- Ignition OFF, connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire to terminal M of JX305.
- While communicating with the BCM, individually move the other end of the jumper wire to each of the terminals of JX305 and verify that communication remains available to the BCM.
- If communication is interrupted, test the serial data circuit between JX305 and the last module connected for a short to ground or a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the module that caused no communication.
IMPORTANT:
After each connection, wait for 5 seconds to determine that communication remains available.
