DIAGNOSTIC STARTING POINT - DATA COMMUNICATIONS

Begin the system diagnosis with Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle. The Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle will provide the following information:

-

The identification of the control modules which are not communicating.

-

The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their status.  See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic
Overview/Diagnostic Starting Point - Vehicle

The use of the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle will identify the correct procedures to begin vehicle diagnosis. These must be performed before
system DTC or symptom diagnosis.
