    • Enter self-diagnostics. See ENTERING SELF-DIAGNOSTICS.
    • Display trouble codes stored in memory. See DISPLAYING TROUBLE CODES.
    • Select ECM system for testing. See SYSTEM SELECTION under MANUAL OPERATION OF SERVICE MODE.
    • Select SNAPSHOT test type. See TEST TYPE SELECTION under MANUAL OPERATION OF SERVICE MODE.
