No Response from Totally Integrated Power Module

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to.






Test Step 1 - Test for Intermittent Condition

• Turn the ignition on.

• Ensure the IOD fuse is installed and battery voltage is between 10.0 and 16.0 volts.

• Ensure the scan tool is updated to the latest software.

• If the scan tool displays any error messages involving the Diagnostic CAN C circuits, diagnose and repair the error message before proceeding.

• A loss of communication with the TIPM can cause the ECU View button on the scan tool to be inoperative.

• With the scan tool, attempt to select ECU View.

Can the scan tool communicate with the TIPM?

Yes

• The no response condition is not present at this time. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring for chafed, pierced, pinched, and partially broken wires and the wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out, and corroded terminals.

No

• Go to Test Step 2

Test Step 2 - Fused B (+) Circuits Open at TIPM

• Disconnect the scan tool from the DLC.

• Using a test lamp connected to ground, and using the wiring diagram as a guide, check all fused B (+) circuits at the TIPM.

Does the test lamp illuminate brightly for each circuit?

Yes

• Go to Test Step 3

No

• Repair the fused B(+) circuit for an open or short.

• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => [ Body Verification Test ] Body Interior.

Test Step 3 - Fused Ignition Switch Output Circuits Open at TIPM

• Turn the ignition on.

• Using a test lamp connected to ground, and using the wiring diagram as a guide, check each fused ignition switch output circuit at the TIPM.

Does the test lamp illuminate brightly for each circuit?

Yes

• Go to Test Step 4

No

• Repair the fused ignition switch output circuit for an open.

• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => [ Body Verification Test ] Body Interior.

Test Step 4 - Ground Circuits Open at TIPM

• Turn the ignition off.

• Using a test lamp connected to 12 volts, and using the wiring diagram as a guide, check all ground circuits at the TIPM.

Does the test lamp illuminate brightly on each circuit?

Yes

• Go to Test Step 5

No

• Repair the ground circuit that did not light the test lamp for an open.

• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => [ Body Verification Test ] Body Interior.

Test Step 5 - Check for Diagnostic CAN C (+) Circuit Open at DLC






• Disconnect the TIPM C3 harness connector.

• Measure the resistance on the diagnostic CAN C (+) circuit between the TIPM C3 harness connector and the DLC.

Is the resistance more than 10.0 ohms?

Yes

• Repair the diagnostic CAN C (+) circuit for an open.

• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => [ Body Verification Test ] Body Interior.

No

• Go to Test Step 6

Test Step 6 - Check for Diagnostic CAN C (-) Circuit Open at DLC






• Measure the resistance on the diagnostic CAN C (-) circuit between the TIPM C3 harness connector and the DLC.

Is the resistance more than 10.0 ohms?

Yes

• Repair the diagnostic CAN C (-) circuit for an open.

• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => [ Body Verification Test ] Body Interior.

No

• Go to Test Step 7

Test Step 7 - Check for Diagnostic CAN C Circuits Shorted Together






• Measure the resistance between the diagnostic CAN C (+) circuit and the diagnostic CAN C (-) circuit at the TIPM C3 harness connector.

Is the resistance less than 100.0 ohms?

Yes

• Repair the diagnostic CAN C (+) circuit for a short to the diagnostic CAN C (-) circuit.

• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => [ Body Verification Test ] Body Interior.

No

• Replace the TIPM.

• Perform the Body Verification Test. Refer to => [ Body Verification Test ] Body Interior.
