- Check the resistance between the bcm terminals.
Is the measurement value within the specification? Yes >> go to 5.
No >> replace the ecm and/or the bcm.
5.Check symptom
Connect all the connectors. Check if the symptoms described in the “symptom (results from interview with customer)” are reproduced.
