1. Hookup New Generation Star Tester and perform vehicle selection. Refer to New Generation Star Tester Useage.
2. Perform Data Link Diagnostics Test to check the Multiplex Communication Network. If the Data Link Diagnostics Test passed and concern(s) still remains, then go to Step 3.
3. Retrieve continuous DTCs from selected module.
4. Record all continuous DTCs, then clear all DTCs from the selected module using the diagnostic procedure outlined under New Generation Star Tester Operation, Retrieve I Clear Continuous DTCs.

NOTE: The Self-Test program for an individual module may produce observable outputs.
