5.4.2 Screen Messages
Screen messages appear when additional input is needed before proceeding. There are three
types of on-screen messages, confirmations, warnings, and errors.
Confirmation Messages
Confirmation messages inform you when you are about to perform an action that cannot be
reversed or when an action has been initiated and your confirmation is needed to continue.
When a user-response is not required to continue, the message displays briefly before
automatically disappearing.
Warning Messages
Warning messages inform you when completing the selected action may result in an irreversible
change or loss of data.
Error Messages
Error messages inform you when a system or procedural error has occurred. Examples of
possible errors include a disconnected cable or a peripheral, such as a printer, is powered off.
5.4.3 Making Selections
The Scanner software is a menu driven program that presents a series of choices one at a time.
As you select from a menu, the next menu in the series displays. Each selection narrows the focus
and leads to the desired test. Use your fingertip or the stylus to make menu selections.
5.5 Operations
The Scanner allows you to establish a data link to the electronic control systems of the vehicle
being serviced in order to view live data parameters and perform tests. You can use selected
functional tests, get troubleshooting tips, and access vehicle-specific trouble codes for various
vehicle control systems such as engine, transmission, antilock brake system (ABS) and more.
The Scanner has two main functions:
1.
Scanner—provides access to Vehicle Communication Software functions such as reading
codes, viewing data, and performing functional tests.
2.
Fast-Track Troubleshooter—provides the diagnostic power of Fast-Track Troubleshooter, a
database of experience based information developed by master technicians.
After a system is selected and the Scanner establishes communication with the vehicle, a
Scanner Main menu, which lists available tests, displays.
