The scan tool first attempts to communicate with the PCM. After establishing communication with the PCM, the scan tool then attempts to communicate with all other modules on the vehicle.
-
If an IDS session cannot be established with the vehicle, IDS may state "No communication can be established with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)."
-
Choose "NO" when the scan tool prompts whether or not to retry communication.
-
Enter a PCM part number, tear tag or calibration number to identify the vehicle and start a session. The PCM part number and 4-character tear tag number are printed on the PCM label. If the PCM part number or tear tag number cannot be found, double-click on the VIN in the upper LH corner of the PTS screen. The tear tag number is listed on the Detailed Vehicle Specification.
-
If the scan tool cannot communicate with the vehicle after manually entering the PCM part number, diagnose the PCM does not respond to the scan tool.
