Inspection (with Multifunction Switch)

1. 1
   The body wire harness system can quickly check faulty parts using the vehicle scan tool (GDS). The GDS provides the following information.

   1. Self-test: Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) check and display
   2. Data list: Check the status of system inputs/outputs.
   3. Forced operation: Check the operating status of the system
   4. Additional Functions: Other controls such as system option and zero point adjustment.
2. 2
   Select the vehicle model and the system to check, then check the vehicle with the scan tool.
3. 3
   After selecting BCM, select the module to check.

   Select "BCM" and "Instrument Panel Module (IPM)" to check the instrument panel module (IPM).

4. 4
   Select the "I/O Monitor" menu to check the current status of the input/output data. The input/output data for the sensors related to the "Instrument Panel Module (IPM)" can be checked.
