Scan Tool Does Not Power Up

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The data link connector (DLC) provides operating power for the scan tool at terminal 16 (battery positive voltage) and a power ground at terminal 4. The DLC provides the class 2 serial data signal at terminal 2 and a dedicated signal ground at terminal 5. The scan tool will power up with the ignition off.

TEST DESCRIPTION

Steps 1-4:




1. The C/LALDL fuse supplies power to the DLC terminal 16.
4. The DLC battery positive voltage and ground circuits are functioning properly. The malfunction must be due to the scan tool.
