System Diagnosis
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Pontiac Torrent and 2009 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
After incorrect system operation has been verified and that aftermarket devices, or intermittent conditions are not the cause, begin the system diagnosis with the Vehicle Diagnostic System Check. The Vehicle Diagnostic System Check will provide the following information:
- The identification of the control modules that control the Power Steering System.
- The ability of those control modules to communicate via the serial data circuit.
- The presence of any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in those control modules and there status.
The use of the Vehicle Diagnostic System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the malfunction and where the procedure is located. Refer to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle .
