Overview
The Scantool is a tool allowing access to the internal data of on-board systems. It connects to the
OBDII auto diagnostic plug (SAE J1962 standard) of the vehicle and scans the information stored in
memory or current data made available and accessible by one of the 5 standardized protocols.
- ISO 11519-4 (SAE J1850) at 41.6 Kbps PWM (FORD).
- ISO 11519-4 (SAE J1850) at 10.4 Kbps VPW (CHRYSLER- GM).
- ISO 9141-2 at 10.4 Kbps (European vehicles).
- ISO 14230-1.2 to 10.4 Kbps or Keyword 2000 (CAN equipped vehicles).
- CAN (Controller Area Network; Keyword 2000 layer) (system which will be applied
generally to European vehicles in the coming years).
Since the 1st January 2000, all petrol vehicles sold in Europe must compulsorily be equipped with
an on-board computer controlling engine and drivetrain operation and capable of communicating
its internal information to diagnostic devices according to at least one of the 4 protocols cited
earlier.
