- SCP or UBP circuit fault; all electronic control units no response/not equipped, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
- No response/not equipped for front electronic module (FEM), refer to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES .
- No response/not equipped for rear electronic module (REM), refer to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES .
- No response/not equipped for driver door module (DDM), refer to MULTIFUNCTION ELECTRONIC MODULES .
- System passed, select FEM, REM and DDM from the main menu, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the FEM, REM and DDM.
- If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the FRONT ELECTRONIC MODULE (FEM) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX , the REAR ELECTRONIC MODULE (REM) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX , or the DRIVER DOOR MODULE (DDM) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX TO CONTINUE DIAGNOSTICS.
