-
check that the program card is correctly installed.
-
check the connections to the vehicle.

check the ignition switch position.
4. If the diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the diagnostic tool manual.

-
SCP, UBP or ISO circuit fault; all electronic control units no response/not equipped, refer to Information Bus (Module Communications
Network).
-
No response/not equipped for vehicle security module, refer to Body Control Systems (Multifunction Electronic Control Module).
-
System passed, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test
diagnostics for the vehicle security module.
