If the vehicle is equipped with memory exterior mirrors and the concern remains after the inspection, connect the diagnostic tool to the data link connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel. Select the vehicle to be tested from the diagnostic tool menu. If the diagnostic tool does not communicate with the vehicle:
- check to make sure the program card is correctly installed.
- check the connections to the vehicle.
- check the ignition switch position.

5. Carry out the DATA LINK DIAGNOSTICS test. If the diagnostic tool responds with:
- CAN, UBP or ISO circuit fault; All ECUs NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to Information Bus (Module Communications Network).
- NO RESPONSE/NOT EQUIPPED for DSM, go to Body Control Systems (Multifunction Electronic Control Module).
- SYSTEM PASSED for the DSM, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out self-test diagnostics for the DSM.
