Begin the system diagnosis with the diagnostic system check. Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information. The Diagnostic System Check will provide the following information:

    • The identification of the control modules which command the system
    • The ability of the control modules to communicate through the Class 2 serial data circuit
    • The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their status

The use of the Diagnostic System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located.
