OTHER FEATURES
Note:
While in the cluster self test mode, the
engine ECU data link is disconnected.
Therefore, the gauges will not function until the
cluster is out of the self test mode. To interrupt
any test, cycle the ignition key off and on.

BULB TEST
Turns
ON
all telltale lights and red warning
LED's in the gauges which have them, for ten
seconds.
GAUGE TEST
This test causes the pointers in the tachometer,
speedometer, oil pressure, coolant temperature,
fuel and turbo boost gauges to move from
minimum scale to full scale and back, briefly
stopping at mid-scale each way. This occurs
three times. The air pressure and voltmeter
gauges are excluded from the test.
DISPLAY TEST
To help identify defects in the graphic display,
the display goes from dark to bright in about ten
seconds.
BUZZER TEST
Sounds each of the buzzer signals for ten
seconds each. The name of the buzzer is
written on the display as the test runs.
ECU Data
This feature requests information from the
available components. This information includes
the component’s SAE message identifier (MID),
its software ID (SW ID) and hardware ID (HW
ID) if available.
To access ECU Data:
1. When in DIAGNOSTIC MODE, highlight
ECU DATA using the arrow keys;
2. Press enter key;
3. Highlight the desired component;
4. Press enter key.
The MCD displays the information on two
screens. Toggle between screens using the
arrow keys.

ECU Status Test
This feature allows testing the response of
vehicle systems. This can be useful when
troubleshooting or checking the proper working
order of senders and other components.
In ECU Status Test mode, the MCD will monitor
the system and display the data on the screen.
Up to two components can be monitored at
once.
To perform a status test:
1. When in DIAGNOSTIC MODE, highlight
ECU STATUS TEST using the arrow keys;
2. Press enter key;
3. Using the arrow and enter keys, enter a MID
and PID (or PPID);
4. Press enter key;
The MCD now displays in real time the value of
the component. The example below shows how
changing the throttle position will be displayed on
the MCD. That way one can verify if any
identifiable sender unit is working properly or
whether the link is OK.
