Pinpoint Test I: The SODR (Side Obstacle Detection Control Module RH) Does Not Respond To Diagnostic Scan Tool
- Refer to VEHICLE EMERGENCY MESSAGING SYSTEM
for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
The SODR communicates with the IPMA through a private CAN bus.
Possible Sources
- Wiring, terminals and connector
- SODR
- I1 CHECK FOR IPMA (IMAGE PROCESSING MODULE A) NETWORK CONNECTION
- Ignition ON.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, carry out the network test.
Does the IPMA pass the network test?
Yes GO to I2 No DIAGNOSE an IPMA communication concern. REFER to: Controller Area Network (CAN) Module Communications Network . - I2 CHECK THE SODR (SIDE OBSTACLE DETECTION CONTROL MODULE RH) VOLTAGE SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: SODR C4732
- Ignition ON.
Is the voltage greater than 11 volts?
Yes GO to I3 No REPAIR the circuits. - I3 CHECK THE SODR (SIDE OBSTACLE DETECTION CONTROL MODULE RH) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes GO to I5 No GO to I4 - I4 CHECK THE SODR (SIDE OBSTACLE DETECTION CONTROL MODULE RH) GROUND CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN BY ISOLATING IPMA (IMAGE PROCESSING MODULE A)
- Disconnect IPMA C4242B.
Is the resistance less than 3 ohms?
Yes GO to I10 No REPAIR the circuits. - I5 CHECK THE PRIVATE CAN (CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK) CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition ON.
Is any voltage present?
Yes REPAIR the circuit in question. No GO to I6 - I6 CHECK THE PRIVATE CAN (CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK) CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to I7 No REPAIR the circuit in question. - I7 CHECK THE PRIVATE CAN (CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK) CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TOGETHER
Are the resistances greater than 10, 000 ohms?
Yes GO to I8 No REPAIR the circuits. - I8 CHECK THE PRIVATE CAN (CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK) CIRCUITS FOR AN OPEN
- Measure:
Positive Lead Measurement / Action Negative Lead C4732 Pin 3 C4242B Pin 13 C4732 Pin 2 C4242B Pin 12
Are the resistances less than 3 ohms?
Yes GO to I9 No REPAIR the circuits. - Measure:
- I9 CHECK FOR CORRECT SODR (SIDE OBSTACLE DETECTION CONTROL MODULE RH) OPERATION
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect and inspect the SODR connector and related in-line connectors.
- Repair:
- Corrosion (clean module pins or install new connectors or terminals)
- Damaged or bent pins (install new terminals or pins)
- Pushed-out pins (install new pins as necessary)
- Reconnect the SODR connector and related in-line connectors. Make sure all connectors seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new SODR. REFER to: Side Obstacle Detection Control Module (SODCM) If the concern is still present, GO to I10 No The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues. - I10 CHECK FOR CORRECT IPMA (IMAGE PROCESSING MODULE A) OPERATION
- Disconnect and inspect all the IPMA connectors.
- Repair:
- Corrosion (clean module pins or install new connectors or terminals)
- Damaged or bent pins (install new terminals or pins)
- Pushed-out pins (install new pins as necessary)
- Reconnect the IPMA connectors. Make sure they seat and latch correctly.
- Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
Is the concern still present?
Yes CHECK OASIS for any applicable service articles TSB, GSB, SSM or FSA. If a service article exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW the service article instructions. If no service articles address this concern, INSTALL a new IPMA. REFER to: Image Processing Module A (IPMA) No The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by module connections. ADDRESS the root cause of any connector or pin issues.
