- Checking for related Active or Inactive codes such as 33 and 34
- Performing the Electrical Pretest and battery Load Test
- Using PD Mode while wiggling the Vehicle and Transmission Harnesses
- Determining which FMI (1, 5, 6 or 12) has set
- Measuring Gear Motor circuit resistance at the 38-Way connector
- Load testing the vehicle power supply to the TECU and verifying the repair
