3. If inspection reveals an obvious concern that is readily serviced, correct the concern before continuing with Inspection and Verification.
4. If a concern remains after the inspection, use Rotunda New Generation Star (NGS) Tester 007-00500 connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC) to retrieve continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and to execute Self Test Diagnostics for the generic electronic module. If after performing data link diagnostic test, the NGS responds with generic electronic module no response/not equipped, go to Pinpoint Test A. A: No Communications With GEM Module
5. If self test is passed and no DTCs are retrieved, go to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics. Conventional Instrument Cluster
6. If DTCs are retrieved, go to the DTC Reference Chart to continue diagnostics. Conventional Instrument Cluster
7. If the generic electronic module can not be accessed by the NGS, go to Pinpoint Test A. A: No Communications With GEM Module
