Data Link Communications Schematic Icons Icon Icon Definition CAUTION: When performing service on or near the SIR components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system must be disabled. Refer to SIR Disabling and Enabling Zones. Failure to observe the correct procedure could cause deployment of the SIR components, personal injury, or unnecessary SIR system repairs. IMPORTANT: Twisted-pair wires provide an effective shield that helps protect sensitive electronic components from electrical interference. In order to prevent electrical interference from degrading the performance of the connected components, you must maintain the proper specification when making any repairs to the twisted-pair wires shown: The wires must be twisted a minimum of 9 turns per 31 cm (12 in) as measured anywhere along the length of the wires. The outside diameter of the twisted wires must not exceed 6.0 mm (0.25 in)

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 3: This test isolates a shorted TCM, ECM, or EBTCM. By reading the signal from the ECM after the wiring is tested, without a TCM connected, an ECM signal generating problem can be diagnosed. When the CAN circuits are open between two components, both components generate a 30,000 to 40,000 hertz signal. When the system is not open, the frequency is 3,000 to 3,500 hertz.
