Circuit Description
The data link connector (DLC) provides operating power for the scan tool at terminal 16 (battery positive voltage) and at terminal 4 (ground). The DLC provides the class 2 serial data signal at terminal 2 and signal ground at terminal 5. The scan tool will power up with the ignition off.
Test Description
-
This test verifies that the DLC battery positive voltage circuit is supplying power to the DLC terminal 16.
-
The DLC battery positive voltage and ground circuits are functioning properly. The malfunction must be due to the scan tool.
Step | Action | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|
Test the DLC battery positive voltage circuit for an open or a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to the applicable Diagnostic System Check | ||
2 | Test the DLC ground circuit terminal 4 for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to the applicable Diagnostic System Check | |
3 | Inspect for poor connections/terminal tension at the DLC terminal 4 and terminal 16. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to the applicable Diagnostic System Check | |
The scan tool may be malfunctioning. Refer to the scan tool instruction manual. Did you obtain a properly operating scan tool? | Go to the applicable Diagnostic System Check | -- |
