1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?	-	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2	Start the engine. Turn OFF all accessories. Does the battery charge indicator remain illuminated?	-	Go to Step 3	Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems
3	Install a scan tool. Start the engine. Turn OFF all accessories. Increase engine speed to 1,500 RPM. With a scan tool, observe the Battery Voltage parameter in the body control module (BCM) data list, engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) data list, and the instrument panel cluster (IPC) data list. Compare the voltages. Are all of the voltages within the specified range?	0.9-1.1 V	Go to Step 4	Go to Step 5
4	Are the voltages displayed within the specified range?	11-16 V	Go to Step 5	Go to Charging System Test
5	Test the battery positive voltage and ground circuits of the affected module for a high resistance or open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 8	Go to Step 6
6	Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the affected module. Refer to Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 8	Go to Step 7
7	IMPORTANT: Perform the module setup procedure. Replace the affected module. Refer to Control Module References in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming.Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 8	-
8	Operate the system in order to verify the repair. Did you correct the condition?	-	System OK	Go to Step 2
