Getting Started
Thank you for choosing the MICROSCAN III scan tool. The
MICROSCAN III provides diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and
datastream information for electronic vehicle control systems.
MICROSCAN III can also graph live data parameters, record data,
clear DTCs from the electronic control module (ECM), and reset
the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
Please read through these instructions, and the safety information
that was included in your kit, carefully to get started using your
diagnostic tool.
To get the most out of your new MICROSCAN III
1.
Download the MICROSCAN III User Manual found online at:
http://diagnostics.snapon.com/usermanuals
Refer to the manual for more in-depth usage details.
2.
Download and install ShopStream™ Connect; the PC-based
software that expands the capabilities of your scan tool, and
allows you to view data saved on the scan tool on your PC.
ShopStream Connect is available at no cost to you from:
http://diagnostics.snapon.com/ssc (North America) or
http://diagnostics.snapon.com/uk (United Kingdom)
All tool operations are performed using the touch-sensitive screen.
The MICROSCAN III is designed for diagnosing OBD-II compliant
vehicles, and also has the ability to communicate with many older
OBD-I models. Optional data cable adapters and an auxiliary
power cable set are needed to connect the tool to earlier vehicles.
Contact your Snap-on representative for information on optional
equipment.
