Section 4
Scanner
This section describes the basic operation of the Scanner function.
The
Scanner
icon is located on the Home screen.
The Scanner function allows your diagnostic tool to communicate
with the control modules of the motorcycle being serviced. This
allows you to perform tests, view diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs),
and live data parameters from various vehicle systems such as the
engine, antilock brakes (ABS), body control module and more.
IMPORTANT
This manual is intended to be used for P1000 motorcycle scanner

4.1 Basic Operation
4.1.1 Scanner Overview
Scanner is a menu driven application that communicates with control modules to
access diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), parameter data (PIDs), functional tests, and
more. To navigate the application, use your fingertip or the control buttons to make
onscreen menu selections to access the desired data, test or function.
Screen messages appear when additional input is needed before proceeding. There
are three types of on-screen messages; confirmations, warnings, and errors.
•
Confirmation Messages
- Confirmation messages inform you when you are
about to perform an action that cannot be reversed or when an action has been
initiated and your confirmation is needed to continue. When a user-response is
not required to continue, the message displays briefly before automatically
disappearing.
•
Warning Messages
- Warning messages inform you when completing the
selected action may result in an irreversible change or loss of data.
•
Error Messages
- Error messages inform you when a system or procedural
error has occurred.
