CAUTION: Diagnosis by substitution from a donor vehicle is NOT acceptable. Substitution of control modules does not guarantee confirmation of a fault, and may also cause additional faults in the vehicle being tested and/or the donor vehicle
NOTE:
Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic routines involving pinpoint tests
1 Verify the customer concern
2 Visually inspect for obvious signs of damage and system integrity
3 If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before proceeding to the next step. Faults in supplemental restraint system harnesses would normally mean replacement of the relevant harness. supplemental restraint system harness repairs are not recommended
4 If the cause is not visually evident, check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and refer to the DTC Index
