- Ignition OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the steering column control module (SCCM).
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1.0 volt between the low speed GMLAN serial data circuit of the DLC and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for a short to voltage.
- Test for infinite resistance between the serial data circuit of the DLC and ground.
- If less than infinite resistance, test the serial data circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for less than 1.0 ohm in the serial data circuit between the DLC and the SCCM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the serial data circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Disconnect the X1 harness connector at the SDM, install a 3A fused jumper wire from the SDM terminal 35 to the harness side of X1.
- With a scan tool, attempt to communicate with the IPC.
- If communication is established, refer to Diagnostic 2.
