and all related in-line 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 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, refer to APIM GUIDED ROUTINE

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.
