DIAGNOSTIC TEST

  1. CHECK THE STATUS OF THE ERROR MESSAGE NOTE: Ensure the vehicle being tested is a CAN BUS VEHICLE. If not, false error messages may be displayed. NOTE: Ensure the scan tool is updated to the latest software. NOTE: Check for any TSB(s) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing. With the scan tool, record the error message. Disconnect the scan tool from the DLC. Cycle the ignition from on to off 3 times. Turn the ignition on. Does the scan tool display this same error message? Yes Go To 2 . No The conditions that caused this error message to set are not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors.
  2. (D72) DIAGNOSTIC CAN C (+) CIRCUIT OPEN Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) C3 harness connector. Disconnect the scan tool from the DLC. Measure the resistance of the (D72) Diagnostic CAN C (+) circuit between the TIPM C3 harness connector and the DLC. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? Yes Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage or shorted circuits. If OK, replace the Totally Integrated Power Module in accordance with the Service Information. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «STANDARD PROCEDURE»(ref-485529-S24369246162012071300000) . No Repair the (D72) Diagnostic CAN C (+) circuit for an open. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «STANDARD PROCEDURE»(ref-485529-S24369246162012071300000) .

  1. VERIFY DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IS STORED NOTE: Stored faults may indicate a customer perceived intermittent condition. NOTE: Make sure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10 and 16 volts before proceeding. NOTE: Check for any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related to the condition. If a TSB applies, perform the procedure outlined in the TSB before continuing. With the scan tool, read stored DTCs. Is this DTC stored? Yes Go To 2 . No Diagnose the active DTC. Go To and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.
  2. CHECK THE ENVIRONMENTAL DATA With the scan tool, read the loss of communication environmental data. Does the loss of communication environmental odometer data match up to any of the previous service procedures listed in the possible causes or are there any stored CAN B or C hardware electrical, battery, ignition voltage, VIN missing/mismatch, TIPM configuration DTCs present with matching environmental data? Yes These DTCs may have been the result of other service procedures performed. Clear DTCs. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «STANDARD PROCEDURE»(ref-485529-S24369246162012071300000) . No Go To 3 .
  3. VERIFY INTERMITTENT LOST COMMUNICATION DTC - WIRING CONCERNS Turn the ignition on. With the scan tool, read DTCs. Is there more than one ECU with stored DTCs "Logged Against" the module and one or more lost communication DTCs stored in the offending module? Yes Verify if the vehicle was recently in for this type of service. Otherwise, visually inspect the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out and corroded terminals. Repair as necessary. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «STANDARD PROCEDURE»(ref-485529-S24369246162012071300000) . No Go To 4 .
  4. VERIFY INTERMITTENT LOST COMMUNICATION DTC - OFFENDING MODULE Turn the ignition on. With the scan tool, read DTCs. Is there more than one ECU with stored DTCs "Logged Against" the module and NO lost communication DTCs stored in the offending module? Yes Check for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) related to this offending module. No Go To 5 .
  5. VERIFY INTERMITTENT LOST COMMUNICATION DTC - REPORTING MODULE Turn the ignition on. With the scan tool, read DTCs. Is there ONLY ONE ECU with stored DTCs "Logged Against" the module? Yes Check for TSBs related to the module that set this DTC. No Verify if the vehicle was recently in for this type of service. Otherwise, visually inspect the related wiring harness for chafed, pierced, pinched and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out and corroded terminals. Repair as necessary. Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to «STANDARD PROCEDURE»(ref-485529-S24369246162012071300000) .
