AC9 CHECK FOR CORRECT GWM (GATEWAY MODULE A) OPERATION

Ignition OFF. Disconnect and inspect all GWM 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 GWM connector 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, INSTALL a new GWM. REFER to: Gateway Module A (GWM) (418-00 Module Communications Network, Removal and Installation).

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.

No High Speed Controller Area Network 1 (HS-CAN1) Communication, All Modules Are Not Responding

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

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

The HS-CAN1 modules communicate with the diagnostic scan tool directly through the DLC circuits. REFER to: Communications Network (418-00 Module Communications Network) .
