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:
2.General Introduction
2.1 On-Board Diagnostics(OBD)II
The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics(called
OBD I)was developed by the California Air Resources
Board (ARB) and implemented in 1988
to monitor
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 com-
ponents 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.

2.2 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 intend-
ed to provide you with a guide as to where a fault might
be occurring within a vehicle.
There are three types of DTCs:
some of the emission control components on vehicles.
As technology evolved and the desire to improve the
On-Board Diagnostic system increased, a new genera-
tion of On-Board Diagnostic system was developed.
This second generation of On-Board Diagnostic regula-
tions is called "OBDII".
The OBD II system is designed to monitor emission
control systems and key engine components by per-
forming 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 the phrase of "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 follow three pieces of such valuable information:
1) Whether the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)is
commanded ‘on’ or ‘off’;
2) Which, if any, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are
stored
3) Readiness Monitor status.
2
OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes consists of a five-digit
alphanumeric code. The first character, a letter, identi-
fies which control system sets the code. The other four
characters, all numbers, provide additional information
on where the DTC originated and the operating condi-
tions that caused it to set. Here below is an example to
illustrate the structure of the digits:
DTC Example
P 0 2 0 2
P--Systems: B=Body C= Chassis P=Powertrain U=-
Network
0--Code Type Generic(SAE): P0, P2, P34-P39; B0, B3;
C0, C3; U0, U3 Manufacturer Specific: P1, P30-P33;
B1, B2; C1, C2; U1, U2
2--Sub-systems: 1=Fuel and Air Metering 2=Fuel and
Air Metering 3=Ignition System or Engine Misfire
4=Auxiliary Emission Controls 5=Vehicle Speed Control
and Idle Controls 6=Computer Output Circuits
7=Transmission Controls 8=Transmission Controls
02--Identifying specific malfunction section of the
systems
1. Pending - When a fault condition is identified during a Drive
Cycle, but does not meet enough criteria to activate the MIL.
If the fault condition occurs during two consecutive Drive Cycles, it
will turn into a Stored DTC and the MIL will activate.
2.
Stored-A DTC is stored when a fault condition has occurred
that meets enough criteria to activate the MIL.
3.
Permanent-A stored DTC that can only be cleared by the
OBDII system,after repairs are made,and a set number of Driving
Cycles have been completed.

2.3 Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC)
The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Con-
nector) 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.
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 evalu-
ated 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 Moni-
tors(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 vehicles OBD
II system, while others are tested only under specific
4
vehicle operating conditions. The continuously moni-
tored 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 con-
tinuously 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 compo-
nents require the vehicle to be operated under specific
conditions before the monitor is ready. These monitors
are termed non-continuous monitors. For different
ignition type engines, the available monitors are differ-
ent too.
The following monitors are to be used for spark ignition
engines only:
1) EGR System 2) O2 Sensor 3) Catalyst
4) Evaporative System 5) O2 Sensor Heater 6) Secondary air
7) Heated Catalyst
The following monitors are to be used for compression
ignition engines only:
1) EGR System
2) NMHC Catalyst
3) NOx aftertreatment
4) Boost pressure system
5) Exhaust gas sensor
6) PM filter
5
2.5 OBD II Monitor Readiness Status
OBD II systems must indicate whether or not the vehi-
cle'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.
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 trou-
ble 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 vehicles OBD mon-
itor system ready, please consult your vehicle owner's
manual.

3.7 Vehicle Coverage
The Scan Tool is specially designed to work with all
OBD II compliant vehicles, including those equipped with
next-generation protocol- Control Area Network (CAN).
13
It is required by EPA that all 1996 and newer vehicles
(cars and light trucks) sold in the United States must be
OBD II compliant and this includes all Domestic. Asian
and European vehicles.
A small number of 1994 and 1995 model year gasoline
vehicles are OBD II compliant. To verify if a 1994 or
1995 vehicle is OBD II compliant, check the Vehicle
Emissions Control Information (VECI) Label which is
located under the hood or by the radiator of most vehi-
cles. 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).
For your vehicle to be OBD II compliant it must have a
16-pin DLC under the dash and the Vehicle Emission
Control Information Label must state that the vehicle is
OBD II compliant.

4.5 I/M Readiness
I/M Readiness function is used to check the operations
of the Emission System on OBD2 compliant vehicles. It
is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle
inspected for compliance to a state emissions program.
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 latest vehicle models may support two types of
I/M Readiness tests:
A. Since DTCs Cleared - indicates status of the moni-
tors since the DTCs are erased.
B. This Drive Cycle - indicates status of monitors since
the beginning of the current drive cycle.
An I/M Readiness Status result of "NO" does not nec-
essarily indicate that the vehicle being tested will fail
the state I/M inspection. For some states, one or more

4.8 O2 Sensor
OBD2 regulations set by SAE require that relevant
vehicles monitor and tests on the oxygen (O2) sensors
to identify problem related to fuel efficiency and vehicle
emissions. These tests are not on-demand tests and
they are done automatically when engine operating
conditions are within specified limits. These test results
are saved in the on-board computer’s memory.
The O2 Monitor Test function allows retrieval and view-
ing of O2 sensor monitor test results for the most
recently performed tests from the vehicle's on board
computer.
The O2 Monitor Test function is not supported by vehi-
cles which communicate using a controller area network
(CAN). For O2 Monitor Test results of CAN-equipped
vehicles, see chapter“On-Board Mon. Test”

The On-Board Monitor Test for non-CAN-equipped
vehicles retrieves and displays test results for emis-
sion-related power train components and systems that
are not continuously monitored. The On-Board Monitor
Test for CAN-equipped vehicles retrieves and displays
test results for emission-related power train compo-
nents and systems that are and are not continuously
monitored. Test and components IDs are determined by
the vehicle manufacturer.
In this test, there are typically a minimum value, a maxi-
mum value, and a current value for each monitor. By
comparing the current value with the minimum and
maximum value, the scan tool will determine if it is OK.
1.From Mode 6 menu, use the UP/DOWN scroll button
to select a test to view and press the OK button.
2.Wait a few seconds while the scan tool validates the
PID MAP.
