- Connect the ISAT scan tool.

- ISAT scan tool display should come on.

Does the display come On?

YES Continue with point 5.

NO Check fuse 23 and continue with point 2.

2 Checking +30 voltage supply at the data link connector.

- Connect the test lamp between the voltage supply pin and the data link connector and a definite grounding point.

M95 9
M96 (current) 16

The test lamp should come on if there is a +30 voltage supply.

Does the test lamp come on?

YES Continue with point 3.

NO Rectify the cables between the voltage supply and fuse 23.





3 Check the ground connection at the data link connector.

- Connect the test lamp between the voltage supply and the pin to ground at the data link connector.
