TEST
ACTION
APPLICABILITY
1
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:
Airbag Control Module
Body Control Module
Instrument Cluster
Was the DRBIII
t able to communicate with one or more Module(s)?
All
Yes
→ Go To 2
No
→ Go To 3
2
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.
No
→ Test Complete.
3
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the PCM harness connector.
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
No
→ Repair the PCI Bus circuit for an open.
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.
