Security level: 1.
Syntax
SE[LFTEST] dtcnum
Parameter
dtcnum The number TermDSM associates with a particular
DTC. The DTC command lists each DTC with its
assigned number. This list is also printed when you
make a mistake while typing in a DTC number.
CAUTION This subcommand aborts all sessions on the DTC under test. Data for
those sessions may be lost.
Description
After entering the Selftest subcommand, the following is printed on
the terminal:
Warning: This will rest all users on that DTC. (TDSM 44)
Do you want to continue (yes/no)?
If you answer no to this question, you will be returned to the
diagnostics prompt. If you answer yes, the following will be printed on
the terminal:
How many times do you want to repeat this operation?
You should then enter how many times you want to run the DTC
selftest. Enter a number between 1 and 65535. The following question
is then printed on the terminal:
Do you want to stop looping if an error is found (yes/no)?
If you answer yes, the series of selftests will stop if an error is
encountered. For example, you specified you want the selftest to run 10
times and an error is encountered in the third selftest. If you answered
yes to this last question, the remaining seven selftests will not be run.
If you answered no, all 10 selftests will be executed regardless of the
results of each test. The following is then printed on the terminal:
Each DTC self test can take several minutes. Enter a control-y
to stop the self test loop (the control-y will take effect when
the current self test finishes).
Anytime that you want to stop the diagnostic, press [CTRL]-Y. After the
current loop has executed, the diagnostics prompt will appear and you
may enter another subcommand.
