How to start Apple Diagnostics using Terminal?

Hey everyone,


So I recently am having an issue with my keyboard where the E, D, and C keys do not work on the keyboard but all the other keys do. When I looked this up on the Apple website, it said to load up Apple Diagnostics by restarting the computer and holding the D key. Well sadly, the D key doesn't work so I am unable to do that. I would like to believe I can still load it up using Terminal or some other program that can let me access it. Is there a way to get your computer to load up Apple Diagnostics using terminal? If so, what would I put in? If not, is there some other way I can be able to get it to load upon startup besides holding the D key?


Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
