STEP	CHECK	YES	NO
1.CHECK DTC. Check for DTC. Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)	Is U0284 displayed in «Present fault»-	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC U0284 LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER MODULE "A"	The circuit has returned to a normal condition at this time. Reproduce the failure, and then perform the diagnosis again. NOTE: In this case, temporary poor contact of connector, temporary open or short circuit of harness may be the cause.
2.CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.	Is any other DTC displayed for engine control system-	Check the appropriate DTC using the “List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”.

3.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER CONNECTOR. 1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF. 2) Disconnect the battery. 3) Disconnect the connectors from ECM and active grille shutter. 4) Measure the resistance between active grille shutter connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B63) No. 3 — Chassis ground:	Is the resistance 1 M- or more-	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC U0284 LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER MODULE "A"	Repair the short circuit to ground in harness between ECM and active grille shutter connector.
4.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER CONNECTOR. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and active grille shutter connector. Connector & terminal (B134) No. 55 — (B63) No. 3:	Is the resistance less than 10 --	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC U0284 LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER MODULE "A"	Repair the harness and connector. NOTE: In this case, repair the following item: • Open circuit of harness between ECM and active grille shutter connector • Poor contact of coupling connector
5.CHECK ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER POWER SUPPLY. 1) Connect the battery. 2) Measure the voltage between active grille shutter connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B63) No. 2 (+) — Chassis ground (−):	Is the voltage 9 V or more-	Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC U0284 LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER MODULE "A"	Repair the power supply circuit.
6.CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ACTIVE GRILLE SHUTTER CONNECTOR AND CHASSIS GROUND. Measure the resistance of harness between active grille shutter connector and chassis ground. Connector & terminal (B63) No. 4 — Chassis ground:	Is the resistance less than 10 --	Replace the active grille shutter.	Repair the harness and connector. NOTE: In this case, repair the following item: • Open circuit of harness between active grille shutter connector and chassis ground • Poor contact of coupling connector
