Output Diagnostic Test Mode 
(DTM) (function 03) 
      Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) is used to 
check the function of actuators. Actuators are 
also called actors. These are components that 
the control module activates when it reacts to the 
signals sent by sensors.  
      "Function of actuators" includes all functions and 
properties of an actuator under operating 
conditions. This means, for example:  
     
-  An electrically operated hydraulic valves that 
opens and closes when activated by the control 
module. 
     
-  The relay of an electrical motor when activated 
by the control module. The motor switches on 
and carry outs the task. 
      Before initiating the output Diagnostic Test Mode 
(DTM), make sure there are no electrical 
malfunctions in the system you wish to test. This 
will enable you to recognize any mechanical 
problems. Perform a guided troubleshooting 
before starting output Diagnostic Test Mode 
(DTM)  page 01

      Are you sure there are no electrical malfunctions 
in the system? If you have made sure that there 
are no electrical malfunctions in the system, you
