Test M: The Satellite Digital Audio Receiver System (SDARS) Module Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool

PINPOINT TEST M: THE SATELLITE DIGITAL AUDIO RECEIVER SYSTEM (SDARS) MODULE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE SCAN TOOL

Normal Operation
The satellite digital audio receiver system (SDARS) module communicates with the scan tool through the medium speed controller area network (MS-CAN). Circuits VDB06 (GY/OG) (MS-CAN +) and VDB07 (VT/OG) (MS-CAN -) provide the network connection to the SDARS module. The SDARS module shares the MS-CAN with the instrument cluster (IC), the accessory protocol interface module (APIM), the smart junction box (SJB), the HVAC module (if equipped), the audio control module (ACM), the audio digital signal processing (DSP) module (if equipped), the rear entertainment module (RETM) (if equipped) (if equipped), the driver seat module (DSM) (if equipped), the parking aid module (PAM) (if equipped), the liftgate/trunk module (LTM) (if equipped) and the dual climate control seat module (DCSM) (if equipped). Voltage for the SDARS module is provided by circuit CBP13 (GY/BN). Circuit GD148 (BK/YE) provides ground.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- SDARS module
