The quick test makes it possible to check all control units with self-diagnosis capabilities installed in the vehicle for stored defect codes.

The ignition must be switched on before starting the quick test (ignition switch in position 2!).

When a defect code is stored in the defect code memory of a control unit, the line is displayed inversely (white highlighted) and marked with an "F".

On conclusion of the quick test, "quick test completed" is displayed on the last line.

It is possible to terminate a currently running quick test at any time by pressing any key.
