The third step was to take the comb
out of the splice pack and jumper
each module line.
Every terminal on the SP205 was at
threshold except pin# H
Class 2 Level at Threshold
This was the voltage level
at all pins except pin# H.
SP205 Schematic Part II
Class 2 Level below Threshold
This was the voltage
level denoted at pin# H.
Summary
Terminal H was backed out of the
SP205 connector and
communication was restored on
this vehicle at a generic level.
