9. Select Pause to suspend collecting data from the scanner and use the Continue key to
resume collecting data.
10. Press the Back key to return to the previous menu.
5 Bi-directional Test Operation
NT510 allows you to use the scan tool temporarily activate or control a vehicle system or
component. With NT510, the check of electronic components such as switches, sensors, relays,
& actuators is made a simple task. It allows you to recalibrate, adapt or configure certain
components after making repairs or replacement. It gives you the ability to ‘flash’ a control unit
with new program data. Provided that a module can be re-coded, the device allows for the
coding and programing of a replacement control module or changing previously stored incorrect
coding as expensive factory tools do. In addition, it lets you recode the transponder in a
mechanical key or key fob. When a key for a modern vehicle is replaced, the new unit will often
turn the mechanical switch but fail to initialize the system or start the vehicle. If this occurs, it is
typically because the transponder inside the key has not been coded to that particular system.
5.1 Active Tests
Active Tests, also known as Actuator Tests, are bi-directional diagnostic tests on vehicle
systems and component. The tests let you to use the scanner temporarily activate or control a
vehicle system or component, and when you exit the test, the system/component returns to
normal operation.
Some tests display a command to the operator. For example, if “Press Brake Pedal” displays, the
operator has to press and hold the brake pedal and then continue. The sequence, number and
type of tests are dictated by the control module.
On some systems, the actuator tests cannot be restarted until the ignition key is switched off for
some time. Alternatively, briefly start and run the engine, shut down, turn the ignition to the run
position, then re-initiate the actuator tests.
IMPORTANT
The tests activate a component, but they do not check if the component is working correctly.
Make sure the components to be tested are in good condition and correctly mounted.
NOTE
Available tests depend on the control module under test and the vehicle itself.
To start a test:
1. Select Active Tests from Function Menu and press the ENTER key.

2. Select the test you would like to perform and press the ENTER key. Follow on-screen
instructions to make proper selections and operations to complete the tests.
