Output Diagnostic Test Mode 
(DTM) (scan tool function 03) 
     
Note:  
     There are two different transmissions: 
     
Transmission with hydraulic controls -E17-, on 
which the transmission input speed sensor 
(inductive sensor) is secured to the underside 
of the valve body. 
     Transmission with hydraulic regulation -E18/2-, 
on which the transmission input speed sensor 
(camshaft position sensor) is secured behind 
the valve body at the transmission housing. 
     For information on which transmission is 
installed, refer to tables from the following Repair 
Manual:

Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) 
(scan tool function 03), transmissions 
with hydraulic regulation -E17-
 
     
Note:  
     
The Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) can 
only be performed when the ignition is switched 
off, the selector lever is in position "P", the 
engine is not running, and the vehicle is 
stationary. 
     DTM will be terminated when the engine is 
started. 
     The function of solenoid valves 1 -N88-, 2 -N89-
, 3 -N90- and the solenoids for the selector 
lever lock are checked acoustically during the 
DTM. Avoid noise in the surrounding area 
during the acoustic check, because the 
switching noise (clicking) of the actuators is 
very quiet. 
     The solenoid valves 4 -N91-, 5 -N92-, 6 -N93- 
and 7 -N94- are activated during the DTM. A 
direct functional check of these valves is not 
possible. But possible electrical faults which 
occur during the activation, will be recognized 
by the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) and stored 
in the DTC memory.

When performing the Output Diagnostic Test 
Mode (DTM), the individual actuators will be 
activated until the   button is pressed. 
     
Only one complete DTM is possible after 
switching the ignition on. To repeat DTM, the 
ignition must be switched off and on again.

Notes: 
   
It is not the kick-down switch -F8-, but the switch-off function for the air 
conditioner in transmission control module -J217- which is activated. If the kick-down switch is operated, the Transmission Control Module 
(TCM) grounds the output to air conditioner. This briefly switches off 
the air conditioner compressor. Can be disregarded here. The signal can be checked in measured value block 011   01
