"Activate" Command Menu

"ACTIVATE" COMMAND MENU

When a system function is activated with the Scan Tool, the Motronic control module is made to do something that it would not otherwise do in the course of its normal operation. This may cause diagnostic trouble codes to be generated in other systems which are dependent on the Motronic system.

Activation of a system function should only be done with the ignition switch in the ON position and the gear lever in neutral. On activation with a gear Selected, the Scan Tool display should show "SHIFT TO NEUTRAL".

IMPORTANT:
^ The activate functions should always be used with discretion.
^ Always deactivate an activated function before proceeding further in the Scan Tool menu.
^ Always clear any trouble codes generated in the Motronic system, or in any other system, when you are through with fault diagnosis.
