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, e.g. solenoid valves, 
relays and pump motors.  
     
Note:  
     
Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) only 
functions on vehicles containing control 
modules with no. 8D0 407 389 A/D/E. 
     For control modules with no. 4B0 907 389, 
output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) is not 
possible. 
     
Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) can and 
must only be selected once after the ignition 
is switched on.

       "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 
will be able to identify any mechanical 
malfunctions in the individual actuators if the 
results of the output DTM are not as specified 
here. Replace the relevant part.  
      With the Bosch 5.3 ABS/ESP the output 
Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) enables you to 
check the electrically actuated hydraulic valves 
and the pump motor in the hydraulic module. You 
can also check that the brake lines going to the 
four wheels are connected correctly.

Notes:  
     
The vehicle must be raised until all wheels are 
free to turn. Ask a colleague to help. The 
colleague will have to check the wheels to 
determine whether they turn freely. 
     You can stop the test sequence at any time by 
pressing the -C- button. 
     To avoid overloading the components being 
checked, they are actuated during the test 
sequence for a period of 60 (or 90) seconds. 
The actuator test will be terminated if the "  
button" is not pressed within this period. 
     
The ABS warning light and the red "brake 
system malfunction" symbol blink during the 
test. 
     Pressing the brake pedal repeatedly this 
relieves the vacuum in the brake booster. For 
this reason, the brake pedal must be pressed 
harder in order to achieve the same braking 
effect. Your work will be easier if you run the 
engine briefly. This will build up vacuum in the 
brake booster again.

       During the test, the individual test steps are 
shown in the second line of the VAG1551 scan 
tool display. The following abbreviations are 
used.  
      IV = Inlet valve  
      OV = Outlet valve  
      LF = Left Front  
      RF = Right Front  
      LR = Left Rear  
      RR = Right Rear  
      B+ = Battery Positive Voltage (B+) at valve  
      0V = 0 volts; No voltage at valve  
      Locked/free = Wheel condition; must be checked 
by second technician  
      Hydr-P = Hydraulic pump

ABS hydraulic pump -
V64-
    
Indicated on display:  
ABS hydraulic pump -V64- must start running. This is audible.  
    
When you put your foot on the brake pedal you can feel it vibrating. The 
brake pedal vibrates because the hydraulic pump generates pressure 
pulses in the brake lines. The pressure pulses generate oscillations. 
These are directed to the brake pedal and make it vibrate.  
The pressure pulses in the brake lines are not sufficient to lock the 
wheels.

an ABS/EDL system. This will give a better understanding of the 
various test steps in the output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM). 
shaded components are in action.Thin solid lines represent hydraulic lines or hoses that are not under 
pressure. Thick broken lines represent hydraulic lines or hoses working as 
suction lines. Thick solid lines represent hydraulic lines or hoses that are under

When you press the brake pedal, brake fluid pressure will be built up in all 
four calipers. All four wheels lock.  
Requirement for this: mechanical/hydraulic components of the brake 
system must be fully functional. This means that the master brake cylinder 
is able to build up pressure in all wheel cylinders and the hydraulic 
connections and lines are all sealed properly.
