Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer concern by operating the system.
  2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage. VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Mechanical Electrical Damaged components Central junction box (CJB) fuse 27 (10A) Wiring harness Loose, damaged or corroded connectors Interior map lamp, dome lamp, cargo lamp
  3. If an obvious cause for an observed of reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  4. If the diagnostic tool does not power up, refer to the .
  5. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS test. If the diagnostic tool responds with: CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to «MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK»(ref-177213) . NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for GEM, Refer to «MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULE»(ref-204647) . SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs, and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the GEM.
  6. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the GEM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics. See «GEM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX»(ref-204641-S08394246912005111200000) .
  7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.
  8. If the DTCs are retrieved that are not found in the following GEM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index, refer to «MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULE»(ref-204647) .
