OPERATION (cont.)
Diagnostic menu - OBD2 test
When more than one vehicle control module is detected by the scan tool, you will
be prompted to select the module where the data may be retrieved. The most
often to be selected are the Power train Control Module [PCM] and Transmission
Control Module [TCM].
WARNING!
Do not connect or disconnect scan tool with ignition on or
engine running.
1.
With the ignition off connect OBD2 16-pin connector (6) into the DLC.
2.
Turn the ignition on. The scan can be done
with engine off or engine running. When
the tool is powered on, it displays a home
screen (fig. 12).
3.
From the home screen, press the Scroll
button (7) to select the Diagnostic OBD/
EOBD interface and press Enter/Exit button
(5) to confirm.
4.
Wait for the menu to appear. A sequence of messages displaying the OBD2
protocols will be observed on the TFT colour screen (1).
Note:
If the scan tool fails to communicate with the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control
Unit) more than three times, a "LINKING ERROR!" message will show on the TFT
colour screen (1).
a) You will need to verify that the ignition is ON;
b) Check if the tool’s OBD2 16-pin connector (6) is securely connected to the
vehicle‘s DLC.
c) Verify that the vehicle is OBD2 compliant;
d) Turn the ignition off and wait for about 10 seconds. Turn the ignition back to on
and repeat the procedure from step 3.
If the “LINKING ERROR” message does not go away, then there might be
problems for the tool to communicate with the vehicle. Contact TB Imports
customer service department for assistance.
WARNING!
Operate vehicle in a well-ventilated area, exhaust gasses are
poisonous.
