- The current status of each system is shown to the right.
- "OK" if control module communicates correctly.
- "MISSING" if control module is not on the bus.
- "ADDED" if the control module has not yet been added.
- "NOT EQUIPPED" indicates that the control module is not fitted to the vehicle.

WARNING: The visible red light is of laser class 1. Do not look directly into the optical fibre or the control module connector at a close distance. If there is less than 20 mm distance between the eye and the light source, the eye may be injured.

Checking the wiring harness

IMPORTANT: Move the wiring harness at several spots and in several directions to reveal intermittent breaks and short-circuits. Check switches, connectors and crimp connections for oxidation, retracted pins and pin clamping force.
