Fault-Tracing Information






Fault-tracing

Checking the battery voltage




- Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle.
- Connect a voltmeter between the battery positive and negative terminals.
The voltage must be normal system voltage. If the voltage is too low, check the charging system according to the relevant information.

Was the voltage too low?

Yes - FAULT FOUND

No - Checking the power supply

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the power supply




- Ignition off.
Check the connector of the Brake control module (BCM). Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Check the power supply cable between the Brake control module (BCM) fuse in the engine compartment relay/fuse box and terminal #A32 (#32). Check for a short circuit to ground.

Hint: With the ignition on and the voltmeter connected between terminals #A32 (#32) and #A47 (#A47) on the breakout box, the voltmeter should show battery voltage.
