Is DTC U3003:62 recorded?

Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test K. Pinpoint Test K: DTC U3003:62

No
GO to I4.

I4 CHECK FOR DTCs U3003:16 AND U3003:17 FROM THE BCM (Body Control Module) SELF-TEST

- Retrieve the continuous memory DTCs from the BCM (Body Control Module).

I5 RECHECK THE RFA (Remote Function Actuator) MODULE DTCs

NOTE: If new modules were installed prior to the DTC being set, the module configuration may be incorrectly set during Programmable Module Installation (PMI) or the PMI (Programmable Module Installation) may not have been carried out.

- Clear the DTCs. Repeat the RFA (Remote Function Actuator) module self-test.

Is DTC U0140:87 still present?

Yes
GO to I6.

No
The system is operating correctly at this time. The DTC may have been set due to high network traffic or an intermittent fault condition.
