If scan tool does not communicate with all modules, go to TEST B: SCAN TOOL DOES NOT COMMUNICATE WITH CLASS 2 DEVICE under SYSTEM TESTS.
- Select powertrain control module display DTCs function for each module. Record displayed DTCs. If scan tool displays any DTCs, go to next step. If scan tool does not display any DTCs, repair engine cooling system by symptom. See ELECTRONIC COOLING FANS - CARS article in ENGINES.
