TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the BCM C2 harness connector.
Disconnect the DRB from the Data Link Connector (DLC).
Measure the resistance of the PCI Bus circuit between the Data Link Connector
(DLC) and the BCM C2 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 BCM C2 harness connector.
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 7

Note: Determine which modules this vehicle is equipped with before begin-
ning.
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the BCM C2 and C3 harness connectors.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of each PCI Bus circuit at the BCM C2 and C3 connectors.
Is the voltage steadily above 7.0 volts for any measurement?

All

Yes

→ Go To 6

→ Replace the Body Control Module in accordance with the service

information.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the module that corresponds to the PCI Bus circuit that measured
steadily above 7.0 volts.
Turn the ignition on.
NOTE: If the PCI Bus circuit for the Radio was above 7.0 volts and is
equipped with a CD Changer, disconnect the CD Changer before the Radio.
NOTE: If the PCI Bus circuit for the Instrument Cluster (MIC) was above 7.0
volts and is equipped with a Compass/Mini Trip Computer (CMTC), discon-
nect the CMTC before the MIC.
Measure the voltage of the PCI Bus circuit that previously measured above 7.0 volts.
Is the voltage steadily above 7.0 volts with the module disconnected?

All

Yes

→ Repair the PCI Bus circuit that measured over 7.0 volts for a

short to voltage.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

→ Replace the module that caused the short to voltage on the PCI

Bus circuit.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

Note: Determine which modules this vehicle is equipped with before begin-
ning.
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Disconnect the BCM C2 and C3 harness connectors.
Measure the resistance between ground and each of the PCI Bus circuits at the BCM
C2 and C3 connectors.
Is the resistance below 1000.0 ohms for any of the measurements?

All

Yes

→ Go To 8

→ Replace the Body Control Module in accordance with the service

information.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Disconnect the module that corresponds to the PCI Bus circuit that resistance
measured below 1000.0 ohms.
NOTE: If the PCI Bus circuit for the Radio was below 1000.0 ohms and is
equipped with a CD Changer, disconnect the CD Changer before the Radio.
NOTE: If the PCI Bus circuit for the Instrument Cluster (MIC) was below
1000.0 ohms and is equipped with a Compass/Mini Trip Computer (CMTC),
disconnect the CMTC before the MIC.
Measure the resistance between ground and the PCI Bus circuit that previously
measured below 1000.0 ohms.
Is the resistance below 1000.0 ohms with the module disconnected?

All

Yes

→ Repair the PCI Bus circuit that resistance measured below 1000.0

ohms for a short to ground.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

→ Replace the module that caused the short to ground on the PCI

Bus circuit.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

INTERMITTENT CONDITION

POSSIBLE CAUSES

INTERMITTENT CONDITION

TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

NOTE: The conditions that set the DTC are not present at this time. The
following list may help in identifying the intermittent condition.
WARNING: WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING, DO NOT STAND IN A
DIRECT LINE WITH THE FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS NEAR THE
PULLEYS, BELTS OR FAN. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING.
Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that may apply.
Review the DRB Freeze Frame information. If possible, try to duplicate the
conditions under which the DTC set.
With the engine running at normal operating temperature, monitor the DRB
parameters related to the DTC while wiggling the wire harness. Look for parameter
values to change and/or a DTC to set.
Visually inspect the related wire harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched,
partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
CAUTION: NEVER 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.
Inspect and clean all PCM, engine, and chassis grounds.
If numerous trouble codes were set, use a wire schematic to help you find any
common ground or supply circuits.
For any Relay DTCs, actuate the Relay with the DRBIII

t and wiggle the related wire

harness to try to interrupt the actuation.
For intermittent Evaporative Emission trouble codes perform a visual and physical
inspection of the related parts including hoses and the Fuel cap.
A co-pilot, data recording, and/or lab scope should be used to help diagnose
intermittent conditions.
Use the DRBIII

t to perform a System Test if one applies to failing component.

Were any problems found during the above inspections?

All

Yes

→ Repair as necessary

→ Test Complete.

TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

WARNING: WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING, DO NOT STAND IN A
DIRECT LINE WITH THE FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS NEAR THE
PULLEYS, BELTS OR FAN. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII

t, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.

With the DRBIII

t, erase DTCs.

Start the engine and run until operating temp is reached. (Closed Loop)
If the DTC does not reset it may be necessary to take the vehicle on a test drive.
Does the DTC reset?

All

Yes

→ Go To 2

→ Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION symptom in the

Driveability category.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5.
