TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

Note: Ensure there is PCI Bus communication with other modules on the
vehicle before proceeding. If not, refer to the symptom list from the menu
and repair as necessary.
Disconnect the PCM harness connectors.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING
THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMI-
NALS RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL
MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS.
Use Scope input cable CH7058, Cable to Probe adapter CH7062, and the red and
black test probes.
Connect the scope input cable to the channel one connector on the DRB. Attach the
red and black leads and the cable to probe adapter to the scope input cable.
With the DRBIII

t select Pep Module Tools.

Select lab scope.
Select Live Data.
Select 12 volt square wave.
Press F2 for Scope.
Press F2 and use the down arrow to set voltage range to 20 volts. Press F2 again
when complete.
Connect the Black lead to the chassis ground. Connect the Red lead to the PCI Bus
circuit in the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.
Turn the ignition on.
Observe the voltage display on the DRB Lab Scope.
Does the voltage pulse from 0 to approximately 7.5 volts?

All

Yes

→ Go To 6

→ Repair the PCI Bus circuit for an open.

Perform 40/41TE (NGC) TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION
TEST - VER 1.

Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors. Repair as
necessary. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.

TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

Note: Determine which modules this vehicle is equipped with before begin-
ning.
Note: When attempting to communicate with any of the modules on this
vehicle, the DRB will display 1 of 2 different communication errors: a NO
RESPONSE message or a BUS +/- SIGNALS OPEN message.
Turn the ignition on.
Using the DRB, attempt to communicate with the following control modules:
Occupant Restraint Controller
Body Control Module
MIC (INSTRUMENT CLUSTER)
Was the DRBIII

t able to communicate with one or more Module(s)?

All

Yes

→ Go To 2

→ Go To 3

Turn the ignition off.
Note: Visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any chafed,
pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
Note: Visually inspect the related wire harness connectors. Look for broken,
bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
Note: If the DRB can not communicate with a single module, refer to the
category list for the related symptom.
Were any problems found?

All

Yes

→ Repair wiring harness/connectors as necessary.

Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

→ Test Complete.

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the PCM harness connectors.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING
THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMI-
NALS RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL
MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS.
Disconnect the DRB from the Data Link Connector (DLC).
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Measure the resistance of the PCI Bus circuit between the Data Link Connector
(DLC) and the PCM harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

All

Yes

→ Go To 4

→ Repair the PCI Bus circuit for an open.

Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

NOTE: Reconnect the PCM harness connector and the negative battery
cable.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the PCI Bus circuit at the Data Link Connector (DLC).
Is the voltage above 7.0 volts?

All

Yes

→ Go To 5

→ Go To 6

Turn the ignition off.
Using a voltmeter, connect one end to the PCI Bus circuit at the DLC, and the other
end to ground.
Note: When performing the next step turn the ignition off (wait one minute)
before disconnecting any module. When the module is disconnected turn
the ignition on to check for a short to voltage.
Turn the ignition on.
While monitoring the voltmeter, disconnect each module the vehicle is equipped with
one at a time.
Is the voltage steadily above 7.0 volts with all the modules disconnected?

All

Yes

→ Repair the PCI Bus circuit for a short to voltage.

Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

→ Replace the module that when disconnected the short to voltage

was eliminated.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Using a ohmmeter, connect one end to the PCI Bus circuit at the DLC, and the other
end to ground.
While monitoring the ohmmeter, disconnect each module the vehicle is equipped with
one at a time.
NOTE: Total bus resistance to ground thru all of the modules is typically
between 350 to 1000 ohms. The more modules on the bus, the lower the total
bus resistance will be.
Is the resistance below 150.0 ohms with all the modules disconnected?

All

Yes

→ Repair the PCI Bus circuit for a short to ground.

Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

→ Replace the module that when disconnected the short to ground

was eliminated.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.
