Self diagnosis : Checks failure and code number (DTC)
|
| (2) |
Current data : Checks the system input/output data state
|
| (3) |
Actuation test : Checks the system operating condition
|
| (4) |
Additional function : Controls other features including system
option setting and zero point adjustment
|
|
| 2. |
Select the 'Car model' and the 'Telematics System' to be checked in order
