Blank Message Screen
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect DRB-II, adapter cable and cartridge. Connect DRB-II to a different vehicle with equipment identical to vehicle being tested.
- Access DRB-II main menu. If message screen is still blank, adapter cable or DRB-II is faulty. Substitute adapter cable with a known good cable to locate faulty component.
- If message screen is not blank, DRB-II is functioning properly. If message screen is still blank, inspect data link connector for proper wire placement, corrosion, damaged terminals or pushed-out pins. Repair if necessary.
- If data link connector is okay, use external voltmeter to check voltage on Red wire at CCD data link connector. CCD data link connector is located under driver's side of instrument cluster. See Figure.
- If voltmeter reading at Red wire is at least 9 volts, repair open in CCD data link connector Black/Light Green (ground) wire. If voltage is not at least 9 volts, repair open in Red wire to battery.
