Is there continuity?  

YES -Go to step 16. 

NO -Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E24) and the gauge control module. 

16. Check for continuity between VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector terminal No. 15 and body 

ground.

Is there continuity?  

YES -Go to step 18. 

NO -Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E24)' and the TPMS control unit. 

18. Reconnect the gauge control module 36P connector.  

19. Measure resistance between ECM/PCM connector terminals E11 and E24*.

Is there about 2.34-2.86 kohms ?  

YES -Go to step 20. 

NO -Substitute a known-good gauge control module (see REWRITING THE ODO DATA AND 
TRANSFERRING MAINTENANCE MINDER ON A NEW GAUGE CONTROL MODULE ). If 
the HDS identifies the vehicle, replace the original gauge control module (see REWRITING THE ODO 
DATA AND TRANSFERRING MAINTENANCE MINDER ON A NEW GAUGE CONTROL 
MODULE ). 

20. Disconnect the gauge control module 36P connector.  

21. Reconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector.  

22. Measure resistance between ECM/PCM connector terminals E11 and E24*.

Is there about 112 - 136 kohms?  

YES -Go to step 23. 

NO -Substitute a known-good VSA modulator-control unit (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL 
UNIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ). If the HDS identifies the vehicle, replace the original

VSA modulator-control unit (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL AND 
INSTALLATION ). 

23. Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector.  

24. Reconnect the TPMS control unit 20P connector.  

25. Measure resistance between ECM/PCM connector terminals E11 and E24.

Is there about 2.34-2.86 kohms?  

YES -Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), 
or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the 
symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM (see 
ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). 

NO -Substitute a known-good TPMS control unit (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ). 
If the HDS identifies the vehicle, replace the original TPMS control unit (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT 
REPLACEMENT ). 

26. Disconnect the gauge control module 36P connector (see REWRITING THE ODO DATA AND 

TRANSFERRING MAINTENANCE MINDER ON A NEW GAUGE CONTROL MODULE ).  

27. Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 47P connector (see VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL 

UNIT REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).  

28. Disconnect the TPMS control unit 20P connector (see TPMS CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT ).  

29. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal E11 and body ground.
