NOTE: Perform the following procedure when problem was not found after performing testing procedure, when Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) cannot be verified using DTC CONFIRMATION TESTS, or when reported symptom does not recur.
  1. Clear DTCs. See appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. Inspect affected circuit ground connections by removing ground bolt or screw. Inspect all mating surfaces for rust, dirt or corrosion. Clean all mating surfaces as necessary. Reinstall bolt or screw.
