6. To terminate a test at any time, use the emergency stop
button. To exit special tests normally, select the exit or
abort button.
Note: Exit or abort will both stop the current special test and take you
back to the start of Special Tests.
All features outside the special test are locked out until the
test is terminated to protect the vehicle and the person
running the special test. If a function outside the special test
is desired, terminate the test and proceed to the desired
function. Special tests are not available for all vehicles and
controllers. The air bag controller will rarely provide special
tests, as actuating the air bag would cause damage to the
steering wheel or cabin components. It would also be
necessary to replace air bag modules after running the test
and clean the interior. Special tests will be continuously
updated as more are added; in addition, tests which do not
function may be removed during updates as well. There may
be tests listed that do not function on the selected vehicle.
This is likely due to the fact that many vehicles have di󰀨erent
systems depending on sub-model types.
