Diagnostic Test
1.
CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
NOTE:
Remove any electronic devices (laptop computers, cell phones) from the instrument panel.
NOTE:
Before proceeding, check the compass variance and calibration in accordance with the service information.
Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, record and erase DTCs.
Wait 30 seconds.
With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Does the scan tool display this DTC as active?
Yes
No
-
The condition that caused this code to set is not present at this time. Check for an intermittent condition by inspecting the related wiring harness for chafed,
pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires. Also inspect the related connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, spread, corroded, or contaminated terminals.
-
Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
2. (D506) LIN BUS CIRCUIT
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Compass Module harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Measure the voltage of the (D506) LIN BUS circuit.
Is the voltage above 5 volts?
Yes
No
3. (D506) LIN BUS CIRCUIT OPEN
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Instrument Cluster C2 harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the (D506) LIN BUS circuit.
Is the resistance below 10K ohms?
Yes
No
4. (F921) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT (RUN) CIRCUIT OPEN
Turn the ignition on.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (F921) Fused Ignition Switch Output (RUN) circuit at the Compass Module harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
No
5.
(Z916) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
Turn the ignition off.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z916) Ground circuit at the Compass Module harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
No
