- Using scan tool, read body DTCs (fault messages). If any fault messages are displayed, go to SYSTEM ID TEST 1B . If no fault messages are displayed, see SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TEST DIRECTORY table for specific system diagnosis. When diagnosing a vehicle with many apparent failures, start at top of table and perform indicated tests. Failures may occur separately or in various combinations. After repairs, ensure specific failure or group of failures have been corrected.
