Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. Lack of communication may be due to a partial malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit or due to a total malfunction of the class 2 serial data circuit. The specified procedure will determine the particular condition.

    2.

  2. The symptom list in Symptoms will determine the correct diagnostic procedure to use.

    3.

  3. The presence of DTCs which begin with "U" indicate some other module is not communicating. The specified procedure will compile all the available information before tests are performed.

  1. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
  2. Attempt to establish communication with the following control modules:
    3. • Dash Integration Module (DIM)
    • Driver Door Module (DDM)
    • Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM)
    • Inflatable Restraint Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
    • Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
    • Instrument Panel Module (IPM)
    • Left Rear Door Module (LRDM)

Important: The engine may start during the following step. Turn OFF the engine as soon as you have observed the Crank power mode.

  1. Access the Class 2 Power Mode in the Diagnostic Circuit Check on the scan tool .
  2. Rotate the ignition switch through all positions while observing the System Power Mode parameter.

Does the System Power Mode parameter reading match the ignition switch position for all switch positions?
