Diagnostic Instructions
*
Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using the diagnostic procedure. See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and
Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle

Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The data link connector (DLC) is a standardized 16 cavity connector. Connector design and location is dictated by an industry wide standard, and is
required to provide the following:
*
Scan tool power battery positive voltage at terminal 16
*
Scan tool power ground at terminal 4
*
Common signal ground at terminal 5
Diagnostic Aids
*
The scan tool will power up with the ignition OFF. Some modules however, will not communicate unless the ignition is ON and the power mode
master (PMM) module sends the appropriate power mode message.
*
If the battery positive voltage, ground circuits and connections of the DLC are functioning properly, the malfunction must be due to the scan
tool/CANdi module.
*
Use the DMM MIN/MAX function to capture/locate intermittent conditions.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition ON, test for battery voltage between the battery positive voltage circuit of the DLC and ground.
‹› If less than battery voltage, repair the voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
2. Test for less than 1 ohm of resistance between the ground circuit of the DLC and ground.
‹› If greater than 1 ohm, repair the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. If all tests normal, refer to the scan tool/CANdi module user guide.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the repair. See: Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures/Verification Tests and Procedures
