Review “Safety Messages” on page 5
before troubleshooting.

If scan tool will not power up, communicate with vehicle

• Clean the DLC pins.
• Disconnect and reconnect DLC making sure it is
connected correctly.
• Check vehicle battery to make sure at least 8.0 volts

• Contact customer service.
• With the engine off, check for blown fuses in the
