Output Test Mode

DESCRIPTION
The Output Test Mode (OTM) aids in servicing output actuators associated with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This mode allows the technician to energize and deenergize most of the system output actuators on command. When entering OTM, the outputs can be turned off and on without activating the fan control. The low and high speed fan control(s) may be turned on separately without energizing the other outputs.

As a safety precaution, Output Test Mode will default to its normal state after 10 minutes, after the vehicle is started or after cycling the key OFF then ON.

CAUTION: Safety must be observed when using Output Test Mode:
- When all outputs are on, the electric fuel pump is briefly energized, so make sure fuel system is intact and is not being serviced at this time.
- When low speed or high speed fan control(s) are turned ON, make sure fan blades are clear of any obstruction.
