OK
Here's the long and short if it per my conversation with the " Senior" at the State Division Office this morning regarding annual fire recall testing in California;
The wording that may appear "...fire and 'OTHER' emergency conditions..." is per the 1996 through 98 code and has since been removed to avoid confusion (really?). The current wording (2004) simply says "... under emergency fire conditions" (or fire emergency). In a nutshell, the Senior states the test requires testing of all recalling devices, and removing 3 phase power to insure the FE input latches and the car remains on Phase 1 when power is restored. THATS IT. No battery lowering test, no EQ or seismic testing etc.
if I had an "That Was Easy" button, I'd've pressed it at least twice.
