Fault Isolation Procedures

Component Code 15
Shift Lever Data Link

Fault Description Possible Causes

This code indicates the CEEMAT ECU did not receive an This code can be caused by any of the following conditions:
updated shift lever status signal from the electronic shift lever • Faulty J-1922 data link
via the J-1922 data link.
• No electrical power to shift lever
Required Tools • Faulty shift lever
• Faulty ECU
• Basic Hand Tools
• Digital Volt/Ohm Meter
• CEEMAT Troubleshooting Guide
