Inspection and Verification
1. Verify the customer concern.
2. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
NOTE: Make sure the headlamp switch is in the OFF position.
NOTE: Make sure the multifunction switch is in the LOW BEAM position.
3. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
4. NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground from the DLC are provided to the VCM.
If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM:
-
Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.
-
Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.
-
Refer to Information Bus, No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no power to the scan tool.
5. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
-
Verify the ignition key is in the RUN position.
-
Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.
-
Refer to Information Bus to diagnose no response from the PCM.
6. Carry out the network test.
-
If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to Information Bus.
-
If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.
7. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the PCM, the SJB, and the Instrument Cluster (IC).
8. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, refer to Computers and Control Systems Information or the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Chart in Body Control Systems. See: Body and Frame/Body Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Chart
