Normal Operation
The PCM communicates with the scan tool through the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN). Circuits 4-EC7 (GY/RD) (HS-CAN +) and 5-EC7 (BU/RD) provide the network connection to the PCM. The PCM shares the HS-CAN with the anti-lock brake system (ABS) module, the restraints control module (RCM), the occupant classification sensor module, and the instrument cluster. Circuit 30-RE8 (RD) provides voltage, and redundant circuits 91-RE8 (BK/YE) provide ground.

Possible Causes
- Fuse
- Circuit 30-RE8 (RD) open
- Circuit 91-RE8 (BK/YE) open
- Circuit 4-EC7 (GY/RD) open, short to ground or voltage (HS-CAN +)
- Circuit 5-EC7 (BU/RD) open, short to ground or voltage (HS-CAN -)
- Circuit 4-EC7 (GY/RD) (HS-CAN +) and circuit 5-EC7 (BU/RD) (HS-CAN -) shorted together
- PCM
- ABS module
- RCM
- Occupant classification sensor module
- Instrument cluster.
