⁽¹⁾	This multimeter can use an RS232C cable to connect to a Laptop computer or Dataview tool gp for troubleshooting.

Prior to beginning this procedure, inspect the harness connectors that are involved in this circuit. Poor connections can often be the cause of a problem in an electrical circuit. Verify that all connections in the circuit are clean, secure, and in good condition. Check the wiring for pinch points or abrasions. Look for and repair areas that indicate wires are exposed. If a problem with a connection is found, correct the problem and verify that this diagnostic code is active before performing a troubleshooting procedure.

Identify the active FMI code associated with the components.
Determine which code is present and use the list below to determine which procedure to follow.

FMI 9 diagnostic code, proceed to "FMI 9".
FMI 14 diagnostic code, proceed to "FMI 14".

Repair: There is a short between frame ground and the contacts of the CAN data link circuit in the machine harness. Repair or replace the machine harness. Note: A resistance that is greater than 5 Ω but less than 5K Ω would indicate a loose connection or a corroded connection in the circuit. A resistance measurement that is greater than 5K Ω would indicate an open in the circuit. Proceed to "Check If The Diagnostic Code Remains", Table 12.

Check The Data Link For An Open
Troubleshooting Test Steps	Values	Results
Note: Two 120 Ω resistors should be on the CAN Data Link. A resistance of 60 Ω should be found at any point on the data link. 1. The key start switch and disconnect switch are OFF. 2. Use an electrical spoon to connect to the back of the harness connector for each ECM that has communication issues. 3. Measure the resistance across the CAN line at each connector to find the open wire. If the resistance measurement is 60 Ω, that connector does not have an open between either terminating resistor. If the resistance measurement is 120 Ω, there is an open at that connector, between one of the terminating resistors. If the resistance is greater than 5K Ω, there is an open between that connector and both terminating resistors. If there is a measurement of 40 Ω, there is an extra terminating resistor somewhere on the line. Once the section of harness containing the open is isolated, repair or replace the machine harness.	All resistance measurements are between 55 and 65 Ω	Result: The resistance measurements are correct. Proceed to "Check If The Diagnostic Code Remains", Table 12. Result: At least one resistance measurement is greater than 65 Ω. If the resistance is approximately 115 to 125 Ω. There is an open in the harness. Repair: Repair or replace the machine harness. Proceed to "Check If The Diagnostic Code Remains", Table 12. Result: At least one resistance measurement is less than 55 Ω. Repair: Look for the source of the short by disconnecting the terminating resistors and check the resistance again. If the resistance is still under 55 Ω, continue disconnecting ECMs and devices from the CAN circuit until the resistance goes up. If everything is disconnected from the CAN circuit, and the resistance still is less than 55 Ω the harness has failed. Repair or replace the machine harness.
