(1) This multimeter can use an RS232C cable to connect to a Laptop computer or Dataview tool gp for troubleshooting.

Prior to beginning this procedure, inspect the harness connectors involved in this circuit. Poor connections are often the cause of problems in an electrical circuit. Verify that all connections in the circuit are clean, secure, and in good condition. Check the wiring for pinch points or abrasions. If a wire issue is found with the Ethernet wiring, the wiring must be replaced not repaired. If a problem with a connection is found, correct the problem. Verify that the 5805 diagnostic code is active before performing this troubleshooting procedure.

  1. Identify the active FMI code associated with the Datalink fault.

  2. Use the list below to determine which procedure to follow.

  • FMI 2 diagnostic code, proceed to "FMI 2".

  • FMI 9 diagnostic code, proceed to "FMI 9".
