Output Diagnostic Test Mode






Output Diagnostic Test Mode

Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) can only be performed if the selector lever is in the "P" or "N," positions, the engine is not running and the vehicle is stationary.

Output DTM is terminated if the engine is started, the vehicle starts to move or if a switch is not made within about 60 seconds to the next actuator. It is also terminated if the selector lever is moved to a position other than the "P" or "N." positions
