- Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
- If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the data link connector (DLC).NOTE:
- The vehicle communication module (VCM) LED prove-out confirms power and ground from the data link connector (DLC) are provided to the VCM.
- 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.
- see No Power To The Scan Tool, to diagnose no communication with the scan tool. See COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - TROUBLESHOOTING .
- 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.
- see no response from the smart junction box (SJB), manual climate control module. See COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - TROUBLESHOOTING .
