Diagnostic Test

1.TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION


NOTE: Ensure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.



NOTE: A red X will be next to the module that is not communicating, indicating that the module is not active on the Bus network. A green check indicates that the module is active on the Bus network.



Does the scan tool display a red X next to the module?

Yes
  • Go To 2


No
  • The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.

2.(A903) FUSED B(+) CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED







Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes
  • Go To 3


No
  • Repair the (A903) Fused B(+) circuit for an open or short.
  • Perform the appropriate POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST.

3.(Z133) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN





Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit?

Yes
  • Go To 4


No
  • Repair the (Z133) ground circuit for an open.
  • Perform the appropriate POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST.

4.(F1) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED






Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes
  • Go To 5


No
  • Repair the (F1) Fused Ignition Switch Output circuit for an open or short.
  • Perform the appropriate POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST.

5.(D25) PCI BUS CIRCUIT OPEN







Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes
  • Replace the Transmission Control Module in accordance with the service information.
  • Perform the appropriate POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST.


No
  • Repair the (D25) PCI Bus circuit for an open.
  • Perform the appropriate POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST.
