Diagnostic help

The output from the control module can be activated using the diagnostics tool.

The heater is provided with extra cabling and connector which is isolated from the ordinary cabling from the heater. This cabling and connector is not used but is connected to the control module, therefore always check that this cabling is undamaged before beginning fault tracing.

In the ordinary cabling between the heater and the 8-pin connector, there is an extra light green lead that is cut and is not used.
