wires in the harnesses as you make each
resistance measurement.

2. Check for an Open Circuit

A. Fabricate a jumper wire that is long enough

to create a test circuit across two terminals.
Create a short circuit between terminals D and
E on the service tool connector. Result: Each check of the resistance indicates
a short circuit.
B. Measure the resistance between P1-8 and
P1-9. Remove the jumper wire from the service tool
connector. Proceed to Test Step 3.

connector or in the harness.

Note: Perform this test only if you are
troubleshooting a problem with the CAN data
link.
A. At the service tool connector, measure the
resistance between the terminals for the CAN
data link. The resistance should be between
45Ω to 75Ω.
Repair: Repair the problem.
Result: The resistance is approximately
120Ω. There is a problem with a termination
resistor.
Repair: At least one measurement is less than
5Ω. The wiring for a data link has a short
circuit. Determine the cause of the missing
termination resistor. Repair the problem,
when possible. Replace parts, if necessary.
Verify that the problem is resolved.

Result: The resistance is greater than 140Ω.

There is a problem with both termination
resistors.

Repair: Determine the cause of the problem.

Repair the problem, when possible. Replace
parts, if necessary.

If the problem is not resolved, contact your Technical Communicator (TC). For further assistance, the TC can
confer with the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN).
