Pinpoint Test AE: The Side Obstacle Detection Control Module RH (Sod-R) Does Not Respond To The Diagnostic Scan Tool

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. AE1 CHECK THE SODR (SIDE OBSTACLE DETECTION CONTROL MODULE RH) VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: SODR C4370  .
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C4370-2  VOLTAGE Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts? 

    1. Yes  : GO to AE2 
    2. No  : VERIFY the BJB fuse 23 (15A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR the circuit. If not OK, REFER to the OEM WIRING DIAGRAMS -- (EXCEPT HYBRID) to identify the possible causes of the circuit short.
  2. AE2 CHECK THE SODR (SIDE OBSTACLE DETECTION CONTROL MODULE RH) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C4370-5  OHM Ground
      C4370-6  OHM Ground

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes  : GO to AE3 
    2. No  : REPAIR the circuit.
  3. AE3 CHECK THE MS-CAN (MEDIUM SPEED-CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK) CIRCUITS BETWEEN THE SODR (SIDE OBSTACLE DETECTION CONTROL MODULE RH) AND THE GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Disconnect: GWM C2431  .
    • Measure:
      Positive Lead Measurement/Action Negative Lead
      C4370-3  OHM C2431-23 
      C4370-4  OHM C2431-22 

    Are the resistances less than 3 ohms? 

    1. Yes  : GO to AE4 
    2. No  : REPAIR the circuit in question.
  4. AE4 CHECK FOR CORRECT SODR (SIDE OBSTACLE DETECTION CONTROL MODULE RH) OPERATION 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect and inspect all the SODR connectors.
    • Repair:
      • corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins)
      • damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins
      • pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
    • Reconnect the SODR connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    1. Yes  : CHECK OASIS for any applicable Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, INSTALL a new SODR.

      REFER to: SIDE OBSTACLE DETECTION CONTROL MODULE .

    2. No  : The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
