- CKT914, CKT915 OR CKT70 = ALL ECUS NO RESP/NOT EQUIP, refer to Section.
- NO RESP/NOT EQUIP for the instrument cluster, Go To Pinpoint Test A or for the generic electronic module (GEM), Go To Pinpoint Test W .
- SYSTEM PASSED, retrieve and record the continuous diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), erase the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the instrument cluster or the GEM.
7. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Instrument Cluster Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index or the GEM Diagnostic Trouble Code Index to continue diagnostics.
8. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, proceed to the Symptom Chart to continue diagnostics.
