2 Check the connections to the vehicle.
3. Check the ignition switch position.
4. If NGS still does not communicate with the vehicle, refer to the New Generation STAR Tester Manual.
5. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTIC TEST. If NGS Tester responds with:
1 CKT914, CKT915 or CKT7O = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to Information Bus.
2 NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for the DDM, go to Pinpoint Test A. A: No Communication With the Driver Door Module
3 NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for the LCM, go to Pinpoint Test B. B: No Communication With the Lighting Control Module
4 SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the DDM and LCM.
6. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the DDM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index or LCM Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index to continue diagnostics. Lighting Control Module Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index
7. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
