A Diagnostic Starting Point
Begin the system diagnosis with the A Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic
(OBD) System Check. The Powertrain OBD System Check will provide the following
information:
• | The identification of the control module(s) that command the system. |
• | The ability of the control module(s) to communicate through the
serial data circuit. |
• | The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs),
and DTC statuses. |
The use of the Powertrain OBD System Check will identify the correct
procedure, and the location of the procedure to properly diagnose the system.
