1. 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:
Always perform automotive testing in a safe
environment.
Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI
standards.
Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc.
away from all moving or hot engine parts.
Operate the vehicle in a well-ventilated work area:
Exhaust gases are poisonous.
Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never
leave the vehicle unattended while running tests.
Use extreme caution when working around the
ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires and spark
plugs. These components create hazardous voltages
when the engine is running.
Put the transmission in PARK (for automatic
transmission) or NEUTRAL (for manual transmission)
and make sure the parking brake is engaged.
Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for
gasoline/chemical/ electrical fires nearby.
Don’t connect or disconnect any test equipment
while the ignition is on or the engine is running.
Keep the scan tool dry, clean, free from oil/water or
grease. Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to
clean the outside of the scan tool, when necessary.

2. General Information
2.1 On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) II
The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics (OBD I) 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 On-Board Diagnostic regulations is called
"OBD II".
The OBD II system is designed to monitor emission
control systems and key engine components by
performing either continuous or periodic tests of specific
components and vehicle conditions. When a problem is
detected, the OBD II system turns on a warning lamp (MIL)
on the vehicle instrument panel to alert the driver typically
by “Check Engine” or “Service Engine Soon”.
The system will also store important information about the
detected malfunction so that a technician can accurately
find and fix the problem.
Here below three pieces of such valuable information:
1) Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is commanded as 'ON'
or 'OFF';
2) Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored;
3) Readiness Monitor status.
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
FX4000 Full System Scan Tool
provide you with a guide as to where a fault might be
occurring within a vehicle. OBD II Diagnostic Trouble
Codes consists of a five-digit alphanumeric code. The first
character, a letter, identifies which control system sets the
code. The other four characters, all numbers, provide
additional information on where the DTC originated and
the operating conditions that caused it to set. Here below
is an example to illustrate the structure of the digits:

2- Fuel & Air Metering (Injector circuit)
3- Ignition System of Misfire
4- Auxiliary Emission Controls
5- Vehicle Speed Control & Idle Control System

B- Body (Includes A/C & Air Bag)
C- Chassis (Includes ABS)
P- Powertrain (Engine & Transmission/Gearbox)
U- User Network (Wiring Bus/UART)
FX4000 Full System Scan Tool
2.3 Location of 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. For some Asian and
European vehicles, the DLC is located behind the ashtray
and the ashtray must be removed to access the connector.
If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service
manual for the location.
FX4000 Full System Scan Tool
2.4 OBD II Readiness Monitors
An important part of a vehicle’s OBD II system is the
Readiness Monitors, which are indicators used to find out
if all of the emissions components have been evaluated
by the OBD II system. They are running periodic tests on
specific systems and components to ensure that they are
performing within allowable limits.
Currently, there are eleven OBD II Readiness Monitors
(or I/M Monitors) defined by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). Not all monitors are supported
by all vehicles and the exact number of monitors in any
vehicle depends on the motor vehicle manufacturer’s
emissions control strategy.
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:
Misfire
Fuel System
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.
Non-Continuous Monitors -- Unlike the continuous
monitors, many emissions and engine system
components require the vehicle to be operated under
specific conditions before the monitor is ready.
FX4000 Full System Scan Tool
These monitors are termed non-continuous monitors.
For different ignition type engines, the available monitors
are different too.
The following monitors are to be used for spark ignition
engines only:
EGR System
O2 Sensors
Catalyst
Evaporative System
O2 Sensor Heater
Secondary air
Heated Catalyst
The following monitors are to be used for compression
ignition engines only:
EGR System
NMHC Catalyst
NOx after treatment
Boost pressure system
Exhaust gas sensor
PM filter
2.5 OBD II Monitor Readiness Status
OBD II systems must indicate whether or not the vehicle’s
PCM’s 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.
The purpose of recording readiness status is to allow
inspectors to determine if the vehicle’s OBD II system has
tested all the components and/or systems.
FX4000 Full System Scan Tool
The power-train control module (PCM) sets a monitor to
“Ready” or “Complete” after an appropriate drive cycle
has been performed. The drive cycle that enables a
monitor and sets readiness codes to “Ready” varies for
each individual monitor.
Once a monitor is set as “Ready” or “Complete”, it will
remain in this state. A number of factors, including erasing
of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) with a scan tool or a
disconnected battery, can result in Readiness Monitors
being set to “Not Ready”.
Since the three continuous monitors are constantly
evaluating, they will be reported as “Ready” all of the time.
If testing of a particular supported non-continuous monitor
has not been completed, the monitor status will be
reported as “Not Complete” or “Not Ready.”
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.
2.6 OBD II Definitions
Power-train Control Module (PCM) -- OBD II
terminology for the on-board computer that controls
engine and drive train.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) -- Malfunction
Indicator Light (Service Engine Soon, Check Engine) is a
term used for the light on the instrument panel. It is to
alert the driver and/or the repair technician that there is a
FX4000 Full System Scan Tool
problem with one or more of vehicle's systems and may
cause emissions to exceed federal standards. If the MIL
illuminates with a steady light, it indicates that a problem
has been detected and the vehicle should be serviced as
soon as possible. Under certain conditions, the
dashboard light will blink or flash. This indicates a severe
problem and flashing is intended to discourage vehicle
operation. The vehicle onboard diagnostic system cannot
turn the MIL off until necessary repairs are completed or
the condition no longer exists.
DTC -- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) that identifies
which section of the emission control system has
malfunctioned.
Enabling Criteria -- Also termed Enabling Conditions.
They are the vehicle-specific events or conditions that
must occur within the engine before the various monitors
will set, or run. Some monitors require the vehicle to
follow a prescribed “drive cycle” routine as part of the
enabling criteria. Drive cycles vary among vehicles and
for each monitor in any particular vehicle.
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. Running through a
vehicle’s complete drive cycle will “set” the readiness
monitors so that future faults can be detected. Drive
cycles vary depending on the vehicle and the monitor that
FX4000 Full System Scan Tool
needs to be reset. For vehicle specific drive cycle, consult
the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
Freeze Frame Data -- When an emissions related fault
occurs, the OBD II system not only sets a code but also
records a snapshot of the vehicle operating parameters to
help in identifying the problem. This set of values is
referred to as Freeze Frame Data and may include
important engine parameters such as engine RPM,
vehicle speed, air flow, engine load, fuel pressure, fuel
trim value, engine coolant temperature, ignition timing
advance, or closed loop status.
