Circuits VDB06 (GY/OG) (MS-CAN +) and VDB07 (VT/OG) (MS-CAN -) provide the network connection to the audio DSP module. Voltage for the audio DSP module is provided by circuit SBB64 (VT/RD). Circuit GD148 (BK/YE) provides ground.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Audio DSP module
