These are the test points exposing MechaCon's UART interface e.g. for CDVD Drive calibration using PMAP. These test points have also been used by Sony service centers using official service tools.

To put the console into service mode, the RMC/test mode test point needs to be grounded. This is necessary when recalibrating the drive and doing other stuff.

Depending on how you connect to the console, you might have to swap RX and TX with each other.

The publicly available service tools only support consoles up to the G-chassis (up to including SCPH-37000 and SCPH-39000 series).
PMAP additionally supports H and I chassis consoles (most SCPH-50000 series consoles).
