  7. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL 
    1. Connect combination meter connector.
    2. Start engine running.
    3. Select "BCM" on CONSULT-II. With "HEAD LAMP" data monitor, make sure "ENGINE RUN" turns ON-OFF linked with operation of engine running or stop.
      1. Engine running: ENGINE RUN ON 
      2. Engine stop: ENGINE RUN OFF 
    4. Select "BCM" on CONSULT-II. With "HEAD LAMP" data monitor, make sure "PKB SW" turns ON-OFF linked with operation of parking brake switch.
