Output Diagnostic Test Mode (Function 03)
Output Diagnostic Test Mode (Scan Tool Function 03)
Output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) allows you to to check the function of the hydraulic system and the pump motor for incorrect connections or leaks (brake line connections to brake calipers and function of hydraulic valves).
Notes:
^ The vehicle must be raised until all wheels are free to turn. A second technician is required to rotate wheels.
^ The -C- button can be used to exit the test sequence at any time.
^ After depressing the brake pedal several times the vacuum in the brake servo will be exhausted. For this reason, more pressure must be applied to the brake pedal in order to attain the same braking effect.
^When the vacuum in the brake servo is exhausted the wheels may not lock. Start the engine briefly to build up vacuum in the brake servo.
