Before you begin any diagnostic procedures, always review the system Description and Operation. Reviewing the Description and Operation information will help you determine the correct symptom diagnostic procedure when a malfunction exists.

| • | The identification of any stored DTCs and their status |
The use of Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle may identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located.
