Step	Inspection		Action
1	VERIFY REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM) DTCs AGAIN Clear rear body control module (RBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM)] .) Perform the DTC inspection for the rear body control module (RBCM) using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM)] .) Is DTC B109E:87 displayed?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Go to Step 8.
2	INSPECT START STOP UNIT CONNECTOR CONDITION Switch the ignition to off. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .) Disconnect the start stop unit connector. Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection. Is the connector normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
2		No	Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.
3	INSPECT REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM) CONNECTOR CONDITION Disconnect the rear body control module (RBCM) connector. Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection. Is the connector normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 7.
4	INSPECT START STOP UNIT CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND Verify that the rear body control module (RBCM) connector and start stop unit connector are disconnected. Inspect for continuity between start stop unit terminal 1Q (vehicle wiring harness side) and body ground. Is there continuity?	Yes	Repair or replace the wiring harness which is shorted to ground, then go to Step 7.
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	INSPECT START STOP UNIT CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT Verify that the rear body control module (RBCM) connector and start stop unit connector are disconnected. Inspect the wiring harness for an open circuit between rear body control module (RBCM) terminal 3B (vehicle wiring harness side) and start stop unit terminal 1Q (vehicle wiring harness side). Is there continuity?	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit, then go to Step 7.
6	INSPECT START STOP UNIT Inspect the start stop unit. (See START STOP UNIT INSPECTION .) Is the start stop unit normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
6		No	Replace the start stop unit, then go to the next step. (See START STOP UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
7	VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED Reconnect all the disconnected connectors. Reconnect the disconnected negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .) Clear rear body control module (RBCM) DTCs using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM)] .) Perform the DTC inspection for the rear body control module (RBCM) using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM)] .) Is DTC B109E:87 displayed?	Yes	Repeat the inspection from Step 1. If the malfunction recurs, replace the rear body control module (RBCM), then go to the next step. (See REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED Are any other DTCs displayed?	Yes	Repair the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [REAR BODY CONTROL MODULE (RBCM)] .)
8		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
