*Notes: 

1. If you plan to take the vehicle to a Service Center for repair, DO NOT erase the codes 

from the vehicle’s computer. If data is erased, valuable information that might help 

the technician troubleshoot the problem will also be erased. 

2. Clearing DTCs does not fix the problem(s) that caused the code(s) to be set. If 

proper repairs to correct the problem that caused the code(s) to be set are not 

made, the code(s) will appear again and the check engine light will illuminate as 

soon as the problem that cause the DTC to set manifests itself.

D. Read Data Stream

This option retrieves and displays live data and parameters from the vehicle’s 

ECU.

In Fig. 5-6, tap “Read Data Stream”, the system will display data stream items.
