Hey the cheat;

 To go into test mode;
"press and hold down the EDIT switch, then press and hold the #16
switch while pressing the #32"

Test #7 is Aftertouch.

The service manual is scant about Aftertouch in Yamaha stuff, even in
the early stuff that has aftertouch (GS1 and CS80 don't detail how the
sensor works, just give a part number)

The part for the Afteroutch sensors is "PC Sensor - VE197500" and it
has the additional designator "MK-LC" whatever the hell that means!
