Test A: The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool

PINPOINT TEST A: THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE SCAN TOOL


A1-A2:






A3-A4:






Normal Operation
The PCM communicates with the scan tool through the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN). Circuits VDB04 (WH/BU) (HS-CAN +) and VDB05 (WH) (HS-CAN -) provide the network connection to the PCM. The PCM shares the HS-CAN network with the transmission control module (TCM), the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module, the restraints control module (RCM), the four wheel drive (4WD) control module (if equipped), the occupant classification sensor module and the instrument cluster.

Possible Causes
- Circuit VDB04 (WH/BU) open (HS-CAN +)
- Circuit VDB05 (WH) open (HS-CAN -)
- PCM
