"Initiate" Command Menu

"INITIATE" 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.

Initiation should only be done with the engine running at idling speed. On activation with a gear selected, the Scan Tool display should show "ENGINE IDLING".

IMPORTANT:
^ The initiate 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.
^ The operating range of the various commands is wide and unlimited. Exercise care and vary the entered command only round the normal idling speed parameters.
