NO MODULE/NETWORK COMMUNICATION - NO POWER TO DIAGNOSTIC TOOL - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

PINPOINT TEST 8 NO MODULE/NETWORK COMMUNICATION - NO POWER TO THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 CHECK THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL CONNECTOR
  • Inspect the WDS or equivalent Tester pins for damage.
  • Are the pins OK? 
Yes GO to next step.
No REPAIR the WDS or equivalent Tester connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. CARRY OUT the data link diagnostics test.
2 CHECK THE DLC D-01 FOR DAMAGE

Yes GO to next step.
No REPAIR the DLC D-01. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. CARRY OUT the data link diagnostics test.
3 CHECK THE VOLTAGE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
  • Key ON.
  • Measure the voltage between the DLC D-01 pin 16, circuit (O/LG), harness side and ground.
  • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
Yes GO to next step.
No REPAIR the circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. CARRY OUT the data link diagnostics test.
