"Initiate" Command Menu





"INITIATE" COMMAND MENU

When a system function is initiated with the ISAT, the MOTRONIC control module is made to do something that it would not otherwise do in the course of its normal operation. This may cause diagnostic trouble codes to be generated in other systems which are dependent on the MOTRONIC system.

Initiation of a system function should only be done with the ignition switch in the DRIVE position and the engine idling. On activation with a gear selected, the ISAT display should show ENGINE IDLING.

IMPORTANT: The activate functions should always be used with discretion.
^ Always deactivate an activated function before proceeding further in the ISAT menu.
^ Always clear any fault codes generated in the MOTRONIC system, or in any other system, when you are through with fault diagnosis.
