Test Z: Steering & Ride Hard At All Times

  1. Check Circuit No. 430 (Gray Wire)  Disconnect Vehicle Dynamics Module (VDM) 60-pin connector. VDM is located in trunk, behind package tray. Install Breakout Box (007-00033) to VDM and wiring harness connector. Measure resistance between ground and breakout box test pins No. 6, 39, 40 and 60 (Gray wire). If all readings are less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If any reading is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Gray wire between ground and VDM. Repeat ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST and PNEUMATIC TEST under DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE  .
  2. Check Circuit No. 418 (Dark Green/Yellow Wire)  Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between test pin No. 60 (Gray wire) and test pins No. 36, 37, 56, 57 and 58 (Dark Green/Yellow wire) at breakout box. Measure voltage between test pins No. 60 (Gray wire) and No. 1 (Purple/Orange wire) at breakout box. If battery voltage is not present at any circuit, repair open in Dark Green/Yellow wire or Purple/Orange wire. Repeat ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST and PNEUMATIC TEST under DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE  . If battery voltage is present at all circuits, perform communications network diagnostics. See COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS in MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article under ACCESSORIES/SAFTETY EQUIPMENT section. If any problems are found, repeat SELF-TEST. If no problems are found, replace VDM. Repeat ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST and PNEUMATIC TEST under DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE  . Adjust riding height. See RIDING HEIGHT under ADJUSTMENTS & INSPECTION  .
