The Tool will indicate Ready (ok), Not Ready (inc), or Not Applicable(n/a) for each I/M Monitor. The Tool supports the following I/M Monitors:MonitorsExpanded NameMisfire MonitorMisfire MonitorFuel System MonFuel System MonitorComp ComponentComprehensive Components MonitorCatalyst MonCatalyst MonitorHtd CatalystHeated Catalyst MonitorEvap System MonEvaporative System MonitorSec Air SystemSecondary Air System MonitorA/C Refrig MonAir Conditioning Refrigerant MonitorOxygen Sens MonOxygen Sensor MonitorOxygen Sens HtrOxygen Sensor Heater MonitorEGR/VVT Sys MonExhaust Gas Recirculation or Variable Valve Timing MonitorNMHC Cat MonNon-Methane Hydrocarbon CatalystNOX Treat MonNitrogen Oxide TreatmentBoost Pres MonBoost PressureExhst Gas SensrExhaust Gas SensorPM Filter MonParticulate Matter FilterThis is a complete list of I/M Monitors supported by the Tool. The numberof Monitors read by the Tool from your vehicle may vary. A diesel vehicle,for example, does not have an Oxygen Sensor Monitor. As a result,there will be no Oxygen Sensor Monitor status for a diesel vehicle.Two types of I/M Monitors tests are: Since DTCs Cleared - shows status of the monitors since theDTCs were last erased. This Drive Cycle - shows status of monitors since the startof the current drive cycle. Refer to the vehicle service manualfor more detailed information on emission-related monitorsand their status.99 Some vehicles do not support This Drive Cycle. If vehiclesupports both types of monitors the I/M Monitors Menudisplays.10

Drive Cycle MonitorThe Drive Cycle Monitor function is very similar to the I/M Monitorsthough the Drive Cycle Monitor is used to view REAL TIME operationsof the Emissions System on OBD II vehicles.99 Drive Cycle Monitor continuously updates as the vehiclereports operations of the Emission System.99 Refer to the vehicle service manual for how to perform a drivecycle on your specific vehicle.99 Drive Cycle Monitor will only show the monitors that are inc(incomplete). When all monitors are complete the Tool willdisplay a message.See I/M Monitors for more information.View Freeze DataDisplays a snapshot of operating conditions at the time the DiagnosticTrouble Code was created. See PID Definitions for more information.Vehicle InformationThe Vehicle Information function allows the Tool to request the vehicle’sVIN number, calibration ID(s) which identifies software version in vehiclecontrol module(s), calibration verification numbers (CVN(s)), and In-usePerformance Tracking (IPT).Vehicle Information function applies to model year 2000 and newerOBD II compliant vehicles.NOTICEThe Vehicle Information function is not supported by allvehicles. Also, not every vehicle supports every piece ofinformation (for example, CVN, IPT, VIN).System SetupSystem Setup allows: Display contrast to be changed Tool information to be viewed Display to be checked Operation of the keypad to be checked Memory of the Tool to be checked Language to be changed Units of measure to be changed Long PID Names to be enabled/disabled11

From the System Setup menu, use the UP or DOWNarrow keys until Long PID Names is highlighted, then pressENTER. Select ON or OFF as desired using the UP or DOWNarrow keys, then pressENTER to save or BACK tor e t u r n t o S y s t e m Setup.State OBD Check (Emissions)The State OBD Check function is used to display a basic status of thevehicle’s OBD system.The State OBD Check function has the following areas: MIL STATUS ON or OFF Number of Codes Found Number of Monitors OK Number of Monitors Inc Number of Monitors N/A99 State OBD Check should be done with the key on enginerunning (KOER) due to showing MIL status.99 The number of codes found are both Confirmed andPermanent codes. Pending codes are not included.99 The number of Monitors that are either OK, INC or NA areonly Since DTCs Cleared and not This Drive Cycle.99 Refer to Read Codes and I/M Monitors for more detailedinformation about the results.12

View DataThe View Data function allows real time viewing of the vehicle’scomputer module’s PID data. As the computer monitors the vehicle,information is simultaneously transmitted to the Tool.View Data allows the following items to be viewed on the Tool: Sensor data Operation of switches Operation of solenoids Operation of relaysView Data is shown as: Entire Data ListApart from the Read Codes, View Data is the most useful diagnosticfunction for isolating the cause of a vehicle operation problem.From the Diagnostic Menu:1.2.Select View Data. Use the UP or DOWN arrowkey until View Data ishighlighted. PressENTER.Observe while Tool validates PID MAP.Diagnostic Menu I/M MonitorsRead CodesErase CodesMIL Status State OBD CheckView DataValidating PIDs PIDX/YesPlease WaitPID MAP validation is the tool asking the vehicle which PIDs aresupported. See PID Definitions for a complete list of PIDs supportedby the tool.13

Multiple PIDs may be sent if vehicle is equipped with more than onecomputer module (for example a powertrain control module [PCM]and a transmission control module [TCM]. The Tool identifies themby their identification names (ID) assigned by manufacturer (i.e. 10or 1A). See PID Definitions for more information.If one or more control modules stop responding, the Tool displays amessage: If continuing , dashes will replace data in right hand column. If NO is selected, the Tool will attempt to re-establishcommunication with that module.Entire Data ListSelecting Entire Data List from the Select Data to View menu willshow all supported PID data for the vehicle being tested.The Select Data to View menu will show all supported PID data forthe vehicle being tested.From the Select Data to View menu:1.

O2 Monitor TestOBD II regulations require applicable vehicles monitor and test oxygen(O2) sensors to determine problems related to fuel and emissions. TheO2 Monitor Test allows retrieval of completed O2 sensors monitortest results.99 The O2 Monitor Test is not an on-demand test. O2 sensorsare not tested when selected via the menu. O2 sensors aretested when engine operating conditions are within specifiedlimits.99 If the vehicle communicates using a controller area network(CAN), O2 Monitor tests are not supported by the vehicle. Amessage is displayed. See Diagnostic Monitor Test to seeO2 monitor data.O2 sensors are located before (upstream) and after (downstream)catalyst(s). Sensors are named (xy) for their position to both cylinderbanks and catalysts. The O2 sensor for cylinder bank 1 has prefix 1y while O2sensor for cylinder bank 2 has prefix 2y. The O2 sensor upstream of catalyst (closest to engine) hassuffix x1 while O2 sensor downstream of catalyst has suffixx2. If vehicle contains more catalysts, O2 sensor downstreamof second catalyst has suffix x3 and O2 sensor downstreamof next catalyst has suffix x4. For example, O2S21 is upstream O2 sensor for cylinder bank2.Diagnostic Monitor TestThe Diagnostic Monitor Test function is useful after servicing or aftererasing a vehicle’s memory. Test results do not necessarily indicate afaulty component or system.Non-CAN vehicles Diagnostic Monitor Test receives test results foremission-related powertrain components and systems that are notcontinuously monitored.CAN vehicles Diagnostic Monitor Test receives test results foremission-related powertrain components and systems that are andare not continuously monitored.Vehicle manufacturer is responsible for assigning test and componentIDs.15

On Non-CAN vehicles the Tool displays: test data (test ID) maximum value (MAX) test measurements (MEAS) minimum value (MIN) status (STS) measurements and specification values are hexadecimalnumbers (i.e., 1A, FE, 11.) module (MOD)OROn CAN vehicles the Tool displays: Test performed. The test performed can be ## if test is notdefined. Refer to vehicle service manual for details. Measured values and units of measure (such as volts, amps,seconds). Status of monitor test data. Module ID where the monitor test data came from.On-Board SystemsThe On-Board Systems test allows the Tool to control operation ofvehicle components, tests, or systems.99 Some manufacturers do not allow tools to control vehiclesystems. A vehicle not supporting an on-board system isidentified by a message displayed when selected.99 Refer to the appropriate vehicle service manual for on-boardsystems instructions.99 After selecting On-Board Systems, a list of on-boardsystems and components available for testing are shown onthe display.16

AcronymsThe Acronyms function allows the user to view acronyms and abbreviations used by the Scan Tool.99 Acronyms function is accessed from the Diagnostic MenuComponent LocatorThe Component Locator provides a vehicle specific location of components found on the selected vehicle. The Component Locator function can be selected from theDiagnostic menu. Since Component Locator provides vehiclespecific component location, a previous vehicle must bestored in the Scan Tool.Updating Your Tool1.2.3.4.Install Scanning Suite.
