Test G: The Power Steering Control Module Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool
PINPOINT TEST G: THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE SCAN TOOL
Normal Operation
The power steering control module 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 HS-CAN network connection to the occupant classification sensor module. The
occupant classification sensor module shares the HS-CAN network with the PCM, the ABS module, the four wheel drive (4WD) control module, the
instrument cluster, the occupant classification sensor module and the restraints control module (RCM). For Hybrid vehicles, the instrument cluster also
shares the HS-CAN network with the transmission control module (TCM) and traction battery control module (TBCM). Voltage for the power
steering control module is provided by circuit CBP35 (YE/GY) and circuit GD116 (BK/VT) provides ground
