Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    NOTE: Remove any electronic devices (laptop computers, cell phones) from the instrument panel.
    NOTE: Before proceeding, check the compass variance and calibration in accordance with the Service Information.
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
    3. Wait 30 seconds.
    4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

      • The condition that caused this code to set is not present at this time. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
      • Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Totally Integrated Power (TIPM) - Standard Procedure

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Compass Module harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage of the (D506) LIN BUS circuit.

      Is the voltage above 5 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  4

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. (D506) LIN BUS CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Instrument Cluster C2 harness connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the (D506) LIN BUS circuit.

      Is the resistance below 10K ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

  4. (F921) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN) CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F921) Fused Ignition Switch Output (RUN) circuit at the Compass Module harness connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. (Z916) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z916) Ground circuit at the Compass Module harness connector.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      No
