The data link is the standard data link that is used by the ECM to communicate with the
electronic service tool.

The ECM provides multiple connections for the data link. The technician must ensure that the
correct connector is being tested. The connection that is used depends on the application.

If the diagnostic connector is off the engine, the positive data link signal will be from P1:48 to pin
"G" of the diagnostic connector. The negative data link signal will be from P1:59 to pin "F" of the
diagnostic connector.

If the diagnostic connector is on the engine, the positive data link signal will be from pin number
20 on the ECM Adapter to pin "G" of the diagnostic connector. The negative data link signal will
be from pin number 21 on the ECM Adapter to pin "G" of the diagnostic connector.

The following information refers to the pin number. Ensure that the correct connector is used.

Communication

The electronic service tool may indicate the following error message:

The version of the ECM is not recognized and the integrity of the changed parameters and
displayed data is not guaranteed.

This message will indicate that the version of the software that is in the electronic service tool is
obsolete. Install the latest version of the software for the electronic service tool to rectify the fault.

Batteries give off flammable fumes which can explode.

To avoid injury or death, do not strike a match, cause a spark, or

smoke in the vicinity of a battery.
 NOTICE
Do not connect the bypass harness to the battery until the in-
line fuse has been removed from the Battery+ line. If the fuse is
not removed before connection to the battery, a spark may
result.

the engine. Repair: Make sure that the latest flash
file for the application is installed in the
ECM. Refer to Troubleshooting, "ECM
Software - Install".

Remove all temporary jumpers and

reconnect all connectors.

Contact the Dealer Solutions Network

(DSN).

Note: This consultation can greatly

reduce the repair time.

If the DSN recommends the use of a

test ECM, install a test ECM. Refer to
Troubleshooting, "ECM - Replace".

Use the electronic service tool to

 recheck the system for active diagnostic
codes.

If the fault is eliminated with the test

ECM, reconnect the suspect ECM.

If the fault returns with the suspect

ECM, replace the ECM.

Use the electronic service tool to clear

all logged diagnostic codes and then
verify that the repair eliminates the fault.

If the fault is still present, contact the

DSN.
