DIAGNOSTIC TOOLSET DESCRIPTION 15
PROGRAM CARDS AND CARTRIDGES
The Tester uses plug-in program card and cartridge modules which contain the software
programs for testing specific vehicles and systems. The modules are upgraded periodically
to include new vehicles, model years, and systems. Specific operating instructions are
provided for diagnostic test functions contained in the program card(s) or cartridge(s).
Two kinds of modules can be used with the Tester: program cards and Input/Output (I/O)
Cartridges.
PROGRAM CARDS
Multiple Program Cards may be required to provide the complete diagnostic testing
capabilities of the toolset. Program Cards are installed in the slot on the upper right side of
the Tester (below the display). The program card slot is keyed so that the card can only be
installed in the proper orientation.
I/O CARTRIDGES
I/O Cartridges such as the OBD-II Cartridge are used to expand the I/O (Input/Output)
capability of the Tester. I/O cartridges plug into the slot at the top rear of the Tester. The
OBD-II I/O Cartridge may be kept in the Tester when performing other functions.
