Inspection and Verification

1. Verify the customer concern.

2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage.
Visual Inspection Chart





3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.

4. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).

NOTE:Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
5. If the scan tool does not communicate with the VCM:

- Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.
- Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.
- See - Pinpoint Test 17: No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no power to the scan tool.

NOTE:The vehicle communication module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground from the DLC are provided to the VCM.
6. If the scan tool does not communicate with the vehicle:

- Verify the ignition key is in the ON position.
- Verify the scan tool operation with a known good vehicle.
- See - Pinpoint Test 1: The PCM Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool to diagnose no response from the PCM.

7. Carry out the network test.

- If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, see - Symptom Troubleshooting Chart.
- If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.

8. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the instrument cluster, ABS module, PCM, smart junction box (SJB) and restraints control module (RCM).

9. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, see Instrument Cluster, Smart Junction Box (SJB), or PCM DTC Charts. For all other DTCs, see -- Control Systems Hybrid - B, C, P And U Codes - DTC Chart.

10. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, see Pinpoint Test 4: The Turn Signal On Chime Is Inoperative.
