the LED's will be checked - (red, green, amber and off). The code will check the
LCD display by writing a character to the display, checking for communications and
then reading the character back and comparing with the code. If an error occurs, the
code will halt the diagnostic test and blink the ERROR LED.
The keypad is also checked during DIAGNOSTIC TEST 1. Each key is tested to
see if it is stuck on. If a fault condition is detected, the test is halted and the screen
will display the first error key found with the following display:
(BUTTON NAME) KEY STUCK
DIAGNOSTIC TEST 1

START, FEED, TEST, STOP, EXIT, MODE, <YES, NO>, OR ENTER.
When the code has finished the above tests, the code will attempt to communicate
with the Control Board (TCB). If all tests are complete and no errors detected, then
the system will go to DIAGNOSTIC TEST 2 and display the TCB code version.
