(f) Check that the system has switched to self-diagnostic mode by checking the wireless door lock buzzer output pattern.
(g) Check the diagnostic outputs when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly switch is held down.
The diagnostic outputs can be checked by the interior light and wireless door lock buzzer patterns.
