7.0 Confirm AMG Operation
AMG operation can be confirmed via the AMG Diagnostics Page and/or the AMG Status
Lights. The AMG Diagnostics page provides a detailed summary of AMG operation and is
accessible using an IEEE 802.11b/g enabled PC. The AMG Status Lights are located on the
side of the AMG base unit.
AMG Operation is best confirmed by viewing the AMG Diagnostics Page. In the case
where an IEEE 802.11b/g enabled PC is not available, AMG operation will have to be
confirmed by viewing AMG status lights, however, the status lights provide no information
on the Ignition Sensor connection to the AMG.
