Does the RCM (Restraints Control Module) pass the network test?

Yes
GO to K3.

No
REFER to Information Bus.

K3 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE ABS MODULE AND RCM (Restraints Control Module) MODULE SELF-TESTS

- Check for recorded receiving module and transmitting module DTCs from the self-test.

Is DTC B11E8:16 (U3003:16) or DTC B11E8:17 (U3003:17) recorded?

Yes
For DTC B11E8:16, GO to Pinpoint Test A Pinpoint Test A: DTC B11E8:16.

- Ignition ON.

- Wait 10 seconds.

- Enter the following diagnostic mode on the scan tool: Self-Test.

- Retrieve the continuous memory DTCs from all modules.

Is DTC U0151:00 set in the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM)?

Yes
INSTALL a new RCM (Restraints Control Module). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the ABS module self-test.

No
