Diagnostic procedure

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 INSPECT POWER SUPPLY (SYSTEM) CIRCUIT 
  • Measure the voltage at the DSC HU/CM connector terminal AF (vehicle harness side) and body ground.
    • Ignition switch OFF: 1 V or less
    • Ignition switch ON (engine off): B+
  • Is the voltage normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between ignition switch and DSC HU/CM terminal AF (vehicle harness side).
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 

  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a open circuit.

Go to Step 8.
2 VERIFY OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT IN BRAKE SWITCH SIGNAL 
  • Measure the voltage between the PCM connector terminal 2G (vehicle harness-side) and body ground when the brake pedal is depressed and released.
    • Brake pedal depressed: B+
    • Brake pedal released: 1 V or less
  • Is the voltage normal?
Yes Go to the Step 8.
No If it is B+  under any condition, then go to the next step.
If it is 1 V or less  under any condition, then go to Step 4.
3 INSPECT BRAKE SWITCH SIGNAL FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
  • Disconnect the brake switch connector.
  • Measure voltage between the brake switch connector terminal D (vehicle harness-side) and body ground.
  • Is the voltage 1 V or less  ?
Yes Go to Step 4.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between PCM connector terminal 2G (vehicle harness-side) and brake switch connector terminal D (vehicle harness side).
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to power supply.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 

  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to power supply.

Go to Step 8.
4 INSPECT BRAKE SWITCH SIGNAL FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Disconnect the PCM connectors.
  • Inspect continuity between the PCM connector terminal 2G (vehicle harness-side) and brake switch connector terminal D (vehicle harness-side).
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between PCM connector terminal 2G (vehicle harness-side) and brake switch connector terminal D (vehicle harness side).
If there is a common connector: 
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

If there is no common connector: 

  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 8.
5 INSPECT BRAKE SWITCH 
Yes Go to the next step.
No Replace the brake switch, then go to Step 8.
(See BRAKE PEDAL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
6 VERIFY REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM) DTC 
Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM)] .)
DTC troubleshooting completed, then go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
7 VERIFY PCM DTC 
Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .)
DTC troubleshooting completed, then go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
8 VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED 
Yes Repeat the inspection from Step1.
No Go to the next step.
9 VERIFY NO DTC IS PRESENT 
  • Are any DTCs present?
Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE [DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)] .)
No DTC troubleshooting completed.
