Drive Authorization System Communication Error With EIS (CGW)






1630 DRIVE AUTHORIZATION SYSTEM COMMUNICATION ERROR WITH EIS (CGW)

For a complete wiring diagram refer to Diagrams/Electrical.

- When Monitored:

Ignition on.

- Set Condition:

The ECM lost communication over the CAN Bus circuit with the EIS. The circuit is continuously monitored.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding.

Refer to Testing for diagnostic procedures and for further possible causes.

Diagnostic Test

1. ACTIVE DTC

NOTE: Review the vehicle repair history. If the Electronic Ignition Switch/Central Gateway Module has been replaced, ensure the that it has been programmed correctly.

Ignition on, engine not running.

With a scan tool, read DTCs.

Is the DTC active at this time?

Yes

- Go To 3

No

- Go To 2

2. INTERMITTENT CONDITION

NOTE: Check for any of the follow conditions:
- Poor wire to terminal connection
- Corroded terminals
- Backed out or loose terminals
- Broken wire internal to the insulation
- Dirty (partial) module ground

Were any of the above condition present?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.
- Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. TPM Verification Test

No

DTC is not active at this time. Test complete.

3. OTHER COMMUNICATION DTC(S)

Using the scan tool, check other CAN C modules.

Are communication DTC(s) present?

Yes

- Refer to Testing

No

- Go To 4

4. MEASURE VOLTAGE AT TPM MODULE

Turn the ignition on.

Gain access to the ECM harness connector, but do not disconnect.

Backprobe and measure the voltage on both the CAN C Bus (+) and the CAN C (-) circuits.

NOTE: With the BUS active, the voltmeter should read, CAN C Bus (-) 1.59 volts and CAN C Bus (+) 2.55 volts. The voltage will fluctuate due to communication.

Does the voltmeter read the correct voltages?

Yes

- Replace the ECM.
- Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. TPM Verification Test

No - CAN C Bus (-)

- Repair the open in the CAN C Bus (-).
- Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. TPM Verification Test

No - CAN C Bus (+)

- Repair the open in the CAN C Bus (+)
- Perform TPM VERIFICATION TEST. TPM Verification Test
