Tests
The PRO-LINK
®
Edge provides a wide range of special tests. However, the avail-
ability of tests is dependent on both the vehicle to which the device is connected
and the module loaded (e.g., engine, transmission, etc.). The first time you select
the Tests tab during the current session, you are prompted to select a module. If
the selected module does not have any special tests associated with it, a informa-
tional message is displayed.
NOTE:
i
Not all software applications support tests. For example, Heavy Duty Stan-
dard (HDS) J1939, among others, does not support tests. If tests are not
available for a specific module, the module will not display in the list of
modules.
In addition, the screen associated with each test is unique to that test. Most special
tests include Info Text (e.g., detailed instructions on running that particular test,
quick steps for multiple routines, and test tips).
NOTE:
i
Look for Info Text icon in the upper-right corner of the test screen. If you
see the icon, Info text is available. Just touch the icon to display the
information.
Finally, Some tests require the vehicle to be in a particular state (e.g., Engine
Coolant Temperature greater than 140 °F). If this is the case for the test you
select, the PRO-LINK
®
Edge will provide specific prerequisites that must be met
before starting the test. Once you have met the prerequisites for the test, the
screen for that test is displayed.
