Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC NOTE:
Make sure all Battery and Battery Cable connections are clean and properly tightened.
NOTE:Make sure the Generator Drive Belt is in good condition and the Generator is charging properly.
NOTE:Inspect the vehicle for aftermarket accessories that may exceed the Generator System output.
NOTE:Inspect all fuses in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) Assembly. If an open fuse is found, use the wire diagram/schematic as a guide and inspect any related wiring and connectors for damage.
- With the scan tool, read Body Control Module (BCM) DTCs and record on the repair order.
- Record the Environmental Data and any DTCs.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION procedure. Refer to TESTING FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- CHECK FOR POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) DTCS
- With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs and record on the repair order.
Are there any Battery or Charging System related DTCs?
Yes
- Perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX .
No
- Go To 3
- With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs and record on the repair order.
- CHECK THE (A903) AND (A904) FUSED B(+) CIRCUITS FOR HIGH RESISTANCE
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the BCM C2/B and C3/C harness connectors.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A903) Fused B(+) circuit at the BCM C3/C harness connector.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A904) Fused B(+) circuit at the BCM C2/B harness connector.NOTE:
The test light must illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
Does the test light illuminate brightly for both circuits?
Yes
- Go To 4
No
- Repair the high resistance in the (A903) or (A904) Fused B(+) circuits.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS
- Disconnect all BCM harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all BCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read BCM DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Replace the Body Control Module (BCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, BODY CONTROL (BCM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to BODY VERIFICATION TEST .
- Test complete.
