Circuit Description
The data link connector (DLC) provides operating power for the scan tool at terminal 16 (Sirius - battery positive voltage) and terminal G (Fenix battery positive voltage). The ground for the scan tool is provided at terminal 4 (Sirius ground DLC) and terminal A (Fenix ground DLC). The 16 pin DLC for the Sirius aPUication provides the serial data signals at terminals 7 (ECM serial data), 8 (Theft Deterrent serial data), 9 (ABS serial data), and 13 (SIR serial data). The 12 pin DLC for the Fenix provides the serial data signals at terminals C (ECM serial data), H (Theft Deterrent serial data), J (SIR serial data), and M (ABS serial data). The scan tool will power up with the ignition off. The ignition must be ON in order for the scan tool to communicate with a control module.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
-
Fuse F11 suPUies power to terminal 16 (Sirius) or terminal G (Fenix) of the DLC.
-
The battery positive voltage and ground circuits of the DLC are functioning properly. The malfunction must be due to the scan tool.
Step | Action | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|
Test the battery positive voltage circuit of the DLC for an open or short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 2 | ||
2 | Test the ground circuit of the DLC for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 3 | |
3 | Inspect for poor connections at the DLC ground terminals and the DLC power terminals at the DLC. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 4 | |
The scan tool may be malfunctioning. Refer to the scan tool user guide. Did you obtain a properly operating scan tool? | -- | ||
5 | Does the scan tool power up? | Go to Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls in Engine Controls 0.8L, or Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls in Engine Controls1.0L, or Diagnostic System Check - ABS in Antilock Brake System , or Diagnostic System Check - SIR in SIR | Go to Step 1 |
