Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  This test checks if communications can be established between the scan tool and the BCM.
  2. 3:  This test checks for any opens in the serial data circuit between the PCM and the BCM. This also checks for any intermittent malfunctions associated with the serial data circuit.
  3. 4:  This step is to determine if the condition that set the DTC is still present. The engine must be cranked in order to set this DTC. If the condition is present, the engine will start and then stall, indicating the PCM is disabling fuel.
  4. 7:  Use a scan tool to clear and check for any DTCs in all the modules connected to the class 2 serial data circuit, such as the PCM, BCM, and automatic temperature control (ATC).
