Toronado Models

Selection of the "DATA", "INPUTS", or "OUTPUTS" test types will result in the first available test being displayed. If the message, "EEEE" appears it means that test is not allowed with the engine running. Shut engine off and repeat sequence.

The last 4 characters of the display will contain a test code to identify the selection. The first 2 of these characters are letters which identify the system and the test type, while the last 2 characters numerically identify the test. When selecting a specific test there are 3 available actions to be taken:

Upon selecting an "OVERRIDE" test function, current operation will be represented as a percentage of its full range. This value will be displayed on the ECC panel. The display will alternate between "--" and the normal program value. This alternating display is a reminder that the function is not currently being overridden.

Pressing the "WARM" or "COOL" buttons on the ECC panel begins the override, at which time the display will no longer alternate. Pressing the "WARM" button increases the value while pressing the "COOL" button decreases the value. Normal program control can be resumed in 1 of 3 ways.

The override test type is unique in that any other test type within the selected system may be active at the same time. After selecting an override test, pressing the "OFF" button will allow selection of another test type (DATA, INPUTS or OUTPUTS). The ECC panel will continue to display the selected override. By selecting another test type and test, while at the same time pressing the "WARM" or "COOL" button, it is possible to monitor the effect of the override on different vehicle parameters.
