- Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) (if equipped)

- Audio Control Module (ACM)

- Audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) module (if equipped)

- Driver Door Module (DDM) (if equipped)

- Driver Seat Module (DSM) (if equipped)

- Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) (if equipped)

- Front Controls Interface Module (FCIM)

- Liftgate/Trunk Module (LTM)

- Passenger Climate Controlled Seat Module (PCSM) (part of the steering gear) (if equipped)

- Headlamp Control Module 2 (HCM-2) (if equipped)

- HVAC module (if equipped)

- Interior Lighting Control Module (ILCM) (if equipped)

- Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) (gateway module)

- Rear Entertainment Module (RETM) (if equipped)

- Rear Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (RHVAC) module (if equipped)

- Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module (if equipped)

- Smart Junction Box (SJB)

- Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Left (SOD-L) (if equipped)

- Side Obstacle Detection Control Module - Right (SOD-R) (if equipped)

PINPOINT TEST AH : NO MS-CAN (Medium Speed Controller Area Network) 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. Communications Network

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