- If BCM diagnostic system check was performed, go to next step. If BCM diagnostic system check was not performed, go to BCM DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK under SYSTEM TESTS.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect scan tool. Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect splice pack SP205. See COMPONENT LOCATIONS . Using DVOM, individually check resistance between SP205 terminal "A" and each terminal "B", "E", "G", "L", and "M". See WIRING DIAGRAMS . See Figure . If resistance is less than 2 ohms at all terminals, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 2 ohms at all terminals, go to step 7 .
- Disconnect EBTCM Light Gray 24-pin connector C1. Using DVOM, check resistance between SP205 harness connector terminal "E" (Light Blue wire) and ground. If resistance is infinite, go to next step. If resistance is not infinite, go to step 8 .
- Turn ignition on. Using DVOM, check voltage between SP205 harness connector terminal "E" (Light Blue wire) and ground. If reading is less than 2 volts, go to next step. If reading is greater than 2 volts, go to step 9 .
- Using DVOM, check resistance between SP205 harness connector terminal "E" (Light Blue wire) and EBTCM harness connector C1 terminal A1 (Light Blue wire). If resistance is less than 2 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 2 ohms, go to step 10 .
- Turn ignition off. Reconnect EBTCM connector C1. Connect scan tool. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, attempt to establish communication with EBTCM. If scan tool communicates with EBTCM, go to step 12 . If scan tool does not communicate with EBTCM, go to STEP 11 .
- Replace splice pack SP205. Go to step 13 .
- Repair short to ground in Light Blue wire between EBTCM connector C1 and splice pack SP205. Go to step 13 .
- Repair short to battery in Light Blue wire between EBTCM connector C1 and splice pack SP205. Go to step 13 .
- Repair poor connection or open in Light Blue wire between EBTCM connector C1 and splice pack SP205. Go to step 13 .
- Class 2 serial data line is okay, but EBTCM is not communicating class 2 data because of internal malfunction. Go to appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKES article in BRAKES to diagnose and repair problem.
- System is operating properly at this time. See DIAGNOSTIC AIDS . After any repairs are made, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Reinstall all components and connectors. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, clear DTCs. Check for DTCs. If any DTCs are current, perform BCM DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK under SYSTEM TESTS. If no DTCs are current, system is operating properly.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
