Note. For a specific local control unit (LCU), either "PAST COMM DATA" or "PAST NO RESPONSE" may be displayed instead of the above results. The data record, causes this, so erase the records. (The display only shows the incident records, they are not malfunctions caused during the diagnosis. One possible cause is that an intermittent incident occurred.)
