USING THE SCAN TOOL

CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE 
Retrieving and using Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) for troubleshooting vehicle operation is only one part of an overall diagnostic strategy. Never replace a part based only on the DTC definition. Each DTC has a set of testing procedures, instructions, and flow charts that must be followed to confirm the location of the problem. Always refer to the vehicle’s service manual for detailed testing instructions.

• Check your vehicle thoroughly before performing any test.
• ALWAYS observe safety precautions whenever working on a vehicle.

1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Locate the vehicle’s 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC). Some DLCs have a plastic cover that must be removed before connecting the Scan Tool. If the Scan Tool is ON, turn it OFF BEFORE connecting to the DLC.
3. Connect the Scan Tool to the vehicle’s DLC. The cable connector is keyed and will only fit one way.
   • If you have problems connecting the cable connector to the DLC, rotate the connector 180°. If you still have problems, check the DLC on the vehicle and the Scan Tool.
4. Turn the ignition on. DO NOT start the engine.
5. When the Scan Tool is properly connected to the vehicle’s DLC, the Scan Tool will automatically turn ON.
   • If the unit does not power on automatically, it may indicate there is no power present at the vehicle’s DLC connector. Check the fuse panel and replace any burned-out fuses.
   • If replacing the fuse(s) does not correct the problem, consult your vehicle’s repair manual to identify the proper computer (PCM) fuse/circuit, and perform any necessary repairs before proceeding.
6. The Scan Tool automatically starts a check of the vehicle’s computer to determine which type of communication protocol it is using. When the Scan Tool identifies the computer’s communication protocol, a communication link is established. A PROTOCOL is a set of rules and procedures for regulating data transmission between computers and between testing equipment and computers. As of this writing, five different types of protocols (ISO 9141, Keyword 2000, J1850 PWM, J1850 VPW, and CAN) are in use by vehicle manufacturers.
   • If the Scan Tool fails to link to the vehicle’s computer, a “Communication Error” message shows.
     • Ensure your vehicle is OBD2 compliant.
     • Verify the connection at the DLC, and verify the ignition is ON.
     • Turn the ignition OFF, wait 5 seconds, then back ON to reset the computer.
     • Press LINK to continue.
   • If the Scan Tool cannot link to the vehicle’s computer after three attempts, the message “Contact Technical Support” displays.
     • Press the SYSTEM MENU button to return to the System Menu.
     • Turn the ignition off, and disconnect the Scan Tool.
     • Contact Technical Support for assistance.

   • If the information shown is not correct for the vehicle under test, or if you wish to reselect the vehicle, select No, then press ENTER to return to the Select Make screen.
10. After approximately 10~60 seconds, the Scan Tool will retrieve and display any Diagnostic Trouble Codes, Monitor Status, and Freeze Frame Data retrieved from the vehicle’s computer memory.
    • The Scan Tool will display a code only if codes are present. If no codes are present, the message “No Powertrain DTCs or Freeze Frame Data presently stored in the vehicle’s computer” displays.
    • The Scan Tool is capable of retrieving and storing up to 32 codes in memory, for immediate or later viewing.
11. Refer to DISPLAY FUNCTIONS on page 3 for a description of display elements. In the case of long code definitions, or when viewing Freeze Frame Data, a small arrow is shown in the upper/lower right-hand corner of the Scan Tool display area to indicate the presence of additional information.  If a definition for the currently displayed code is not available, an advisory message shows.
12. Read and interpret Diagnostic Trouble Codes/system conditions using the display and the green, yellow, and red LEDs. The green, yellow, and red LEDs are used (with the LCD) as visual aids to make it easier to determine engine system conditions.
    • Green LED – Indicates that all engine systems are “OK” and operating normally. All monitors supported by the vehicle have run and performed their diagnostic testing, and no trouble codes are present. All Monitor icons will be solid.
    • Yellow LED – Indicates one of the following conditions:
      • A PENDING CODE IS PRESENT – If the yellow LED is illuminated, it may indicate a Pending code is present. Check the display for confirmation. A Pending code is confirmed by the presence of a numeric code and the word PENDING.
      • MONITOR NOT RUN STATUS – If the display shows a zero (indicating there are no DTCs present in the vehicle’s computer memory), but the yellow LED is illuminated, it may be an indication that some of the Monitors supported by the vehicle have not yet run and completed their diagnostic testing. Check the display for confirmation. All Monitor icons that are blinking have not yet run and completed their diagnostic testing; all Monitor solid icons have run and completed their diagnostic testing.
        • Red LED – Indicates there is a problem with one or more of the vehicle’s systems. The red LED is also used to show that DTC(s) are present. In this case, the Malfunction Indicator (Check Engine) lamp on the vehicle’s instrument panel will light steady.
        • DTCs that start with “P0”, “P2” and some “P3” are considered Generic (Universal). All Generic DTC definitions are the same on all OBD2-equipped vehicles. The Scan Tool automatically displays the code definitions (if available) for Generic DTCs.
        • DTCs that start with “P1” and some “P3” are Manufacturer codes and their code definitions vary with each vehicle manufacturer.
13. If more than one DTC was retrieved, and to view Freeze Frame Data, press and release DTC/FF, as necessary.
    • Each time DTC/FF is pressed and released, the Scan Tool will scroll and display the next DTC in sequence until all DTCs in its memory have been displayed.
    • Freeze Frame data (if available) will display after DTC #1. If more than one malfunction is present that causes more than one DTC to be set, only the code with the highest priority will contain Freeze Frame data. The code designated “01” on the Scan Tool display is referred to as the PRIORITY code, and Freeze Frame data always refers to this code. The priority code is also the one that has commanded the MIL.
14. When the last retrieved DTC has been displayed and DTC/FF is pressed, the Scan Tool returns to the “Priority” Code.
15. Determine engine system(s) condition by viewing the display for any retrieved Diagnostic Trouble Codes, code definitions, and Freeze Frame data, and interpreting the green, yellow, and red LEDs.
    • If DTCs were retrieved and you are going to perform the repairs yourself, proceed by consulting the Vehicle’s Service Repair Manual for testing instructions, testing procedures, and flow charts related to retrieved code(s).

The Scan Tool lets you view and/or record “real-time” Live Data. This information includes values (volts, rpm, temperature, speed, etc.) and system status information (open loop, closed loop, fuel system status, etc.) generated by the various vehicle sensors, switches, and actuators.
These are the same signal values generated by the sensors, actuators, switches, and/or vehicle system status information used by the vehicle’s computer when calculating and conducting system adjustments and corrections. The real-time (Live Data) vehicle operating information (values/status) that the computer supplies to the Scan Tool for each sensor, actuator, switch, etc. is called Parameter Identification (PID) Data. Each PID (sensor, actuator switch, status, etc.) has a set of operating characteristics and features (parameters) that serve to identify it. The Scan Tool displays this information for each sensor, actuator, switch, or status that is supported by the vehicle under test.

WARNING: If the vehicle must be driven to perform a troubleshooting procedure, ALWAYS have a second person help you. One person should drive the vehicle while the other person observes the Scan Tool data. Trying to drive and operate the Scan Tool at the same time is dangerous, and could cause a serious traffic accident.
