This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- ABS module
- Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) (if equipped)
- Trailer Brake Control (TBC) module (if equipped)
- PCM
- Restraints Control Module (RCM)
- Auxiliary Heater Control Module (AHCM) (diesel engine only, if equipped)
- Transmission Control Module (TCM) (diesel engine only, if equipped)
- Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)
- Parking Aid Module (PAM) (if equipped)
- Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) (if equipped)
- Body Control Module (BCM)
