VTSS Test 5A - VTSS Indicator Light

NOTE: Perform VTSS TEST 1A  before proceeding with this test. For connector terminal identification, refer to CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION  . For wiring diagrams, refer to WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Perform, after each repair, TEST VER-1A - VERIFICATION PROCEDURE  .
CAUTION: Always turn ignition switch to OFF position prior to disconnecting or connecting any module connector.
  1. Using scan tool, select THEFT ALARM, then MONITOR DISPLAY. Read VTSS status. If scan tool displays PCM status as 1) NO RESPONSE, 2) NO RESPONSE, see VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS  . If scan tool does not display PCM status as 1) NO RESPONSE, 2) NO RESPONSE and VTSS indicator light is on constantly, go to VTSS TEST 5B  . If scan tool does not display PCM status as 1) NO RESPONSE, 2) NO RESPONSE and VTSS indicator light is not on constantly, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition off. Locate instrument panel 10-pin connector at BCM/junction block. Disconnect connector. Ensure connector is clean and not damaged. Connect a jumper wire between ground and terminal No. 1 (Black/Orange wire) on BCM 10-pin connector. If VTSS indicator light does not illuminate, go to next step. If VTSS indicator light illuminates, replace Body Control Module (BCM).
  3. Locate and disconnect instrument cluster Red 13-pin connector behind instrument cluster. See Figure in INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TEST 8A. Ensure connector is clean and not damaged. Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, measure voltage at terminal No. 5 (Pink/Red wire) on instrument cluster Red 13-pin connector. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 10 volts or less, repair open in Pink/Red wire circuit.
  4. Using an external ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminal No. 7 (Black/Orange wire) on instrument cluster Red 13-pin connector and terminal No. 4 (Black/Orange wire) instrument panel 10-pin connector at BCM. If resistance is 5 ohms or greater, repair open in Black/Orange wire circuit. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace VTSS indicator light.
