DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

The following modules are linked to the HS-CAN

Communications Network

communication network:

Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

The HS-CAN network is terminated at one end by the

PCM, with the other end terminated by the IC.

Additionally, the DLC and the remaining HS-CAN

Worldwide Diagnostic System

modules are connected to this bus.

For information on operation of individual modules

please refer to the relevant sections.

Inspection and Verification

1.  Verify the customer concern.
2.  Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical

damage.

and testing of these systems easier by allowing one
