Signal missing
Checking the wiring
- Ignition off
- Disconnect connectors D and C from the central electronic module (CEM).
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates that the communication between the light switch module (LSM), central electronic module (CEM) and combustion preheater module (CPM) is not working. This may be due to a fault in the signal cable between the control modules or a damaged communication device in one or all of the control modules.
Check the signal cable. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Take readings between:
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #D41 (#41) and light switch module (LSM) terminal #3
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal #C32 (#32) and combustion preheater module (CPM) terminal #6.
Remedy as necessary.
