Test D: The Restraints Control Module (RCM) Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool
PINPOINT TEST D: THE RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE SCAN TOOL
Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) communicates with the scan tool through the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN). Circuits VDB04
(WH/BU) (HS-CAN +) and VDB05 (WH) (HS-CAN -) provide the network connection to the RCM. The RCM shares the HS-CAN with the PCM,
the transmission control module (TCM) (if equipped), the ABS module, the 4X4 control module (if equipped), the occupant classification system
module (OCSM) and the instrument cluster (IC). Voltage for the RCM is provided by circuit CBP17 (BN/GN), and the RCM is case grounded.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
-
Fuse
-
Wiring, terminals or connectors
-
RCM
