3 OBD II Diagnostics

When more than one vehicle control module is detected by the scan tool,

you will be prompted to select the module with retrievable data. The Power

train Control Module [PCM] and Transmission Control Module [TCM] are

the most commonly scanned modules.

CAUTION: Don’t connect or disconnect the scan tool while the ignition is on

or the engine running.

1) Turn the ignition off.

2) Locate the vehicle’s 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC).

3) Plug the tool into the vehicle’s DLC.

4) Turn the ignition on. Engine can be off or running.

5) Use the SCROLL button to select OBD II/EOBD from the Main Screen

in the scan tool.

6) Press the ENTER/Exit button to wait for the Menu to display. The tool

will display OBDII protocols until it has detected the vehicle’s

communication protocol.

 If the scan tool fails to communicate with the vehicle’s ECU

(Engine Control Unit) more than three times, a “LINKING

ERROR!” message displays on the tool.

 Verify the ignition is ON;

 Check if the scan tool’s OBD II cable is securely connected to the

vehicle’s DLC;

 Verify that the vehicle is OBD II compliant;

 Turn the ignition off and wait for about 10 seconds. Turn the

ignition back on and repeat step 5.

 If the “LINKING ERROR” message continues to display, contact

your local distributor or customer service for assistance.

7) View a summary of system status (MIL status, DTC counts, Monitor

status) on screen. Wait a moment or press any key for Diagnostic

Menu to display.
