Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM)



Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM)

NOTE:
- The output DTM can only be performed with the engine stopped and the ignition switched on.
- During actuator diagnosis, the individual actuators (with the exception of the injectors) are operated in turn for about one minute unless the next actuator is selected by pressing the -> button.
- The control elements can be checked acoustically or by way of touch.
- Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) is aborted if it is not switched further after one minute of activation time, the engine is started or an RPM signal is recognized.
- Before restarting the output DTM the engine must be started and the ignition switched off and on again.
