Go to Step 2

Go to Data Link Communications System Check

1. Inspect the data link connector (DLC) and repair any damaged terminals if required.
2. Verify that the Scan Tool is firmly installed.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
4. Attempt scan tool communications with the vehicle control module (VCM) for gasoline engines, or the powertrain control module (PCM) for diesel engines.

Can communications be established?

--

System OK

Go to Step 3

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the PCM connector C 3 or the VCM connector C 4.
3. Disconnect the electronic brake control module (EBCM).
4. Use a J 39200 DMM to measure the resistance on the DLC from terminal 2 to terminal 5.

Is the resistance greater than the specified value?

10M ohms

Go to Step 5

Go to Step 4

Locate and repair the short to ground in CKT 1807 (PPL).

Is the repair complete?

--

System OK

--

Use a J 39200 DMM to measure the voltage on the DLC from terminal 2 to terminal 5.

Is the voltage greater than the specified value?

1.0 V

Go to Step 6

Go to Step 7

Locate and repair the short to B + in CKT 1807 (PPL).

Is the repair complete?

--

System OK

--

Use a J 39200 DMM to measure the resistance from the DLC terminal 2 to the PCM connector C 3, cavity C 8, or to the VCM connector C 4, cavity 11.

Is the resistance greater than the specified value?

1.0 ohms

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 9

Locate and repair the open in CKT 1807 (PPL).

Is the repair complete?

System OK

--

1. Connect the PCM or VCM.
2. Connect the EBCM.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
4. Install the scan tool.
5. Attempt to communicate with the PCM or VCM.
