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

Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic Procedure Instructions)
provides an overview of each diagnostic category.
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 B+ voltage at terminal 16
*
Scan tool ground at terminal 4
*
Common 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 B+ circuit, ground circuits, and connections of the DLC are functioning properly, the malfunction must be due to the scan tool/CANdi
module.

Circuit/System Testing
1. Test for less than 2.0 ohms between the ground circuits terminal 4 of the DLC and ground, and terminal 5 of the DLC and ground.
‹› If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
