Data Link Diagnostic Test

NOTE: Circuit No. 70 is the Light Blue/White wire connected to terminal No. 7 on DLC. Circuit No. 914 is the Tan/Orange wire connected to terminal No. 2 on DLC. Circuit No. 915 is the Pink/Light Blue wire connected to terminal No. 10 on DLC.

Connect New Generation Star (NGS) tester to Data Link Connector (DLC), if not already connected. Select vehicle to be tested from NGS tester menu.
Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Rotate dial on NGS tester to menu item DIAGNOSTIC DATA LINK and press trigger. A test will be performed on the BUS (circuits No. 914 and 915) network and the ISO 9141 network (circuit No. 70).
If NGS tester displays CKT 914 (+) = SYSTEM PASSED and CKT 915 (-) = SYSTEM PASSED, module communications network is okay. If NGS tester displays CKT 70 = SYSTEM PASSED, ISO 9141 communication link is operating properly. Repair communication concern by symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEX table to continue diagnosis.
If NGS tester does not display CKT 914 (+) = SYSTEM PASSED, CKT 915 (-) = SYSTEM PASSED and CKT 70 = SYSTEM PASSED, perform the following as applicable.
- If no response from NGS tester, perform TEST N: NO MODULE/NETWORK COMMUNICATION under SYSTEM TESTS.
- If NGS tester displays CKT 70, CKT 914 and/or CKT 915 = SOME ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, repair communication concern by symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEX table to continue diagnosis.
- If NGS tester displays CKT 70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, perform TEST F: RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE (RCM) DOES NOT RESPOND TO NGS TESTER under SYSTEM TESTS.
- If NGS tester displays CKT 914 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, perform TEST M: NO MODULE/NETWORK COMMUNICATION - BUS LINK under SYSTEM TESTS.
- If NGS tester displays CKT 915 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, perform TEST M: NO MODULE/NETWORK COMMUNICATION - BUS LINK under SYSTEM TESTS.
- If module in question is NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED, repair communication concern by symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEX table to continue diagnosis.
- If module in question is NO RESPONSE ON CKT 914 (BUS +), repair communication concern by symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEX table to continue diagnosis.
- If module in question is NO RESPONSE ON CKT 915 (BUS -), repair communication concern by symptom. See SYMPTOM INDEX table to continue diagnosis.
