Case Study 2006 Pontiac G6 - No Generic Communication
2006 Pontiac G6 • This vehicle was located at Haggerty Buick Pontiac. • The concern is that the vehicle will communicate with the tech 2 scantool, but would not communicate with APPLUS equipment.
2006 Pontiac G6 • The first step is to review communication schematics for the vehicle you are working on. • This is a GMLAN communication protocol.
2006 Pontiac G6 • The second step is to OHM test between DLC pins 6 and 14. • A BOB was attached to the vehicle at the DLC. • The ohm value we would like to see is 60 ohms.
2006 Pontiac G6 • The red ohmmeter lead was placed in pin 6 and the black lead was placed in pin 14. • The ohm value noted on the DVOM was .505 Mohms or 505,000 ohms.
2006 Pontiac G6 • The third step is to locate any modules that may house the terminating resistors. • The BCM and PCM have been located and identified as these modules.
2006 Pontiac G6 • The BCM C2 was then disconnected with the connector to the PCM left intact. • The ohm value on the DVOM was 120 ohms. (correct)
2006 Pontiac G6 • The BCM was then re-connected and the PCM C3 connector disconnected. • The ohm value on the DVOM was 120 ohms. (correct) The PCM connector was then re-installed. Generic communication was restored
Summary • There will be rare cases where a simple disconnect and re-connect may solve a communication issue . • It is interesting to note that this was the first request for testing on this subject vehicle.
Summary • No further concerns or issues were noted. • Generic communication has been restored. • Monitors must run and pass before returning to the emissions test facility.
