    • Are any DTCs recorded?

    • Disconnect the IPC  connector.
    • Check for:
      • corrosion
      • damaged pins
      • pushed-out pins
    • Connect the IPC  connector and make sure it seats correctly.
    • Operate the system and determine if the concern is still present.
    • Is the concern still present?
