NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose terminals between ECM/PCM connector A (49P) and the VSA modulator-control unit 36P connector. Refer to intermittent failures troubleshooting.
5. Check for the fuel and emission systems DTCs with the HDS.

Are you able to retrieve fuel and emission systems DTCs?

YES - Troubleshoot the fuel and emission systems DTCs, then go to step 6.

NO - Go to F-CAN circuit troubleshooting.

6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
7. Short the SCS line with the HDS.
8. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (49P).
9. Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 36P connector.
10. Check for continuity between the VSA modulator control unit 36P connector terminal and ECM/PCM connector A (49P) terminal (see table).





Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 11.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM and the VSA modulator-control unit.

11. Reconnect all connectors.
12. Update the VSA modulator-control unit if it does not have the latest software. If the unit already has the latest software, substitute a known-good VSA modulator-control unit.
13. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), then turn it to ON (II) again.
14. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC 86-01 indicated?

YES - Check for loose terminals in the VSA modulator-control unit 36P connector, and inspect G202 for a loose or poor connection. If the VSA modulator-control unit was updated, substitute a known-good VSA modulator-control unit, then retest. If the VSA modulator-control unit was substituted, go to step 1.

NO - If the VSA modulator-control unit was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the VSA modulator-control unit was substituted, replace the original VSA modulator-control unit. If any other DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.
