  1. 3. If the inspection reveals an obvious concern(s) that can be readily identified, repair as required.
  2. 4. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
    • check that the program card is correctly installed.
    • check the connections to the vehicle.
    • check the ignition switch position.
    • Verify that the battery voltage is between 10 and 16 volts. Refer to GENERATORS & REGULATORS .
  3. 5. If the diagnostic tool still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the diagnostic tool manual.
  4. 6. Carry out the diagnostic tool data link test. If the diagnostic tool responds with:
  5. 7. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, refer to the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index .
  6. 8. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to SYMPTOM CHART  to continue diagnosis.
