Are the resistances less than 3 ohms?

Yes

GO to R4

No

REPAIR the circuit in question.

R4 CHECK FOR CORRECT PSCM (POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE) OPERATION

Ignition OFF. Disconnect and inspect all the PSCM connectors and related in-line connectors. Repair:

corrosion (install new connector or terminals - clean module pins) damaged or bent pins - install new terminals/pins pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary

Reconnect the PSCM connectors and related in-line 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 Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). If a TSB exists for this concern, DISCONTINUE this test and FOLLOW TSB instructions. If no Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) address this concern, REFER to the EPAS Symptom Chart.

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.

The Driver Seat Module (DSM) Does Not Respond To The Diagnostic Scan Tool

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 14 for schematic and connector information.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 123 for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The DSM communicates on the MS-CAN and communicates with the diagnostic scan tool through the HS-CAN2. Diagnostic messages are sent/received through the HS-CAN2 circuits at the DLC, and are translated through the GWM to the MS-CAN.

Possible Sources

Fuse Wiring, terminals and connector DSM

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks

Verify BJB fuse 12 (30A) and BCM fuse 2 (7.5A) are OK.
