^ NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for FEM, go to Pinpoint Test A. Test A: No Communication With the Front Electronic Module
^ NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for REM, go to Pinpoint Test B. Test B: No Communication With the Rear Electronic Module
^ NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for DDM, go to Pinpoint Test C. Test C: No Communication With the Driver Door Module
^ NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for DATC module, refer to Heating and Air Conditioning.
^ SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), clear the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the FEM, REM, DDM, and DATC module.

7. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern,
go to the FEM DTC Index, FEM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index
