Note for DTC P1624/18032:  
If this malfunction is detected by the Transmission Control Module (TCM), the MIL is switched on by the ECM. In this case, 
the ECM stores the malfunction "MIL Request Sign. active" (DTC P1624/18032). After repairing the malfunction, erase DTC 
memory of the ECM.

Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) 
(scan tool function 03)
 
     
Notes:  
     
The output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) can be 
activated only with ignition switched on and the 
engine not running. 
     The output DTM is interrupted if the engine is 
started, or if a rotary pulse from the ignition 
system is recognized. 
     When operating in the output DTM, the 
individual output signals are actuated until the 
program sequence is advanced by pressing the 
button. 
     
Output signals are checked by listening for the 
sound of the component being actuated, or 
feeling for mechanical evidence of actuation, 
such as clicking, vibration, etc. 
     Without letting the engine run, briefly switch the 
ignition off for approx. 20 seconds before 
repeating the output checks. 
     During the entire output DTM sequence, the 
electric fuel pump will run.
