Diagnostic Test
- RELATED DTCS PRESENT IN THE PCM
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- With the scan tool, read Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Module DTCs and record on the repair order.
Is the DTC active?
Yes
- Go To 3
No
- Perform the TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- With the scan tool, read Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Module DTCs and record on the repair order.
- CHECK THE (F948) FUSED IGNITION CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the ACC Module harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F948) Fused Ignition circuit at the ACC Module 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 4
No
- Repair the (F948) Fused Ignition circuit for an open or high resistance.NOTE:
If the fuse is open, make sure to check for a short to ground.
- Perform the ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- CHECK THE (Z902) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the ground and the (Z902) Ground circuit in the ACC harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Repair the (Z902) Ground circuit for an open or high resistance.
- Perform the ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
- CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect all ACC harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- 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.
- Reconnect all ACC harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read ACC DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
