Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
Pinpoint Test Applicability
- This test applies to PSCMDTC U3000:96 ONLY. This test does not apply to any other module except the PSCM.
DTC Diagnostic Strategy
- If the module DTC list results in a large number of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), diagnose all module hard faults first (C102D, C1B00, C200B, C200C, C200D, U2011 and U3000) before diagnosing any network faults (lost communication or invalid data). If voltage concern Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are present, diagnose those after any module hard faults and before any network faults. Diagnose all current and active Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) before diagnosing any historic Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Diagnostic Aids
- DO NOT install a new PSCM as part of the repair for PSCMDTC U3000:96.
- 2 key cycles may be required to clear the DTC after completing the Reset the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) service function.
