Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Locate Front Controls Interface Module 'B' and visually inspect the module and connector for water damage, corrosion, or burnt components

2

Step 2: Check fuses and power supply circuits to the module; verify battery voltage is present

3

Step 3: Inspect and test CAN bus wiring between gateway and the interface module for continuity and proper resistance (60 ohms typical across CAN High and Low)

4

Step 4: Test module ground circuit for proper connection and low resistance to chassis ground

5

Step 5: If wiring is intact, attempt module reset or reprogramming; replace module if communication cannot be restored

Estimated Repair Cost

$150 - $800
