Trouble Diagnoses=NJEL0486The Timer Control Unit includes software to help during development testing, manufacturing and service. It
allows the technician to put it into Diagnostic Mode. In this mode, all switch inputs can be tested for continu-
ity.
When the timer control unit is in Diagnostic Mode, the control unit tests the component and indicate the result
by the hazard lamp flashing.
SEL496X
Checks
Once in Diagnostic Mode, the following inputs can be tested.

position from offHazard flash once Tail lamp signal
Key put in ignition from out Hazard flash once Key in detect signal
Door lock/unlock switch is pressed Hazard flash once Central door lock/unlock signal
*) Hazard may flash a second time because of Driver's door status signal change. The min. delay time between flash actions is 100
ms.
In case the system does not operate as described above, check the concerned circuit for open or short. After
completion, the Diagnostic Mode can be switched off by pressing the rear defogger switch or by turning the
