The diagnostic tool will automatically
start a check of the vehicle’s computer
to determine which type of communica-
tion protocol it is using. When the
diagnostic tool identifies the computer’s
communication protocol, a communica-
tion link is established. The protocol
type used by the vehicle’s computer is
shown on the LCD display.
A PROTOCOL is a set of rules and procedures for
regulating data transmission between computers, and
between testing equipment and computers. As of this
writing, five different types of protocols (ISO 9141,
Keyword 2000, J1850 PWM, J1850 VPW and CAN) are in
use by vehicle manufacturers. The diagnostic tool
automatically identifies the protocol type and establishes a
communication link with the vehicle’s computer.
If the Diagnostic Tool fails to link to
the vehicle’s computer, a “Communi-
cation Error” message shows on the
Diagnostic Tool’s display.
- Ensure your vehicle is OBD2
compliant. See VEHICLES
COVERED on page 5 for vehicle
compliance verification information.

- Turn the ignition OFF, wait 5 seconds, then back ON to reset
the computer.

nect the Diagnostic Tool.
