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.
