3. Verify the cellular phone system has an activated service.
4. If the concern remains after the inspection, connect the New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester to the data link connector located beneath the instrument panel and select the vehicle to be tested from NGS tester menu. If NGS tester does not communicate with the vehicle:

6. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS. If the NGS tester responds with:
^ CKT914, CKT915 or CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to Module Communications Network (Information Bus).
^ NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for RESCU, go to Pinpoint Test A. Test A: No Communication With The RESCU
^ SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), clear the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the RESCU module.

7. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to RESCU diagnostic trouble code (DTC) Index. Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures
8. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to the Symptom Chart. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures
