Run the System 80 lamp (16) and solenoid (17) tests
Steps
- With the game booted, press the coin door's red diagnostic button; the credit display shows "00".
- Press the start button to skip past the audits to test 16, the lamp test.
- The game relay, tilt relay and coin lockout relay each pulse twice, then lamps light in order from L2 to L51 for about 30 seconds. Coils pre-driven from lamp outputs (often L12-L16 via Q13-Q17) also fire.
- Press the test button again for test 17: solenoids 1, 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9 (Q60, Q58, Q62, Q64, Q53, Q59) fire once each.
