Tracker 4WD L4-2.0L VIN C (1999)
Scan Tool Does Not Power Up
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The Data Link Connector (DLC) provides operating power for the scan tool at terminal 16 (battery positive voltage) and at terminal 4 (ground). The
DLC provides the class 2 serial data signals at terminals 2, 5, and 7. The scan tool will power up with the ignition off. Many modules, however, will
not communicate unless the DIM detects that the ignition is on and sends the appropriate power mode message. The DLC also provides a path at
terminal 8 to the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver for purpose of programming the remote keyless entry key fob.
TEST DESCRIPTION
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diagnostic table.
1. The DOME fuse supplies power to terminal 16 of the DLC.
4. The battery positive voltage and ground circuits of the DLC are functioning properly. The malfunction must be due to the scan tool.
