Mechanical
-

3. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the
instrument panel, and select the vehicle to be tested from the NGS menu. If the NGS does not communicate with the vehicle:

-
NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for lighting control module (LCM), go to Pinpoint Test E.

diagnostics for the LCM.
6. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the LCM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics.
7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.
