Auto Scan

The Auto Scan does an automatic test of the ECU being tested and then displays
a summary of the test results. From the summary, you can access to the Function menu (Refer to 26) and view detailed test results, such as DTC descriptions and related repair information. To see the details, refer to Chapter 5 on page …

Diagnostic Trouble Codes

This is a shortcut that allows you to quickly access vehicle systems without
completing a Vehicle ID, so as to find out what repairs are needed. Also refer to
Chapter 6 for details on page…

Live Data

The Live Data function allows you to view the live (real time) PID data from the
vehicle’s computer module. For details, refer to Chapter 7 on page

Freeze Frame

The Freeze Fame function allows you view DataStream "Snapshots" that were
automatically recorded by the ECU when one or more DTCs occurred. By
viewing the actual data values from the time of a fault, you may be able to
determine what caused the fault. For details, refer to Chapter 8 on page.

Component Test

The Component Test function allows initiating a leak test for the vehicle’s EVAP
system. The scan tool itself does not perform the leak test, but commands the
vehicle’s on-board computer to start the test. Different vehicle manufacturers
might have different criteria and methods for stopping the test once it has been
started. Before starting the Component Test, refer to the vehicle service manual
for instructions to stop the test. For details, refer to Chapter 9 on page.

I/M Readiness

Refer to Chapter 10 on page… for detail.

O2 Mon. Test ( O2 Monitor Test)

OBD II regulations set by the SAE require that relevant vehicles monitor and test
the oxygen (O2) sensors to indentify problems related to fuel efficiency and
vehicle emissions. These tests are not on- demand tests and they are done
automatically when engine operating conditions are within specified limits. These
test results are saved in the on-boards computer’s memory.
