1. Checking if vehicle will enter diagnostics. If it will not, then there is an on-board diagnostic system fault that can be diagnosed by using the "SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK".

3. "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" MIL should be "ON" when vehicle is in diagnostic mode.
4. Checking if powertrain system is operational.
5. Checking for PCM codes set that should be diagnosed.
6. "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" MIL should be "OFF" with no codes set.
7. Checking if a known customer complaint is causing the problem.
8. If your complaint is not in the customer complaint list, perform the system check which you feel may apply to your situation.
