Checking diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in the central electronic module
If there are diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the central electronic module for communication problems or for the back-up (reversing) lamp, these must be fault traced first.
Were diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored for communication problems or for the back-up (reversing) lamp in the central electronic module?
Yes - These DTCs must be fault traced first before continuing
No - Checking the transmission
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the transmission
Is the car equipped with automatic transmission?
Yes - Checking wiring and terminals (automatic transmissions)
No - Checking back-up (reversing) lamp switch
-------------------------------------------------
Checking wiring and terminals (automatic transmissions)
- Ignition off.
Check the brake control module and transmission control module (TCM) connectors. Check for damaged or bent terminal pins. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Check the wiring for CAN communication between brake control module terminal #11 (#A11) and terminal #2 (#B12) on the transmission control module (TCM) and between brake control module terminal #15 (#A15) and terminal #14 (#B24) on the transmission control module (TCM). Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Remedy as necessary.

Continue - Verification
-------------------------------------------------
Signal too low. Permanent fault
Checking back-up (reversing) lamp switch
- Ignition off.
Hint: Check the back-up (reversing) light switch resistance between connector 54/1 terminal #24 and ground with gears 1 to 5 engaged. Resistance should be high.
The back-up gear switch should be open in all gear positions except back-up gear.
Remedy as necessary.
Other information:
- To access the back-up (reversing) lamp switch, see Back-up lamp switch, replacing Service and Repair.
Was a fault detected?
Yes - Verification
No - Checking the cable
------------------------
Checking the cable
Check the cable between the central electronic module (CEM) terminal #1A and the back-up (reversing) lamp switch terminal #2 (3/10). Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Remedy as necessary.

Was a fault detected?
Yes - Verification
No - Replacing the component
------------------------
Replacing the component
Try replacing the back-up (reversing) lamp switch.
Other information:
- To access the back-up (reversing) lamp switch, see Back-up lamp switch, replacing Service and Repair.
Continue - Verification
------------------------
Verification
Hint: After the repair it is necessary to check that the fault has been rectified.
- Ignition off.
- Connect connectors, install components etc.
- Ignition on.
Reversing light should not come on when gears 1 to 5 are selected.
Does it work?
Yes - Verification completed
No - Fault-tracing information
-------------------------------------------------
Fault-tracing information
Information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
Yes - Exit Fault-Tracing
No - Attempt New Test
-------------------------------------------------
Verification
Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off
- Reconnect the connectors, reinstall components etc.
- Test drive the car. See Test Drive Form (DSTC (dynamic stability and traction control) /brake control module), description Test Drive Form (DSTC (Dynamic Stability And Traction Control) /Brake Control Module), Description
- Ignition on.
Read off the status of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Is the status of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) intermittent?
Yes - Verification completed
No - Fault-tracing information
-------------------------------------------------
Fault-tracing information
Information
