Preliminary Procedure: Electrical

Verify charging system, cooling system, fuel system, safety belt warning chime, turn signals, headlights and theft control are working properly. Inspect wiring harness for obvious signs of shorts, opens, bad connections or damage.

If all components are okay, connect NGS tester to DLC located below instrument panel. Using NGS tester, perform DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If NGS tester displays CKT 914, CKT 915 or CKT 70=ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, see MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article to diagnosis network concern. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for Generic Electronic Module (GEM), go to NO COMMUNICATION WITH GEM under SYMPTOM TESTS.

If NGS tester displays SYSTEM PASSED for GEM, retrieve and record continuous DTCs using NGS tester. Erase continuous DTCs. Perform GEM/CTM self-test diagnostics using NGS tester. If any GEM/CTM DTCs are retrieved, see GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE/CENTRAL TIMER MODULE (GEM/CTM) DTC DEFINITIONS table to continue diagnosis. If no DTCs are retrieved, perform appropriate test under SYMPTOM TESTS.
