Multifunction Electronic Modules - Generic Electronic Module (GEM) Galaxy 2000.75 (04/2000-02/2006)
Diagnosis and Testing

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Section 419-10, for schematic and connector information.

Inspection and Checking

  1. CHECK the concern.
  1. Visually CHECK for any obvious mechanical or electrical damage.

Visual Inspection

Electrical
  • Fuses
  • Wiring harness
  • Connectors
  1. RECTIFY any obvious causes for a concern found during the visual inspection before performing any further tests. CHECK the operation of the system.
  1. If the concern persists after the visual inspection, CARRY OUT a fault diagnosis on the generic electronic module (GEM) with WDS and RECTIFY any displayed faults in accordance with the fault description. CHECK the operation of the system.
  1. If no fault code is stored, CONTINUE with the Symptom Chart.

System Check

PINPOINT TEST A : GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE (GEM) NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC UNIT

TEST CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS
A1: CHECK FUSE F31
1
CHECK fuse F31 (CJB).

Is the fuse OK?
Yes
No
RENEW fuse F31 (3 A). CHECK the operation of the system. If the fuse blows again, LOCATE and REPAIR the short to ground using the Wiring Diagrams.
A2: CHECK THE VOLTAGE AT FUSE F31
1
Connect fuse F31 (CJB).
2
Ignition switch in position I.
3
Measure the voltage between fuse F31 (3 A) and ground.

Does the meter display battery voltage?
Yes
No
REPAIR the voltage supply to fuse F31 using the Wiring Diagrams. CHECK the operation of the system.
A3: CHECK FUSE F3
1
Ignition switch in position 0.
2
CHECK fuse F3 (CJB).

Is the fuse OK?
Yes
No
RENEW fuse F3 (5 A). CHECK the operation of the system. If the fuse blows again, LOCATE and REPAIR the short to ground using the Wiring Diagrams.
A4: CHECK THE VOLTAGE AT FUSE F3
1
Connect fuse F3 (CJB).
2
Ignition switch in position II.
3
Measure the voltage between fuse F3 (5 A) and ground.

Does the meter display battery voltage?
Yes
No
REPAIR the voltage supply to fuse F3 using the Wiring Diagrams. CHECK the operation of the system.
A5: CHECK THE VOLTAGE AT THE GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE (GEM)
1
Ignition switch in position 0.
2
Disconnect GEM C1.
3
Ignition switch in position I.

4
Measure the voltage between the GEM, connector C1, pin 19 (BN/WH), wiring harness side and ground.

Does the meter display battery voltage?
Yes
No
LOCATE and REPAIR the break in the circuit between the GEM and fuse F31 with the aid of the Wiring Diagrams. CHECK the operation of the system.
A6: CHECK THE VOLTAGE AT THE GEM
1
Ignition switch in position II.

2
Measure the voltage between the GEM, connector C1, pin 2 (BK), wiring harness side and ground.

Does the meter display battery voltage?
Yes
No
LOCATE and REPAIR the break in the circuit between the GEM and soldered connection S3 using the Wiring Diagrams. CHECK the operation of the system.
A7: CHECK THE VOLTAGE AT THE GEM

1
Measure the voltage between the GEM, connector C1, pin 16 (BK/YE), wiring harness side and ground.

Does the meter display battery voltage?
Yes
No
LOCATE and REPAIR the break in the circuit between the GEM and soldered connection S8 using the Wiring Diagrams. CHECK the operation of the system.
A8: CHECK THE GEM GROUND CONNECTION
1
Ignition switch in position 0.
2
Disconnect GEM C7.
3
Disconnect GEM C4.

4
Measure the resistance between the GEM, connector C7, pin 3 (BN), wiring harness side and ground.

5
Measure the resistance between the GEM, connector C4, pin 4 (BN), wiring harness side and ground.

Is a resistance of less than 2 Ohms measured in both cases?
Yes
No
One measurement is greater than 2 Ohms: LOCATE and REPAIR the break in the circuit between the GEM and soldered connection S30 using the Wiring Diagrams. CHECK the operation of the system.
Both measurements are greater than 2 Ohms: LOCATE and REPAIR the break in the relevant circuit between soldered connection S30 and ground connection G100 using the Wiring Diagrams. CHECK the operation of the system.
A9: CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE GEM AND THE DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC)
1
Disconnect GEM C3.

2
Measure the resistance between the GEM, connector C3, pin 7 (GY/WH), wiring harness side and the DLC, connector C199, pin 7 (GY/WH), wiring harness side.

Is a resistance of less than 2 Ohms registered?
Yes
CHECK the GEM and RENEW as necessary. CHECK the operation of the system.
No
LOCATE and REPAIR the break in the relevant circuit between the GEM and soldered connection S6 using the Wiring Diagrams. CHECK the operation of the system.
