B6 NGS TRANSMITTER TIC/DATA STORED TICS
-
Enter in NGS: RAP, FUNCTION TESTS, TRANSMITTER TIC/DATA in order to see which Transmitter Identification Codes (TICs) are stored
in the RAP module.
-
When TRANSMITTER TIC/DATA screen first comes up, different eight digit letter/number codes should appear next to the TIC 1: and TIC 2:
symbols on right. TIC 1 is stored TIC for Transmitter 1, and TIC 2 is stored TIC for Transmitter 2.
NOTE: Since receiver assembly can store up to 4 transmitter codes, there may be a third and fourth TIC programmed to system next to TIC 3 and TIC
4. These were extra transmitters programmed after vehicle was delivered.
Are there at least two transmitters stored and displayed next to TIC 1 and TIC 2?
Yes
GO to B7
No

B7 NGS TRANSMITTER TIC/DATA LAST TIC RECEIVED
-
Press NGS trigger button, and turn ignition OFF, in order to see that system is receiving TIC and DATA (which button is pressed) for specific
transmitter being pressed.
-
Press and release UNLOCK button many times for transmitter in question as soon as ignition is turned OFF. A transmission should be received 3-4
seconds after turning ignition OFF. (This time is needed for receiver to stabilize.) Transmission received contains TIC for transmitter being
operated and DATA for which button has been pressed.
-
Vehicles built before February 1995 may lose their string of diagnostic communication a few seconds after ignition is turned OFF or about 30
seconds after a received transmission if system is inactive. This is normal operation and it may be difficult to capture transmissions through
diagnostics. If vehicle has a keypad on door, pressing a button on keypad before turning ignition OFF will help continue diagnostic
communication. If string of communications ends with ignition OFF, turn ignition ON to reenter TRANSMITTER TIC/DATA menu, and then
restart Step B6
NOTE: Pressing CLEAR will clear last transmission received, but will not clear stored TICs in memory.
NOTE: It is normal for LAST TIC RECEIVED and LAST DATA RECEIVED to flash different information momentarily when button is pressed.
Information will lock in on correct values. Tester is catching computer updating its memory.
