Test procedure
- QA1 CARRY OUT A VEHICLE INSPECTION AND VERIFY THE SELF-TEST PROCEDURE NOTE: If the self-test or communication concern occurred after a failed or aborted reprogram, the module may be blank. Attempt to reprogram the module again before continuing with this pinpoint test.
- Visually inspect the following for obvious signs of electrical damage:
- harness wiring
- electrical connections
- Verify the correct procedure was used to activate the self-test for the scan tool. Refer to SCAN TOOL SET-UP AND FUNCTIONALITY .
Was the correct self-test procedure used?
Yes No GO to QA2. REFER to SCAN TOOL SET-UP AND FUNCTIONALITY , to continue diagnosis. - Visually inspect the following for obvious signs of electrical damage:
- QA2 CARRY OUT THE NETWORK TEST NOTE: When using Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS), the scan tool attempts to communicate with the PCM first. After establishing communication with the PCM, the scan tool then attempts to communicate with all modules on the vehicle. If an IDS session cannot be established, IDS may state no communication can be established with the PCM:
- Choose No when the scan tool prompts whether or not to retry communication.
- Enter a PCM part number, tear tag or calibration number to identify the vehicle and start a session. The PCM part number and 4-character tear tag are located on the PCM.
- Key ON, engine OFF.
- Carry out the network test.
Do all modules indicate pass?
Yes No REFER to SYMPTOM CHARTS , GO to PINPOINT TEST QT , to continue diagnosis. If only PCM indicates fail, GO to QA3.
If only TCM indicates fail, GO to QA7.
If both PCM and TCM indicates fail, GO to QA5.
For network test or all other modules indicates fail, REFER to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK , Communication Network Symptom Chart to continue diagnosis. - QA3 CHECK THE ETCREF CIRCUIT FOR VOLTAGE
