Circuit Description

The Keyword 2000 serial data link allows information to be exchanged from module to module as needed. This is done by the ECM, the ECM requests and sends all the information that is transmitted on the Keyword 2000 line. When a scan tool is connected to the Keyword line it takes over for the ECM and sends and requests the needed information.

Diagnostic Aids
    • Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. Failure to carefully and fully inspect the wiring and the connectors can result in misdiagnosis. Misdiagnosis may cause replacement of parts without repairing the malfunction.
    • If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Intermittents and Poor Connections Diagnosis in Wiring Systems.

Test Description

The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.

  1. This step checks if the scan tool can communicate with other modules on the Keyword 2000 serial data line. If the scan tool can communicate with other modules, then the malfunction is likely with the ignition input, ground or the serial data line to the EBTCM.

No Communication with EBTCM

Step

Action

Value(s)

Yes

No

DEFINITION: Scan tool can not communicate with the EBTCM.

  1. Install the fuse if removed.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, engine off.
  3. Using J 39200 DMM, measure the voltage at the 10A ABS Fuse 19 by probing between the fuse test terminals and a good ground.

Is the voltage within the range specified within the value(s) column?

Battery Volts

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
  2. Disconnect the EBTCM connector C1.
  3. Connect the J 39700 Universal Pinout Box using the J 39700-280 cable adapter to the EBTCM harness connector C1 only.
  4. Using J 39200 DMM, measure the resistance between J 39700 terminal 19 and a good ground.

Is the resistance within the range specified in the value(s) column?

0 - 5ohms

Go to Step 10

Go to Step 9
