INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
1. Verify the customer concern.
Visual Inspection Chart
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
3. As pinpoint tests and measurements are being carried out, be sure to inspect for any disconnected, loose-fitting or incorrectly installed component,
module and in-line electrical connectors and pins.
4. If the inspection reveals obvious concerns that can be readily identified, repair as necessary.
5. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and
select the vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the vehicle selection cannot be entered:
-
check that the program card is correctly installed.
-
check the connections to the vehicle.
-
check the ignition switch position.
-
check that the battery voltage is greater than 9V.
If the diagnostic tool still does not allow the vehicle selection to be entered, refer to the diagnostic tool manual.
6. Carry out the diagnostic tool data link test. If the diagnostic tool responds with:
-
SCP+, SCP-, CAN or UBP circuits fault = ALL MODULE NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED, go to Module Communication Network
Diagnostics to diagnose the network concern.
-
No response/not equipped for smart junction box (SJB), refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network).
-
System passed, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test
diagnostics for the SJB.
7. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Smart Junction Box (SJB) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue
diagnostics. See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions
8. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics. See: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
