6.2 Input Verification
1. Open the Vehicle Configuration window in ITS
Explorer.
2. Using the Diagnostic Activity window, open the View
Inputs Sensing window and activate the left turn
signal followed by the right turn signal. Verify that
the vehicle equipment detects each input.
If both signals are being detected when only the left
or right signal is activated, it may be necessary to
connect the turn signal line to another point.
3. Activate the disable switch and verify that the vehicle
equipment detects this action. Also observe the
DISABLE indicator and the ON/OFF switch
indicator. Both indicators will be flashing green when
the disable switch is activated. See Table 6-1.
4. Verify that Disable mode activation is correct.
If Latching Disable mode is used, the vehicle control
unit stays in Disable mode after the disable switch is
returned to its normal state. Turning the vehicle
control unit off for a few seconds and then back on
removes the Disable mode.
If Non-Latching Disable mode is used, the vehicle
control unit removes the Disable mode as soon as
the disable switch is returned to its normal state.
