Pinpoint Test G: The Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) Is Completely Inoperative (Vehicles Without Navigation)

Normal Operation

The Front Display Interface Module (FDIM) receives voltage through circuit SBP14 (BN/RD), and ground through circuit GD114 (BK/BU). The ignition switch position message is sent to the FDIM by the Smart Junction Box (SJB) via the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN).

Button press information is also sent from the FDIM to the Audio Control Module (ACM) via the MS-CAN. If the FDIM screen operates correctly but the FDIM buttons are inoperative, Go To Pinpoint Test I.
