Self-Diagnostic System

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 - LS article. If NGS tester responds with CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70=ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, repair module communications concern. See MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - LS article. If NGS tester displays NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for Powertrain Control Module (PCM), perform TEST A: NO COMMUNICATION WITH POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE  under SYSTEM TESTS.

If NGS tester responds with SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record continuous DTCs. Erase continuous DTCs. Using NGS tester, perform PCM self-test. Perform appropriate test in accordance with DTC retrieved. See POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE DTC INDEX  table. Codes listed in this table are only for testing covered in this article. For complete DTC listing, see MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - LS article. If no DTCs are retrieved, repair by symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEX  table under SYSTEM TESTS.
