Identifying the Vehicle
The Scanner typically identifies a vehicle using certain characters of the vehicle identification
number (VIN). The Scanner vehicle identification (ID) process prompts to you enter VIN
characters and answer questions about the vehicle to be tested.
For some vehicles, the Scanner may display two or more engine choices. Be sure to scroll to
confirm the number of engine choices. The engine number is stamped on the engine block or
cylinder head, however, the exact location varies and is often difficult to see on an installed
engine. For example, the number is often behind the water pump on V8 engines.
For 129 and 140 models, there may be multiple engine selections that are seen by scrolling after
selecting the year. Typically, multiple engine choices apply to other markets and only one engine
is used on North American vehicles for any given year.
Table 3-1 provides some helpful tips for selecting the correct engine.
