1. CHECK FOR ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION RELATED DTCs
With the scan tool, check for any other lost communication codes.
Is there any other Lost Communication DTCs present?

Yes

- Check the J1850 Communication Circuits for any possible short to ground, short to voltage or open conditions.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

No

- Go To 2

2. (Z141) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN




Disconnect the Radio C2 harness connector.
Disconnect the Satellite Receiver harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the (Z141) Ground circuit at the Satellite Receiver harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Repair the (Z141) Ground circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

3. (X160) FUSED B+ CIRCUIT OPEN




Reconnect the Radio C2 harness connector.

Is the voltage above 10.0 volts?

Yes

- Go To5

No

- Repair the (X112) Ignition RUN/ACC Signal circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

5. (D25) PCI BUS CIRCUIT OPEN




Turn the ignition off.
Measure the resistance of the (D25) PCI BUS circuit between the Radio C2 harness connector and the Satellite Receiver harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?

Yes

- Replace the Satellite Receiver.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.

No

- Repair the (D25) PCI BUS circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1. Body Verification Test.
