Diagnostic Test
- 1) TEST FOR INTERMITTENT CONDITION
Turn the ignition on.
NOTE: Ensure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.With the scan tool, select ECU view.
NOTE: A red X will be next to the module that is not communicating, indicating that the module is not active on the Bus network. A green check indicates that the module is active on the Bus network.Does the scan tool display a red X next to the module?
Yes
- Go To step 2).
No
- The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.
- 2) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED
Disconnect the Steering Control Module C1 harness connector.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the Fused Ignition Switch circuit.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To step 3).
No
- Repair the Fused Ignition Switch circuit for an open or short.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
- 3) GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Steering Control Module C2 harness connector.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the ground circuits.
Does the test light illuminate brightly for each circuit?
Yes
- Go To step 4).
No
- Repair the ground circuit for an open.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
- 4) CAN C BUS (+) CIRCUIT OPEN Fig 3: Measuring The Resistance Of The CAN C Bus (+) Circuit Between The Ignition Switch Connector And The SCM Connector

Disconnect the Ignition Switch C4 harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the CAN C Bus (+) circuit between the Ignition Switch connector and the SCM connector.
Is resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Go To step 5).
No
- Repair the CAN C Bus (+) circuit for an open.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
- 5) CAN C BUS (-) CIRCUIT OPEN Fig 4: Measuring The Resistance Of The CAN C Bus (-) Circuit Between The Ignition Switch Connector And The SCM Connector

Measure the resistance of the CAN C Bus (-) circuit between the Ignition Switch connector and the SCM connector.
Is resistance below 5.0 ohms?
Yes
- Replace the Steering Control Module in accordance with the service information.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
No
- Repair the CAN C Bus (-) circuit for an open.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1 .
