    Possible Sources 

    • Inverter System Controller (ISC)
    • Wiring, terminals or connectors

  2. CE1 CARRY OUT THE NETWORK TEST

    NOTE: Do not use dielectric grease in the Inverter System Controller (ISC) connector.

    • Note:  When using FDRS, the scan tool attempts to communicate with the PCM first. After establishing communication with the PCM, the scan tool then attempts to communicate with all modules on the vehicle. If an FDRS session cannot be established, FDRS may state no communication can be established with the PCM:

      • Choose No when the scan tool prompts whether or not to retry communication.
      • Enter a PCM part number, tear tag or calibration number to identify the vehicle and start a session. The PCM part number and 4- character tear tag are located on the PCM.

    • Ignition ON.

      • While driving
      • Temperature of vehicle

    • Attempt to duplicate the concern.
