Condition
Some customers may comment on one or more of the following conditions:
- Loss of power
- MIL illuminated
- Gauges dropping out
- Multiple warning lights and/or messages
Technicians may find one or more of the following DTCs stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM):
– P0700, P150C, P15FD, P2544, P308D, U0073, U0101, U0129, U0140, U0146, U183A, U18D5, U18D7, U2413, U0121, U0100, U0401, U0131
Cause
This condition may be caused by high resistance on the HSCAN BUS circuits 2500/2501 between the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) and the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM).
Correction
With the battery disconnected, verify the resistance of the HSBUS circuits across 2500, 2501 splitting the circuit at the X115 electrical connector. Refer to Master Electrical Component List in SI. Looking for any unwanted resistance (ex. 126.7 or something other than in the range of 120 ohms). If stray resistance is traced down to one of the module connector terminals, verify terminal tension and ensure there is no damage to the terminal. If the terminal is good, then apply dielectric grease to the terminals.
If the terminals are damaged or have poor terminal tension, replace with terminated leads at the suspect module connector and apply dielectric grease to the connector.

With the battery disconnected, verify the resistance of the HSBUS circuits across 2500,
2501 splitting the circuit at the X115 electrical connector. Refer to Master Electrical
Component List in SI. Looking for any unwanted resistance (ex. 126.7 or something other
than in the range of 120 ohms). If stray resistance is traced down to one of the module
connector terminals, verify terminal tension and ensure there is no damage to the
terminal. If the terminal is good, then apply dielectric grease to the terminals.
If the terminals are damaged or have poor terminal tension, replace with terminated leads
at the suspect module connector and apply dielectric grease to the connector.
Service Procedure
