Basic Operation
Scanner
Starting Scanner opens a menu list of vehicle manufacturers and
begins the process by identifying the vehicle being tested. After the
vehicle is identified, a vehicle system is selected and then a specific
test or function is selected to allow you to retrieve DTCs, view PID
data, perform diagnostic tests and view SureTrack™ information.
Scanner testing requires data cable connection to a vehicle DLC.
Depending on the vehicle, the supplied DA-4 data cable may be
used alone or may require optional adapters. Onscreen cable and
adapter connection instructions are provided during the Scanner
and OBD-II/EOBD vehicle identification process.
Scanner Demonstration Mode
Your diagnostic tool includes a demonstration mode that takes you
through a simulated vehicle identification process and allows you to
explore the capabilities of the Scanner function without actually
connecting to a vehicle.
IMPORTANT:
Do not connect the diagnostic tool to a vehicle while using
the Demonstration mode.
