Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  Use the scan tool in order to inspect the voltage to the EBCM.
  2. 3:  Use the scan tool in order to inspect the voltage to the instrument cluster. A low voltage value in multiple modules indicates a concern in the charging system.
  3. 5:  This step verifies that the condition is still present.
