MODE 2 Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. From Mode 1, disconnect the special tool from the multiplex inspection connector for 5 to 10 seconds, and then reconnect it.
  2. The spotlight and ceiling light should come on for 2 seconds, go out, then blink twice, 0.2 seconds each time. The system is now in Mode 2.
  3. Operate the switches listed below: If the circuit is OK, the spotlight and ceiling light will blink once. If the circuit is faulty, the lights will not blink.

    Tip: Operate the switches most closely related to the problem you are diagnosing is a quick way of testing the circuits integrity.
