(Z903) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
  
(F942) (F26) FUSED IGNITION SW OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED
  
(D65) CAN C BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN
  
(D64) CAN C BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN
  
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
  



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.


NOTE: Check the FCM for any active CAN C hardware DTCs, perform DTC before proceeding.



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.ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PCM



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

Yes
  • Refer to the No Response From PCM test procedure. Refer to the table of contents in this section.


No
  • Go To 3

3.(Z903) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN





CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.




Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit?

Yes
  • Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the service information.
  • Perform the appropriate VERIFICATION TEST.


No
  • Repair the (Z903) ground circuit for an open.
  • Perform the appropriate VERIFICATION TEST.
