Diagnostic Procedure

Step	Inspection		Action
1	VERIFY BCM DTCs AGAIN • Clear the DTC for the BCM using the M-MDS. (See CLEARING DTC [BCM].) • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on) and wait for 5 s or more. • Retrieve the BCM DTCs using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [BCM].) • Is the same DTC displayed?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Go to Step 10.
2	INSPECT DC-DC CONVERTER CONNECTOR CONDITION • Switch the ignition off. • Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) • Disconnect the DC-DC converter connector. • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection. • Is the connector normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
2		No	Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 9.
3	INSPECT DC-DC CONVERTER POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT OR SHORT TO GROUND • Verify that the DC-DC connector is disconnected. • Connect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.) • Measure the voltage at the DC-DC converter terminal L (wiring harness-side). • Is the voltage B+?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Inspect the DCDC 50 A fuse (SKYACTIV-G 1.3, SKYACTIV-G 1.5), DCDC DE 40 A fuse (SKYACTIV-D 1.5) and GLOW 80 A fuse (SKYACTIV-D 1.5). • If the fuse is blown: ― Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following: • DCDC 50 A fuse—DC-DC converter terminal L (SKYACTIV-G 1.3, SKYACTIV-G 1.5) • GLOW 80 A fuse—DC-DC converter terminal L (SKYACTIV-D 1.5) If there is a common connector: • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground. • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground. • Replace the fuse. • If the fuse is damaged: ― Replace the fuse. • If the fuse is normal: ― Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between battery positive terminal and DC-DC converter terminal L. If there is a common connector: • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit. • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. If there is no common connector: • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit. Go to Step 9.
4	INSPECT DC-DC CONVERTER POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT OR SHORT TO GROUND • Verify that the DC-DC connector is disconnected. • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on). • Measure the voltage at the DC-DC converter terminal H (wiring harness-side). • Is the voltage B+?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Inspect the C/U IG1 15 A fuse. • If the fuse is blown: ― Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between C/U IG1 15 A fuse and DC-DC converter terminal H.

(See CLEARING DTC [BCM].) • Switch the ignition ON (engine off or on) and wait for 5 s or more. • Retrieve the BCM DTCs using the M-MDS. (See DTC INSPECTION [BCM].) • Is the same DTC displayed?	Yes	Repeat the inspection from Step 1. • If the malfunction recurs, replace the BCM. (See BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.) Go to the next step.
9		No	Go to the next step.
10	VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED • Are any other DTCs displayed?	Yes	Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting. (See DTC TABLE [BCM].)
10		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
