1 No communication with the DICE.

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the Tech 2 cannot contact the DICE, it will not be able to check that the control modules connected to a bus are communicating correctly either. The fault is probably because the DICE is not supplied with current or the diagnostics cable is not connected to the DICE (pin 7 of the data link connector and pin 28 of the DICE). The following menu will appear on the Tech 2:

DICE (Dashboard ICE)

NO BUS SYSTEM CAN BE CONTACTED CAUSE No communication with DICE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE Check the selected car model Turn the ignition switch to ON Press < ENTER to try again If the trouble persists: See fault diagnosis fault symptom 'No bus system can be contacted' in 'Bus and Diagnostics communication' .

If < ENTER is selected, Tech 2 will again attempt to make contact with DICE. If < EXIT is selected, Tech 2 will attempt to make contact with the selected control module (as Airbag and ABS must be able to be contacted even when DICE is not present).
