- Aug 17
- 1 min read
CUSTOMER CONCERN
The vehicle will not start, ignition power is present, and the scan tool cannot communicate with any control module.
CAUSE
Spread terminals in the data link connector prevented reliable contact with the scan-tool connector. DLC terminal 16 had battery voltage and terminals 4 and 5 had good grounds.
CORRECTION
Repair the spread data link connector terminals and verify the scan tool communicates with the vehicle modules and the vehicle starts normally.
