Diagnostic Test

  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
    2. Record the Environmental Data.
    3. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    4. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    5. With the scan tool, read DTCM DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      • Go To  2

      No 

  2. CHECK FOR BATTERY OR CHARGING SYSTEM RELATED DTCS IN THE BCM AND PCM 
    1. With the scan tool, check the BCM and PCM for Battery and Charging System DTCs.

      Are any Battery or Charging System DTCs set?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE DTCM FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT VOLTAGE 
    1. Start the engine.
    2. While back probing at the DTCM harness connector, measure the voltage on the DTCM Fused B (+) circuit.

      Is the voltage above 9.5 volts?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4

      No 

      • Repair the DTCM Fused B (+) circuit for an open or high resistance.
      • Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  4. CHECK THE DTCM GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the DTCM harness connector.
    3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, test the DTCM Ground circuit at the DTCM harness connector.
      NOTE:

      The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly?

      Yes 

      • Go To  5

      No 

      • Repair the DTCM Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
      • Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  5. CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS 
    1. Disconnect all DTCM harness connectors.
    2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
    3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
    4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
      • Proper connector installation.
      • Damaged connector locks.
      • Corrosion.
      • Other signs of water intrusion.
      • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
      • Bent terminals.
      • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
      • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
      • Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.

      Repair any conditions that are found.

    5. Reconnect all DTCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    9. Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
    10. With the scan tool, read DTCM DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?

      Yes 

      No 

      • The wiring or poor connection problem has been repaired.
      • Perform the DTCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
