Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview: Overview

Diagnostics for this system require use of the Rotunda New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester 007-00500 or equivalent. The module controlling the system being diagnosed communicates with the Data Link Connector (DLC) located beneath the instrument panel.

- Use the NGS Tester 007-00500 or equivalent connected to the DLC to retrieve continuous Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and to execute self test diagnostics for the integrated air bag module as described.

- If self test is passed and no DTCs are retrieved, go to the Diagnosis by Symptom Index to continue diagnostics. Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures

- If DTCs are retrieved, go to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index Table to continue diagnostics. Diagnostic Trouble Code Priority Index

- If the integrated air bag module cannot be accessed by the NGS, go to Pinpoint Test B. B: Module Communication Error
