Yeah I havent looked into the transfer case module too much yet, but yes pin 10 darkBlue wire should be battery voltage. Were you reading exactly 5 volts? But I dont see any transfer case control module with that part number but Im going to run through these modules real quick, there are like 7 listed for this vehicle, I want to make to make sure the dark blue wire youre testing is not just a 5 volt reference, but in the mean time Ill post the BCM diagrams for you to check that since it will take awhile,
Now X6 and X7 didnt have any relevant pins we needed to check, but I included them anyway so you would have them, but take your time and go connector by connector. Most of these are power inputs with a couple Reference Outputs, such as a 5vRef and a 12vRef.
When you get to X3 the fun begins, thats the connector which has 2 sets on High Speed GMLAN wires, I marked them both Green for Highspeed+ and Blue for Highspeed-
but as you can see in the 23rd diagram, where its labelled "HIGH SPEED" those sets of wires are a "voltage differential" signal, thats what a CANBUS network looks like on a scope.
With a bias 2.5volts in the middle.
I put the voltage readings you should get for each, Check each of those wires with one meter lead on ground and the other on the High+ and then the High- wires.
So the High Speed Bus+ should be a 2.5v to 3.5v, the High Speed Bus- should read 2.5v to 1.5v. Its 2 signals that basically mirror each other, thats the easiest way to explain it right now. They will be a twisted pair of wires and that is to help shield them from interference.
Now pin 10 of X3 is where the BCM acts as a Gateway to the GMLAN Low speed network, I colored that is Violet. It should be a 0v to 5v signal. The 24th diagram shows all the modules on the Low Speed network, they are the ones that have that Green wire you saw when checking the comb/splice under the drivers side dash.
So that leaves us with the Lite Blue Serial Data Comm Enable signal that you already checked, I dont see an exact voltage for that yet. Ive been looking but it took me forever to do all these diagrams But I dont think its supposed to battery voltage, but I might be wrong on that.
So you can at least get started on the BCM connectors, you'll need the key On, and I dont know if you have a battery maintainer to keep a charge on the battery while doing this testing. Its always good to have one on the battery to prevent low voltage issues while testing like this. Ill verify the Transfer case module voltage you read. And get back to you, as well as the Enable voltage. But I think that if the Enable was incorrect you wouldnt be able to pull any codes at all, that again Im not a 100percent sure on.
The scan tools can communicate on different networks through the DLC. You'll have to check all these plugged in of course, when checking the Powers and Grounds, if this is possible, have a lead to Battery Negative to verify the circuit is making it all the way back to the Battery.
Sorry for the long post. Keep me updated when you get a chance. But no rush I always have plenty to do.
