The No Communication test must be performed to verify power and ground to the suspect module before performing any of the pinpoint tests.

direction to enter a specific diagnostic routine. Performing any pinpoint test without direction may produce incorrect results and replacement of working
components. Correct test results are dependent on the proper operation of related components/systems. It may be necessary to correct any concerns in
these areas before passing the test.
Do not replace any parts unless the test results indicate they should be replaced.

Usage, retrieve/clear continuous DTCs. See: Scan Tool Testing and Procedures/New Generation Star (NGS) Tester Usage
