  4. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step.
    5. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
  5. If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).
    6. 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 VCM:
    • Check the VCM connection to the vehicle.
    • Check the scan tool connection to the VCM.
    • Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TESTS article, No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no communication with the scan tool.
  7. 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.
    • Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TESTS article to diagnose no response from the PCM.
  8. Carry out the network test.
    • If the scan tool responds with no communication for one or more modules, refer to DIAGNOSTIC TESTS article.
    • If the network test passes, retrieve and record the continuous memory DTCs.
  9. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the PCM.
  10. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to DTC Index . For all other DTCs, refer to DIAGNOSTIC TESTS article.
