Result:
A
See step 2
- INSPECT DCM (TELEMATICS TRANSCEIVER) (GSW SIGNAL)
- Remove the DCM (Telematics Transceiver) but do not disconnect the connectors.
*a Component with harness connected
(DCM (Telematics Transceiver))Refer to REMOVAL [03/2017 - 09/2019]
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
