. Safety Precautions And Warnings To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/ or the Scan Tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the following safety precautions, at a minimum, whenever working on a vehicle: 1. Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment. 2. Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards. 3. Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts. 4.
. General Information 2.1 On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) II The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics (called OBDI) was developed by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) and implemented in 1988 to monitor some of the emission control components on vehicles. As technology evolved and the desire to improve the On-Board Diagnostic system increased, a new generation of On-Board Diagnostic system was developed. This second generation of OnBoard Diagnostic regulations is called "OBD II".
2.2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes are codes that are stored by the on-board computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in the vehicle. These codes identify a particular problem area and are intended to provide you with a guide as to where a fault might be occurring within a vehicle. These codes provide information as to where the DTC originated and the operating conditions that caused it to set.
2.3 Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC) The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic Scan Tools interface with the vehicle's on-board computer. The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around the driver's side for most vehicles. If Data Link Connector is not located under dashboard, a label should be there telling location.
Continuous Monitors Some of the vehicle components or systems are continuously tested by the vehicle's OBD II system, while others are tested only under specific vehicle operating conditions. The continuously monitored components listed below are always ready: 1. Misfire 2. Fuel System 3. Comprehensive Components (CCM) Once the vehicle is running, the OBD II system is continuously checking the above components, monitoring key engine sensors, watching for engine misfire, and monitoring fuel demands.
The Following Monitors Are To Be Used For Compression (Diesel) Ignition Engines Only: 8. EGR System 9. NMHC Catalyst 10. NOx Aftertreatment 11. Boost Pressure System 12. Exhaust Gas Sensor 13. PM Filter 2.5 OBD II Monitor Readiness Status OBD II systems must indicate whether or not the vehicle's PCM monitor system has completed testing on each component. Components that have been tested will be reported as “Ready”, or “Complete”, meaning they have been tested by the OBD II system.
In order for the OBD monitor system to become ready, the vehicle should be driven under a variety of normal operating conditions. These operating conditions may include a mix of highway driving and stop and go, city type driving, and at least one overnight-off period. For specific information on getting your vehicle's OBD monitor system ready, please consult your vehicle Owner's Manual. 2.
OBD II Drive Cycle -- A specific mode of vehicle operation that provides conditions required to set all the Readiness Monitors applicable to the vehicle to the “Ready” condition. The purpose of completing an OBD II drive cycle is to force the vehicle to run its onboard diagnostics. Some form of a drive cycle needs to be performed after DTCs have been erased from the PCM's memory or after the battery has been disconnected.
Mode $02 – Displays Freeze Frame Data. Same data as in mode 1, but it was captured and stored when a malfunction occurred and a DTC was set. Some of the PIDs for Mode $01 are not implemented in this mode. Mode $03 – Displays the type of powertrain or emission related DTCs stored by a 5 digit code identifying the faults. There may be more than one response message if there are more trouble codes than will fit in the data bytes of the response message, or if there are more than one ECU computer responding.
Mode $06 – Non-Continuously Monitored Systems test results. There are typically a minimum value, a maximum value, and a current value for each non-continuous monitor. This data is optional, and it is defined by a given vehicle maker if it's used. Mode $07 – Request for DTCs (pending) from Continuously Monitored Systems after a single driving cycle has been performed to determine if repair has fixed a problem.

If the vehicle is OBD II compliant, the label will designate “OBD II Certified”. Additionally, Government regulations mandate that all OBD II compliant vehicles must have a “common” sixteen-pin Data Link Connector (DLC).
Operating Error If the Scan Tool freezes, an exception occurs or the vehicle's ECU (Engine Control Unit) is too slow to respond to requests. You need to do the following to reset the tool: 1. Reset the Scan Tool. 2. Turn the ignition off and wait for about 10 seconds. Turn the ignition back to on and continue the testing.

CAUTION - By clearing trouble codes you also clear the readiness status for the individual emission system readiness tests. In order to reset these monitors, the vehicle must be driven through a complete drive cycle with no trouble codes in memory. Times for reset vary depending on vehicle. Some of the latest vehicle models may support two types of I/M Readiness tests: 1. Since DTCs Cleared - indicates status of the monitors since the DTCs are erased. 2.
Figure 5.33 “OK” -- Indicates that a particular monitor being checked has completed its diagnostic testing. “INC” -- Indicates that a particular monitor being checked has not completed its diagnostic testing. “N/A” -- The monitor is not supported on the vehicle. The GREEN, YELLOW and RED LEDs provide a quick way to help you determine if a vehicle is ready for an Emissions Test. The LED and audio tone indications are interpreted as below: LED Interpretation: a.
• If the illumination of the YELLOW LED is being caused by monitors that have not completed their diagnostic testing, then the issue of the vehicle being ready for an Emissions Test depends on the emissions regulations and laws of your local area. NOTE: From the code retrieval procedure, determine the status of each Monitor. Take this information to an emissions professional to determine (based on your test results) if your vehicle is ready for an Emissions Test. c.

Ready Test This function can be used as a convenient readiness test tool by automotive technicians to determine if the tested vehicle is ready for an Emissions Test. By visual and audible indication, you will learn a vehicle’s monitors readiness. 6.
As post-repair diagnostic tool: This function can be used (after the vehicle has had any emission-related repairs) to confirm that the repair has been performed successfully. After repairs, some drive cycles are required to reset the monitoring systems. Drive cycles vary among vehicles and for each monitor in any particular vehicle.
