- To retrieve continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and run self-test diagnostics, connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC) following manufacturer's instructions. DLC is located under instrument panel, near steering column.
- If self-test passes and no DTCs are retrieved, go to diagnostic symptoms table to continue diagnosis. See DIAGNOSTIC SYMPTOMS table. If DTCs are retrieved, go to diagnostic trouble code identification table to continue diagnosis. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) IDENTIFICATION table. If restraints control module cannot be accessed by scan tool, go to TEST Y: NO COMMUNICATION WITH RCM under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS .
