VUE FWD V6-3.5L (2008)
‹› If communication is not available, test the serial data circuit between the JX209 splice pack terminal C and the inflatable restraint vehicle roll
over sensor for a short to ground or a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the inflatable restraint vehicle roll over sensor.
Important: After each connection, cycle the ignition key off for 5 seconds, then ON before attempting to establish communication.
4. Ignition OFF, with the jumper wire still attached to terminal H, individually move the other end of the jumper wire to each of the terminals listed
below and attempt to communicate with the applicable module. Communications should be available with each module listed.
*
JX209 terminal F, rear seat audio
*
JX209 terminal B, inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM)
*
JX209 terminal D, digital radio receiver
*
JX209 terminal E, vehicle control interface module (VCIM)
‹› If any module does not communicate, test the serial data circuit between the applicable module harness connector and the JX209 harness
connector for a short to ground or a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the applicable module.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (See: Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/Verification Tests
and Procedures) after completing the diagnostic procedure.

Diagnostic Instructions
*
Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System
Check - Vehicle) prior to using the diagnostic procedure.
*
Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an
overview of the diagnostic approach.

)provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
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.
