- 2. This test checks if communications can be established between the scan tool and the body control module (BCM). If the scan tool cannot communicate with the BCM, refer to Diagnostic System Check - Theft Deterrent .
- 3. This test checks for any opens in the serial data circuit between the powertrain control module (PCM) and the BCM. This also checks for any intermittent malfunctions associated with the serial data circuit.
