Test H: The Instrument Cluster Does Not Respond to The Diagnostic Tool

PINPOINT TEST H: THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL

H1-H3:

Normal Operation
The instrument cluster communicates with the diagnostic tool through the controller area network (CAN) circuits 3125 (RD/YE) and 3126 (TN/YE). If one of the bus wires becomes shorted to ground or voltage, or if some but not all termination resistors are lost, communications can continue. Check circuits 3125 (RD/YE) and 3126 (TN/YE) between the instrument cluster C220b and the data link connector (DLC) C251. The total resistance values must not be more than 5 ohms. If the resistance is more than 5 ohms there is an open in circuit 3125 (RD/YE) and 3126 (TN/YE), damage to the DLC C251, or damage to the instrument cluster C220b.

Possible Causes
- circuit 3125 (RD/YE) open
- circuit 3126 (TN/YE) open
- DLC C251
- instrument cluster
- instrument cluster C220b
