    1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, but do not start the engine.

    2. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.

    3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM and other vehicle systems. If it doesn't, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting - Refer to: DLC Circuit Troubleshooting (2019 2020), or DLC Circuit Troubleshooting (2017 2018), or DLC Circuit Troubleshooting (2017 2018), or DLC Circuit Troubleshooting (2014 2015), or DLC Circuit Troubleshooting(Without CAN Gateway) (2016), or DLC Circuit Troubleshooting(With CAN Gateway) (2016)
