NOTE: Do not turn the ignition off when performing this diagnostic procedure. Do not clear the DTCs unless instructed by this diagnostic procedure.
  1. Turn ignition on, engine off. Does the scan tool turn on? If so, go to next step. If not, diagnose scan tool concern.
  2. Is the MIL on? If so, go to next step. If not, diagnose MIL circuit concern.
  3. Attempt to establish communication with the PCM. Does the scan tool communicate with the PCM? If so, go to next step. If not, diagnose scan tool concern.
  4. NOTE: Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC), engine performance, and transmission default actions can greatly affect the transmission performance. Ensure that these items are not the cause of a transmission concern.
  5. Use the scan tool CAPTURE INFO function to save or capture (store information) any DTC information. Are there any DTCs present? If so, see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS  . If not, see SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS  under TROUBLE SHOOTING.
