HOw to test modules on KBUS using diagnostic tools

[Unclepip]

Further to my previous posts I have now isolated the individual KBUS wires from the shorting strip and have been able to identify the wire that was pulling down the bus.

I have 12 wires connected to the KBUS strip, which I assume means 12 modules?

Whilst some of the modules functions are obvious others are not. How can I get my diagnostic tool to attempt to communicate with each module (i) to prove it is working correctly and (ii) to identify which specific module is not responding (i.e the faulty one I have disconnected)?

I have skimmed the literature of the various test tools but are am not familiar enough to readily identify how I might test each of these modules.

Any help/guidance most welcome.

Thanks

Phil

INPA is tool you want to use.
with that tool, you can go into each module on the car and read it's status / errors.. if the module doesn't exist, it'll tell you it isn't communicating

SK 93 - thanks for your adviser I have now conclusively proven 7 modules using the INPA diagnostic tool. When the tool opens up and I select "body" there are 12 items - is this coincidental that I have 12 wires? Albeit that list includes PDC and Seat occupation recognition (US vehicles), so I am unsure if they are valid? Are all the KBUS modules in the "body" section?
A1 General module - OK
A2 Instrument cluster - OK
A3 Light switching centre - OK
A11 Air con/Heating - OK
A21 Drivers seat memory - OK
A33 Sunroof - OK
A836 Electronic imobiliser - OK

A12 Multiple Restraint systems (I assume this means seat belt tensioner & air bags etc)? - No response from control module. Note: Interestingly there has been a red light on the dash since the seat was replaced last year?
A169 Switch centre console - No Response from control module

Where do I find a definitive list of what modules there are the on the KBUS?

I am extremely grateful for you assistance to date and hope you can assist in crossing this final hurdle.

Thanks

Alpine Roadster, many thanks for that list - very help. Not wishing to chance my arm, any idea where I find anything that tells me where they are located?

Thanks again.
