Scanner
The Scanner function allows your diagnostic tool to communicate
with the electronic control modules (ECMs) of a vehicle. This allows
you to perform tests, view diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), and
data parameters from various vehicle systems such as the engine,
transmission, antilock brake system (ABS) and more.
NOTE
Scanner functionality, feature availability, navigation and terminology is vehicle
manufacturer dependent, and will vary.
