D3-D4
Test E: The Restraints Control Module (RCM) Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool
PINPOINT TEST E: THE RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE SCAN TOOL
Normal Operation
The 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 network with the PCM, the power steering
control module, the ABS module, the four-wheel drive (4WD) control module, the occupant classification sensor (OCS) module and the instrument
cluster. Voltage for the RCM is provided by circuit CBP32 (GN/VT), and the RCM is case grounded.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
-
Fuse
-
Wiring, terminals or connectors
-
Case ground open
-
RCM
