You need to run the trap test and when it halts (meaning a failure) then
observe the halt address in the lights on the console display. Forget
about the stack pointer and all that stuff until you know where in the
diagnostic the failure is located.

THEN if it is relevant you can examine the registers and/or memory to
get more info. But you need to know what to look for first, and the
starting point is the halt address in the console lights.
