Defect Currently Set

The response of the control unit to this statement can be in the affirmative, negative or conditionally affirmative or conditionally negative. In the case of a restricted reply to the question as to whether the defect code is currently set, the additional information STATEMENT NOT SURE SINCE TEST CONDITION IS NOT CURRENTLY FULFILLED appears. This means that the control unit cannot currently check the indicated defect code since, for example, the component is not active. However, the defect code was set or not set the last time the test condition was fulfilled.
