Diagnostic Starting Point - SIR

Begin the system diagnosis with the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview). The Vehicle System Check will provide the following information:

* The identification of the control module(s) which commands the system
* The ability of the control module(s) to communicate through the serial data circuit
* The identification of any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and their status

The use of Vehicle System Check will identify the correct procedure for diagnosing the system and where the procedure is located.
