- Preset Button 2 = View/Clear continuous DTCs. NO DTCs is displayed if no DTCs are retrieved. If DTCS FOUND is displayed, press TUNE > to view the DTCs retrieved.

- NOTE: Always DOCUMENT, CLEAR and CARRY OUT the CDX6 On-Demand Self-Test again.

Preset Button 3 = SIGNAL TEST. This test measures the average strength at the current tuner setting.

3. To exit the ACM self-diagnostic mode, turn the ignition switch or the audio unit off.
