OBD2 DIAGNOSTICS

Additional Testing Utilities

LIVE DATA MODE

The tablet allows you view and/or record “real-time” Live Data for further vehicle analysis. This information includes

values (volts, rpm, temperature, speed, etc.) and system status information (open loop, closed loop, fuel system status,

etc.) generated by the various vehicle sensors, switches, and actuators.

The real time (Live Data) vehicle operating information (values/status) that the computer supplies to the tablet for each

sensor, actuator, switch, etc. is called Parameter Identication Data (PID).

Each PID (sensor, actuator switch, status, etc.) has a set of operating characteristics and features (parameters) that

serve to identify it. The tablet displays this information for each sensor, actuator, switch, or status that is supported by

the vehicle under test.

DANGER: If the vehicle must be driven to perform a troubleshooting procedure,

ALWAYS have a second person help you. One person should drive the vehicle while

the other person observes the tablet data. Trying to drive and operate the tablet at

the same time is dangerous and could cause a serious injury to you and bystanders.

available PIDs with reported values. Each PID

is unselected to offer customization on which

component you wish to select and explore

further. A total PID count is provided at the top

left of the screen.

NOTE: The View, Graph, and Unselect

buttons remain “disabled” until a PID is

selected from the list.

5. Select the PID(s) you wish to explore.

n A “checkmark” indicates the associated PID is selected for viewing.
