Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) (Function 03)




Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) (Function 03)


NOTE:
There are two different transmissions:
- Transmission with hydraulic controls -E17-, on which the transmission input speed sensor (inductive sensor) is secured to the underside of the valve body.
- Transmission with hydraulic regulation - E18/2-, on which the transmission input speed sensor (camshaft position sensor) is secured behind the valve body at the transmission housing.


Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) (Scan Tool Function 03), Transmissions With Hydraulic Regulation -E17-


NOTE:
- The Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) can only be performed when the ignition is switched off, the selector lever is in position "P", the engine is not running, and the vehicle is stationary.
- DTM will be terminated when the engine is started.
- The function of solenoid valves 1 -N88-, 2- N89-, 3 -N90- and the solenoids for the selector lever lock are checked acoustically during the DTM. Avoid noise in the surrounding area during the acoustic check, because the switching noise (clicking) of the actuators is very quiet.
- The solenoid valves 4 -N91-, 5 -N92-, 6 -N93- and 7 -N94- are activated during the DTM. A direct functional check of these valves is not possible. But possible electrical faults which occur during the activation, will be recognized by the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) and stored in the DTC memory.
- When performing the Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM), the individual actuators will be activated until the -> button is pressed.
- Only one complete DTM is possible after switching the ignition on. To repeat DTM, the ignition must be switched off and on again.
