scroll through the data line by line.
The end of the list is reached when

used to increase or decrease the
Frame/Time index. Time 0.0 is the
trigger point, when the user pressed
ENTER
. A time interval with a minus

Some vehicles will wait 3 to 4 minutes after the driveability problem first
occurs before storing a trouble code in the vehicle’s on-board computer.
If you selected
Trigger On Codes when you made your recording, you
might not see any drastic change in data parameters before and after the
trigger point. In cases like this, it is better to manually trigger the start of
the recording when the driveability symptom is first observed.

This will return to the Custom Data List selection display screens. When done,
press

Field Service
Field Service is a special diagnostic mode to monitor fuel system operation and
read DTCs. Some GM service manuals may refer to this mode as the Field Ser-
vice Mode Check. This mode works on vehicles equipped with a 12-pin ALDL
connector with a wire present in Pin-B, Diagnostic or Test Enable. The scan tool
enters this mode by grounding Pin-B: shorting Pin-B to Pin -A (ground).
