  3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
  4. NOTE: Make sure there are 2 IA  keys inside the vehicle during the self-test or the Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module DTC B10D7:31 (PATS Key: No Signal) sets. Ignore this DTC if 2 keys are not present.
    NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
  5. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
  6. NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground from the DLC  are provided to the VCM  .

    If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM  :

    • check the VCM  connection to the vehicle.
    • check the scan tool connection to the VCM  .
    • refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK , No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no power to the scan tool.
  7. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
    • verify the ignition is in the ON mode.
      • The air bag warning indicator prove-out (other indicators may NOT prove ignition is ON) confirms ignition ON. If ignition does not turn ON, refer to STEERING COLUMN SWITCHES to diagnose no power in RUN.
    • verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.
    • refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK , to diagnose no response from the PCM.
  8. Carry out the network test.
    • If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK .
    • If the network test passes, proceed with module self-test diagnostics.
  9. NOTE: The ignition must be OFF to carry out the RFA  module self-test.

    Carry out the self-test diagnostics for the RFA  module and the PCM.

  10. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC CHARTS . For all other DTCs, refer to the DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHART .
