vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:

diagnostics for the GEM, central security module (early production) or the vehicle security module (late production).
7. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the generic electronic module (GEM) (early production) or the vehicle security module (late
production) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics. See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions
