- Electrical
- Battery integrity, ignition switch, starter/relay, harness
- Add-on devices (back-up alarm)

- Transmission
- Shift linkage, Internal components

This Pinpoint Test is intended to diagnose only the following:

- Harness Circuits: SIG RTN, TR, TRR, TRL, TRD and TROD

- Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
