PINPOINT TEST AU: DTC U0142:87

-------------------------------------------------
AU1 VERIFY THE CUSTOMER CONCERN


- Ignition ON.
- Verify that there is an observable symptom present.
- Is an observable symptom present?

AU3 RETRIEVE THE RECORDED DTCs FROM THE IPC SELF-TEST


- Check for recorded DTCs from the IPC self-test.
- Is DTC U3003:16 or DTC U3003:17 recorded?

Yes
GO to Pinpoint Test AY (U3003:16) or GO to Pinpoint Test AZ (U3003:17). Pinpoint Test AY: DTC U3003:16 Pinpoint Test AZ: DTC U3003:17

No
GO to AU4.

-------------------------------------------------
AU4 RECHECK THE IPC DTCs


NOTE: If new modules were installed prior to the DTC being set, the module configuration may be incorrectly set during the Programmable Module Installation (PMI) or PMI may not have been carried out.

- Clear the DTCs. Repeat the IPC self-test.
- Is DTC U0140:87 still present?

Yes
INSTALL a new BCM-B. REFER to Multifunction Electronic Modules Body Control Module B (BCM-B). CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If DTC U0142:87 is still present, INSTALL a new IPC. REFER to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Service and Repair. TEST the system for normal operation.
