Communications Network

Pinpoint Tests

Pinpoint Test H: Intermittent No High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) Communication, One Or More Modules Are Not Responding During Network Test

Normal Operation

The High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) is used for communication between the PCM, the Smart Junction Box (SJB), the ABS module, the Restraints Control Module (RCM), the 4X4 control module (if equipped) and the Instrument Cluster (IC).

In the event that 1 of the 2 network circuits (HS-CAN + or HS-CAN -) becomes open to a module on the network, unreliable network communication to all modules on the network may result.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

- Wiring, terminals or connectors



PINPOINT TEST H: INTERMITTENT NO HS-CAN COMMUNICATION, ONE OR MORE MODULES ARE NOT RESPONDING DURING NETWORK TEST

NOTE: Various modules set network DTCs during this test procedure. Clear DTCs from all modules after the diagnostic procedure is completed.

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

Yes
REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the network test with the scan tool.

No
GO to H5.

-------------------------------------------------
H5 CHECK FOR RESTORED COMMUNICATION WITH THE PCM DISABLED


NOTE: An Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) session must be established prior to disabling the PCM in this test step. If the PCM has failed communication during multiple attempts to identify the vehicle, first identify the vehicle manually by entering a PCM part number, calibration number or tear tag when prompted by the IDS.

NOTE: When a vehicle is manually identified by a PCM part number, calibration number or tear tag, the IDS does not automatically run a network test. The network test must be manually selected and run.

NOTE: When re-running the network test, the network test application must be first closed or the screen display reverts back to the prior run network test results.

- Disconnect: Battery Junction Box (BJB) Fuses 21 (10A) and 39 (15A).
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Network Test.
- Repeat the network test.
- Do all other modules pass the network test?

Yes
INSTALL the removed fuses. GO to Pinpoint Test A. Pinpoint Test A: The PCM Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool

No
INSTALL the removed fuses. GO to H6.

-------------------------------------------------
H6 CHECK FOR RESTORED NETWORK COMMUNICATION WITH THE ABS MODULE DISABLED


NOTE: When re-running the network test, the network test application must be first closed or the screen display reverts back to the prior run network test results.

- Disconnect: Smart Junction Box (SJB) Fuse 20 (10A).
- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Network Test.
