  3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
    NOTE:
    • Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.

  6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle: See COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK , . No response from the powertrain control module (PCM).
  7. Carry out the network test
    • If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, see COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK , .
    • If the network test passes, retrieve and record continuous memory diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
  8. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the RCM and OCS module.
  9. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INDEX - RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) , .
