- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Audio Control Module (ACM)
- Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM)
- Audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) module
- Driver Seat Module (DSM)
- Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM)
- Front Display Interface Module (FDIM)
- HVAC module
- Instrument Cluster (IC)
- Liftgate/Trunk Module (LTM)
- Parking Aid Module (PAM)

PINPOINT TEST U: NO MS-CAN COMMUNICATION, ALL MODULES ARE NOT RESPONDING
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test. Inspection and Verification
NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to Battery.
