Normal Operation
- The smart junction box (SJB) is also known as the generic electronic module (GEM).
The instrument cluster receives the TPMS status from the SJB/GEM over the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN) communication bus. If the TPMS detects a fault condition, the TPMS warning indicator flashes for 30 seconds then turns off until the next ignition cycle. If the TPMS is in TPMS sensor training mode, the TPMS warning indicator flashes continuously until the TPMS sensor training session has ended. See TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) . The instrument cluster sets DTC U2023 in continuous memory if the TPMS message is missing or the data is invalid for more than 5 seconds and the instrument cluster flashes the TPMS warning indicator for 60 seconds and then turns the TPMS warning indicator on.
DTC U0140 (Lost Communication With the Body Control Module [GEM]) - is a continuous DTC that sets in the instrument cluster if the door ajar status message is missing for more than 5 seconds and the instrument cluster turns on the door ajar warning indicator.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- SJB/GEM
- Instrument cluster
| PINPOINT TEST 24 | THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) WARNING INDICATOR IS NEVER/ALWAYS ON | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION | |
| 1 |
NOTE:
RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND SJB/GEM SELF-TESTS
|
Yes | See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX . |
| No | Go to next step. | ||
| 2 | RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND ON-DEMAND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SELF-TESTS
|
Yes | CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If DTC U0140 is retrieved again, go to next step. |
| No | Go to step 4. | ||
| 3 | CHECK THE NETWORK OPERATION
|
Yes | Go to step 5. |
| No | DIAGNOSE the module communication network. See PINPOINT TEST 5: NO CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) COMMUNICATION . | ||
| 4 | CARRY OUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INDICATOR LAMP CONTROL ACTIVE COMMAND USING THE SCAN TOOL
|
Yes | Go to next step. |
| No | Go to step 6. | ||
| 5 | CHECK FOR CORRECT SJB/GEM OPERATION
|
Yes | INSTALL a new SJB/GEM. See SMART JUNCTION BOX (SJB) . TEST the system for normal operation. |
| No | The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. | ||
| 6 | CHECK FOR CORRECT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OPERATION
|
Yes | INSTALL a new instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . TEST the system for normal operation. |
| No | The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. | ||
