When a trigger is activated:
•
Data collection is briefly paused as the Scanner captures a recording of all
available PID data, and saves it as a data file.
•
An audible alarm is sounded
•
A message displays indicating a data file was saved.
•
Data collection continues.
•
The activated PID trigger is disarmed.
Note
- if a different PID trigger is
activated subsequently, an additional data file will be recorded.
•
A red cursor line is displayed on the graph (
) of the PID with the
activated trigger to indicate where the trigger occurred.
•
A green cursor line is displayed on all the other PID graphs to indicate their
relationship to where the trigger occurred.
•
A gray cursor line is displayed to indicate the point at which the data was
paused to save the data file.

7.7 Functional Tests and Reset
Procedures
Selecting the Functional Tests and Reset Procedures card (
) opens the
Tests main menu (
), which displays a list of bi-directional tests and
procedures related to troubleshooting the selected codes. Functional tests and
reset procedures allow you to manually control certain component operations (e.g.
turn fuel pump on/off) and reset certain control module values (e.g. reset fuel trim)
directly from the diagnostic tool to confirm the operation of components and
validate repairs.
Intelligent Diagnostics Functional Tests and Reset Procedures operation and
navigation is similar to the Functional Tests within the Scanner function. For
additional information see

Additional Functional Tests and Reset options may be displayed at the bottom of
the screen, depending on the vehicle. These options are not DTC related, but are
vehicle specific related, and may be useful in troubleshooting or validating repairs.
