Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM)
(scan tool function 03)


Notes:

The output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) can be
activated only with ignition switched on and the
engine not running.
The output DTM is interrupted if the engine is
started, or if a rotary pulse from the ignition
system is recognized.
When operating in the output DTM, the
individual output signals are actuated until the
program sequence is advanced by pressing the
button.

Output signals are checked by listening for the
sound of the component being actuated, or
feeling for mechanical evidence of actuation,
such as clicking, vibration, etc.
Without letting the engine run, briefly switch the
ignition off for approx. 20 seconds before
repeating the output checks.
During the entire output DTM sequence, the
electric fuel pump will run.

Basic Setting (scan tool function 04)


Notes:

The specified values for the "Basic Setting" and
"Read Measuring Value Block" functions are
described in the respective component test
descriptions.
Disconnecting the battery or the Engine Control
Module (ECM) harness connector will erase all
learned values and the readiness code.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory,
however, will not be erased. After reconnecting
the battery and/or the ECM, the engine may idle
unevenly and there may be some temporary
loss of driveablity. If so, let the engine run at
idle for a few minutes until the learning process
has been completed.
No learning will take place if a malfunction
affecting engine regulation is stored in DTC
memory (this does not include sporadic
malfunctions).
Basic settings are established with the engine
running.
In "Basic Setting" display groups 60 or 98, with
the engine stopped and the ignition switched
