Diagnostic Test
- INTERMITTENT DTC
- With the scan tool, erase the current Intrusion Transceiver Module DTCs.
- Turn the ignition off.
- Arm the VTSS and wait 1 minute.
- Disarm the VTSS and turn the ignition on.
Does the scan tool display the same DTC?
Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- The condition that caused this symptom is currently not present. Inspect the related wiring harness for a possible intermittent condition. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
- (A114) FUSED B+
- Gain access to the VTSS Siren.
- Disconnect the Siren connector.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (A114) Fused B(+) circuit in the Siren connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go to step 3
No
- Repair the (A114) Fused B+ circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
- (Z387) GROUND CIRCUIT
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z387) Ground circuit at the siren connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go to step 4
No
- Repair the (Z387) Ground circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12-volts, check the (Z387) Ground circuit at the siren connector.
- FAULTY SIREN
- Use the DRBIII® and set up as follows:
- Use the Scope input cable CH7058, Cable to Probe adapter CH7062, and the red and black test probes.
- Connect the scope input cable to the channel one connector on the DRBIII®. Attach the red and black leads and the cable to probe adapter to the scope input cable.
- Select DRBIII® Stand-alone.
- Select lab scope.
- Select Live.
- Select 12 volt square wave.
- Press F2 for Scope.
- Press F2 and use the down arrow to set voltage range to 20 volts. Press F2 again when complete.
- Disconnect the Siren connector.
- Connect the black lead to the chassis ground. Connect the red lead to the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit in the Siren connector.
- Close all doors and arm the VTSS.
- Observe the voltage displayed on the DRBIII® Lab Scope.
Is there a voltage square wave present 1 to 2 seconds?
Yes
- Connect a known good siren and try to reset the DTC. If the DTC does not reset the original siren needs to be replaced. If the DTC does reset replace the ITM.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 5
- (D96) SIREN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORT TO BATTERY
- Disconnect the Siren harness connector.
- Measure the voltage of the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit.
Is there any voltage present?
Yes
- Repair the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit for a short to voltage.
Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 6
- Repair the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit for a short to voltage.
- (D96) SIREN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
- Disconnect the Siren harness connector.
- Disconnect the Intrusion Transceiver Module harness connector.
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit.
Is the resistance above 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Go to step 7
No
- Repair the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
- (D96) SIREN SIGNAL CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN
- Disconnect the Intrusion Transceiver Module harness connector.
- Measure the resistance of the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit between the Intrusion Transceiver Module and the Siren connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
Yes
- Replace the Intrusion Transceiver Module in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Repair the (D96) Siren Signal Control circuit for an open.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
