Description and Procedure

DESCRIPTION
The Output Test Mode (OTM) aids in servicing output actuators associated with the PCM. It allows the technician to energize and de-energize most of the system output actuators on command. When entering OTM, the outputs can be turned Off and On without controlling the cooling fans. The low and high speed cooling fans may be turned On separately without energizing the other outputs.
