Circuit Description
The Class 2 serial data circuit to the DLC allows bi-directional communication between the PCM and the scan tool. If communication between the scan tool and the PCM cannot be established, the procedure in the DLC Diagnosis table should be used to diagnose the condition.
Diagnostic Aids
Check the following items:
| • | For the PCM to establish communication with the scan tool, system voltage must be between 9.0 and 16.0 volts. If system voltage is not within this range, refer to DTC P0560 System Voltage |
| • | Ensure that the correct application (model year, carline, VIN code) has been selected on the scan tool; if communication still cannot be established try the scan tool on another vehicle to ensure that the scan tool or cables are not the cause of the condition. |
| • | An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed through wire insulation or a wire broken inside the insulation. Check for poor connections or a damaged harness. Inspect the PCM harness and connectors for improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal to wire connection, and damaged harness. |
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the Step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table:
Step | Action | Value(s) | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Was the Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check performed? | -- | ||
2 |
Is the test lamp ON? | -- | ||
3 | Probe both of the DLC ground circuits (cavities 4 and 5) with a test lamp to B+. Is the test lamp ON at both ground circuits? | -- | ||
