This tests the operation of the cover sensor, pincharm sensor and media sensor.
Perform the Sensors test as follows:
1 In service mode 1, press Sensors Test (Media Type Key).

5. - SENSORS TEST
This message only informs you that the test has started, and a message
will not appear if the test passes or fails.
If the test fails, to resolve the problem, try one of the following:
1 If the cover sensor fails, check that the frontĆpanel assembly is correctly
connected to the electronics module. Try replacing the frontĆpanel assembly.
2 If the Pincharm sensor fails, check that the sensor cable is correctly
connected to the electronics module. Try replacing the pincharm sensor.
3 If the Media sensor fails, check that the sensor cable is correctly
connected to the electronics module. Try replacing the overdrive assembly
(the media sensor is included as part of the overdrive assembly).
4 Replace the Electronics Module ' page 8Ć13.
Only replace one component at a time and perform the test
again before replacing another component. Using this procedure
you will be able to determine exactly which component failed.
