No Response from Powertrain Control Module






For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.






Test Step 1 - Test for Intermittent Condition

Check for any TSBs related to the condition. Perform any applicable procedures outlined in the TSBs before continuing.

Turn the ignition on.

Ensure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.

With the scan tool, select ECU view.

A red X will be next to the module that is not communicating, indicating that the module is not active on the bus network. A green check indicates that the module is active on the bus network.

Check the totally integrated power module for any active CAN C hardware DTCs, resolve the DTCs before proceeding.

Does the scan tool display a red X next to the module?

Yes

Go to Test Step 2

No

The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.

Perform the Powertrain Verification Test. Refer to => [ PCM Verification Test ] PCM Verification Test

Test Step 2 - Attempt to Communicate with the PCM

With the scan tool in ECU View, observe the status of the PCM.

Does the scan tool display a red X next to the PCM?

Yes

Perform the No Response from PCM diagnostic procedure. Refer to => [ No Response from Powertrain Control Module ] No Response from Powertrain Control Module

No

Go to Test Step 3

Test Step 3 - CAN C Bus (+) Circuit Open






Turn the ignition off.

Disconnect the TIPM C1 harness connector.

Measure the resistance of the CAN C bus (+) circuit between the TIPM connector and the appropriate terminal of the special tool #8815.

Is the resistance less than 5.0 ohms?

Yes

Go to Test Step 4

No

Repair the CAN C bus (+) circuit for an open.

Perform the Powertrain Verification Test. Refer to => [ PCM Verification Test ] PCM Verification Test

Test Step 4 - CAN C Bus (-) Circuit Open






Measure the resistance of the CAN C bus (-) circuit between the TIPM connector and the appropriate terminal of the special tool #8815.

Is the resistance less than 5.0 ohms?

Yes

Replace and program the PCM.

Perform the Powertrain Verification Test. Refer to => [ PCM Verification Test ] PCM Verification Test.

No

Repair the CAN C bus (-) circuit for an open.

Perform the Powertrain Verification Test. Refer to => [ PCM Verification Test ] PCM Verification Test.
