  3. With PATS module 16-pin connector C217 disconnected, inspect pin No. 6 on module. If pin No. 6 is okay, go to next step. If pin No. 6 is not okay, service pin No. 6. If pin is not serviceable, replace PATS module. Reconnect connectors. Repeat DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS under COMMUNICATION NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS .
  4. Measure resistance between DLC pin No. 2 (Tan/Orange wire) and PATS module 16-pin connector C217 pin No. 5 (Pink/Light Blue wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace PATS module. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair circuit No. 914 (Tan/Orange wire) and circuit No. 915 (Pink/Light Blue wire) between DLC and PATS module 16-pin connector C217. Reconnect connectors.

If connector or pin No. 5 is damaged, repair as necessary. Reconnect connectors. Repeat DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS  under COMMUNICATION NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS.
  6. With PATS module 16-pin connector C217 disconnected, inspect pin No. 5 on module. If pin No. 5 is okay, go to next step. If pin No. 5 is damaged, service pin No. 5. If pin is not serviceable, replace PATS module. Reconnect connectors. Repeat DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS under COMMUNICATION NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS .
  7. Measure resistance between DLC pin No. 10 (Pink/Light Blue wire) and PATS module 16-pin connector C217 pin No. 6 (Tan/Orange wire). If resistance is less than 5 ohms, replace PATS module. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair circuit No. 914 (Tan/Orange wire) and circuit No. 915 (Pink/Light Blue wire) between DLC and PATS module 16-pin connector C217. Reconnect connectors. Repeat DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS under COMMUNICATION NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS .
