The EBTCM contains sophisticated on-board diagnostics. The diagnostics identify the source of any system malfunction as specifically as possible. This diagnosis occurs whether the malfunction was intermittent or constant. The on-board diagnostics are accessed with a Diagnostic Computer Scan Tool.

The Diagnostic Computer Scan Tool performs the following functions:

    • Specific identification of the last diagnostic trouble code
    • Storage of specific data at the time of the malfunction
    • Monitoring of each input and output, enabling the following operations:
      • Malfunction confirmation
      • Repair verification
    • Manual control of the components
    • Automated functional tests
