To prolong battery life, the Scan Tool automatically shuts “Off”
approximately three minutes after it is disconnected from the
vehicle. The DTCs retrieved, Monitor Status and Freeze Frame
data (if any) will remain in the Scan Tool’s memory, and may be
viewed at any time by turning the unit “On”. If the Scan Tool’s
batteries are removed, or if the Scan Tool is re-linked to a vehicle
to retrieve codes/data, any prior codes/data in its memory are
automatically cleared.
