  2. Enter diagnostic mode and record trouble codes. Exit diagnostic mode. If no trouble codes were displayed, proceed to appropriate DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT CHECK  charts. Follow instructions given there.
  3. If no trouble codes were displayed after performing diagnostic circuit check, perform voltage and resistance checks. See appropriate ECU PIN VOLTAGE TEST  chart in this article.
  4. If trouble codes are displayed, perform tests to confirm cause of malfunction which set the corresponding trouble code.
  5. After any repairs are made, clear trouble codes and perform diagnostic circuit check. Normal system operation code should be displayed if repair solved cause of malfunction.
