Normal Operation
The PCM communicates with the scan tool through the HS-CAN. Circuits 1827 (WH/LG) (HS-CAN +) and 1828 (PK/LG) (HS-CAN -) provide the network connection to the PCM. The PCM shares the HS-CAN network with the anti-lock brake system (ABS) with roll stability control module (if equipped), and the instrument cluster. Voltage for the PCM is provided by circuits 361 (RD) and 3049 (BK/LG). Circuits 570 (BK/WH) and 875 (BK/LB) provide ground.

Possible Causes
- Fuse
- Circuit 361 (RD) open
- Circuit 570 (BK/WH) open
- Circuit 875 (BK/LB) open
- Circuit 1827 (WH/LG) open, short to ground or voltage (HS-CAN +)
- Circuit 1828 (PK/LG) open, short to ground or voltage (HS-CAN -)
- Circuit 1827 (WH/LG) (HS-CAN +) and circuit 1828 (PK/LG) (HS-CAN -) shorted together
- Circuit 3049 (BK/LG) open
- PCM
- Instrument cluster
- ABS module with roll stability control (if equipped)
