Normal Operation
The power running board (PRB) module receives power through circuit SBB07 (WH/RD) and ground through circuit GD143 (BK/VT). The LH and RH PRB motor Hall-effect sensors receive a regulated 10-volt power supply from the PRB module through circuit CPR47 (GY/BN). The Hall-effect ground is provided by the PRB module through circuit RPR47 (BU/GN). The PRB module receives door ajar and vehicle speed status over the controller area network (CAN).

Possible Causes
- Fuse
- Open in circuit CPR47 (GY/BN), RPR47 (BU/GN), GD143 (BK/VT) or SBB07 (WH/RD)
- Short to battery in circuit CPR47 (GY/BN)
- Short to ground in circuit CPR47 (GY/BN)
- PRB module
- Smart junction box (SJB)

NOTE: If any door ajar or VSS-related DTCs are present, diagnose the door ajar and VSS-related DTCs before performing this pinpoint test.
