Symptom Tests: Notes

NOTE: Before beginning any testing, ensure battery is fully charged. Lubricate door lock latch and linkage system. Manually cycle door locks 10 times to ensure proper operation. Retrieve any existing Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Repair as necessary. See ON-DEMAND SELF-TEST in MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK article.
NOTE: Keep driver's window rolled down when performing symptom tests to avoid getting locked out of vehicle.
NOTE: A New Generation Star (NGS) tester is required for testing the power door lock system.
