Pinpoint Test V: Intermittent No High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) Communication, One Or More Modules Are Not Respond




Communications Network

Pinpoint Tests

Pinpoint Test V: Intermittent No High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) Communication, One Or More Modules Are Not Responding During Network Test

Normal Operation

The High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) uses an unshielded twisted pair cable. In the event that 1 of the 2 network circuits (HS-CAN + or HS-CAN -) becomes open to a module on the network, unreliable network communication to all modules on the network may result.

The following modules communicate with the scan tool using the HS-CAN:

- 4X4 control module (if equipped)
- ABS module
- Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) (if equipped)
- Headlamp Control Module (HCM) (if equipped)
- Instrument Cluster (IC)
- Occupant Classification System Module (OCSM)
- PCM
- Restraints Control Module (RCM)
- Steering Angle Sensor Module (SASM) (if equipped)

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Data Link Connector (DLC)



PINPOINT TEST V: INTERMITTENT NO HS-CAN COMMUNICATION, ONE OR MORE MODULES ARE NOT RESPONDING DURING NETWORK TEST

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: Various network DTCs set while disabling modules in this test procedure, which need to be cleared after the diagnostic procedure is completed.

NOTE: Failure to disconnect the battery when instructed will result in false resistance readings. Refer to Battery.
