Inspection and Verification

  1. Verify the customer concern.
  2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of electrical damage. VISUAL INSPECTION CHART Electrical Battery junction box (BJB) fuse(s): 11 (30A) (no communication with dual climate control seat module [DCSM]) 12 (30A) (no communication with DCSM) 13 (10A) (no communication with accessory protocol interface module [APIM]) 15 (10A) (no communication with driver seat module [DSM]) 16 (15A) (no communication with transmission control module [TCM]) 19 (40A) (no communication with smart junction box [SJB]) 20 (20A) (no communication with audio digital signal processing [DSP] module) 21 (20A) (no communication with audio DSP module) 23 (10A) (no communication with TCM-FNR5 transaxle, PCM) 23 (10A) (no communication with the PCM) 26 (7.5A) (no communication with the PCM) 42 (15A) (no communication with the PCM, 3.0L and 3.5L engines) 47 (15A) (no communication with the PCM, 2.3L engine) SJB fuse(s): 12 (7.5A) (no communication with audio control module [ACM]) 13 (10A) (no communication with instrument cluster [IC], heating ventilation air conditioning [HVAC] module) 18 (20A) (no power to scan tool, no communication with ACM) 20 (7.5A) (no communication with driver door module [DDM], satellite digital audio receiver system [SDARS] module, 4X4 control module) 23 (7.5A) (no communication with IC) 24 (7.5A) (no communication with occupant classification system module [OCSM]) 25 (7.5A) (no communication with restraints control module [RCM]) 26 (7.5A) (no communication with TCM, PCM) 27 (7.5A) (no communication with HVAC module, IC) 28 (10A) (no communication with ABS module, 4X4 control module, PAM) Data link connector (DLC) Wiring harness Wiring, terminals or connectors
  3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  4. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the DLC. If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM: Check the VCM connection to the vehicle. Check the scan tool connection to the VCM. Go to «Pinpoint Test V»(ref-291879-S11072880972008073000000) , to diagnose no power to the scan tool.
  5. Carry out the network test. If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs and proceed to Step 6. If the network test fails, go to «Symptom Chart»(ref-291879-S00035251842008073000000) to identify the module not communicating.
  6. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC Charts. For all other DTCs, refer to «MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES»(ref-291878) article.
  7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, go to «Symptom Chart»(ref-291879-S00035251842008073000000) .

DTC Charts

Note. Network DTCs (U-codes) are often a result of intermittent concerns such as faulty wiring or low battery voltage occurrences. Additionally, vehicle service procedures such as module reprogramming will often set network DTCs. Replacing a module to resolve a network DTC is unlikely to resolve the concern. To prevent repeat network DTC concerns, inspect all network wiring, especially connectors. Test the vehicle battery, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES article.

Note. DTC U1900 will set in a module that is reporting a communication fault from another module on the data bus. The module that reports the fault is not the problem module.
