Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) (Function 03)




Output Diagnostic Test Mode (scan tool function 03)

NOTE:
- The output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) can be activated only with the 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.
- The output DTM will be interrupted after 10 minutes.

The following components are actuated in sequence:
1. Cylinder 1 fuel injector -N30-
2. Cylinder 2 fuel injector -N31-
3. Cylinder 3 fuel injector -N32-
4. Cylinder 4 fuel injector -N33-
5. Cylinder 5 fuel injector -N83-
6. Cylinder 6 fuel injector -N84-
7. EVAP canister purge regulator valve -N80-
8. Secondary AIR solenoid valve -N112-
9. Secondary AIR pump relay -J299-
10. Intake manifold tuning valve -N156- (change-over valve)
11. Camshaft adjustment 1 (Valves -1- and -2- for camshaft adjustment, -N205- and -N208-)
