Self-Diagnostic System

NOTE: All diagnostic tests are written specifically for New Generation Star (NGS) tester.

Connect New Generation Star (NGS) tester to Data Link Connector (DLC). Using NGS tester, perform data link diagnostics test. See DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM in MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - WINDSTAR article. If NGS tester responds with CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70=ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, repair module communications concern. See MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - WINDSTAR article. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for Front Electronic Module (FEM), perform TEST A: NO COMMUNICATION WITH FRONT ELECTRONIC MODULE  under SYSTEM TESTS. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for Rear Electronic Module (REM), perform TEST B: NO COMMUNICATION WITH REAR ELECTRONIC MODULE  under SYSTEM TESTS.

If NGS tester responds with SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record continuous DTCs. Erase continuous DTCs. Using NGS tester, perform FEM and REM self-test. Perform appropriate test in accordance with DTC retrieved. See FRONT ELECTRONIC MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX  and/or REAR ELECTRONIC MODULE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX  table. Codes listed in these tables are only for testing covered in this article. For complete DTC listing, see MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - WINDSTAR article. If no DTCs are retrieved, repair by symptom.
