- Inspect to determine if one of the following mechanical or electrical concerns apply:
- If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel, and select the vehicle to be tested from the scan tool menu. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
- Check that the program card is correctly installed.
- Check the connection of the data link connector to the vehicle.
- Check that the ignition switch is in the RUN position.
- If the scan tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the scan tool manual.
- Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If scan tool responds with:
- CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
- NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for stability assist module, go to PINPOINT TEST A: NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE STABILITY ASSIST MODULE .
- SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the stability assist module.
- If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to STABILITY ASSIST MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX to continue diagnostics.
- If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, go to SYMPTOM CHART to continue diagnostics.
