HINT:
If the screen displays a communication error message after you have connected the cable of the hand held tester to the DLC3, turned the ignition switch on and operated the hand held tester, the problem may be in the vehicle or the tester.

- If communication is still impossible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem may be in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester operator's manual.
