Normal Operation
The RCM communicates with the scan tool through the ISO 9141 communications network, circuit 70 (LB/WH). The RCM shares the ISO 9141 network with the parking aid module. Voltage for the RCM is provided by circuit 1654 (OG/YE). Ground is provided by circuit 1203 (BK/LB).
Possible Causes
- Fuse
- Circuit 70 (LB/WH) open
- Circuit 1654 (OG/YE) open
