Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer concern.
  2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage.
    • If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.

      • 23 (15A) (FLM, Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module, SCCM)
      • 24 (15A) (no power to DLC, Steering Column Control Module (SCCM))
      • 26 (5A) (Global Positioning System Module (GPSM))
      • 27 (20A) (RFA module)
      • 29 (20A) (Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM), Audio Front Control Module (ACM), Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM), Front Control/Display Interface Module (FCDIM))
      • 34 (10A) (Parking Aid Module (PAM), Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L), Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right (SOD-R))
      • 35 (5A) (Head Up Display (HUD) module)
      • 36 (10A) (Heated Steering Wheel Module (HSWM))
      • 41 (7.5A) (Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM), Restraints Control Module (RCM))
      • 46 (10A) (HVAC module EMTC or DATC)
    • Data Link Connector (DLC)
    • Wiring, terminals or connectors
  3. Connect the scan tool to the DLC.
      NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
      NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground from the DLC are provided to the VCM.
    • If the Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) does not communicate with the VCM:
    • Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.
    • Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.
    • GO to Pinpoint Test AE , to diagnose No Power To The Scan Tool.
  4. Establish a scan tool session.
      NOTE: The scan tool first attempts to communicate with the PCM. After establishing communication with the PCM, the scan tool then attempts to communicate with all other modules on the vehicle.
    • If an IDS session cannot be established with the vehicle, (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 either 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 printed on the PCM label. If the PCM part number cannot be found, a base part number search on the HVBOM application (under the OASIS tab on the technician service publication website) retrieves the PCM part number.
    • GO to Pinpoint Test A , to diagnose The PCM Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool.
  5. Carry out the network test.
    • If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs and proceed to Step 6.
    • If the network test fails, GO to Symptom Chart  to diagnose the failed communication network.
    • If a module fails to communicate during the network test, GO to Symptom Chart .
  6. Retrieve and review the DTCs.
    • If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC Charts . Follow the non-network DTC diagnostics (B-codes, C-codes, P-codes) prior to the network DTC diagnostics (U-codes).
    • If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart .
