    1 ACM  Self-Test SELF TEST The ACM  carries out a self-test. At the end of the self-test, the display either indicates SELF PASS or scrolls through any DTCs present. Note that the self-test may not indicate all DTCs that are present. If DTCs are suspected, retrieve continuous and on-demand DTCs using the scan tool.
    2 View DTCs NO DTCS, or scrolls through DTCs The ACM  displays any DTCs that are present. To scroll through the DTCs, press the TUNE UP button. If no DTCs are present, the display reads NO DTCS.
    3 AM/FM Antenna Signal Strength SIGNAL ### The ACM  displays the AM/FM antenna signal strength. To run this test, the audio system should be in AM radio tuner mode before entering the ACM  self-diagnostic mode.
    4 Software Levels SOFT LEVELS The ACM  displays software levels for various components of the audio system. Knowing the software levels may not aid diagnostics. Press the TUNE UP button to scroll through the software levels. Do not use the tune rotary knob, as it will cause the ACM  to exit self-diagnostic mode.
