Scanner
4.32 Troubleshooter
®
Fast-Track
Troubleshooter is a database of experience-based information of
validated real-world repair strategies that have been compiled by top-notch
technicians. Troubleshooter simplifies the diagnosis process, as it contains
information on virtually all common diagnostic trouble code (DTC) problems and
driveability symptoms.
Selecting Troubleshooter from the Vehicle Systems Test/Function menu opens a
submenu of options (options may vary).
Code Tips—provides detailed information on setting conditions, testing, and
•
interpreting test results for specific codes.
Symptom Tips—provides diagnostic tests and procedures based on vehicle
•
operation.
Time Savers—provides supplemental information, such as firing order and #1
•
cylinder location, that may be needed to make a diagnosis.
Tests and Procedures—explains how to perform certain tests on the specific
•
test vehicle. Some tips provide specifications and installation information as
well.
Troubleshooter information is organized into a series of diagnostic tips that are
designed to quickly lead you to the root cause of a particular problem. The tips are
vehicle-specific, which means only tips that relate to the identified vehicle are
presented.
NOTE
Troubleshooter appears in a Scanner menu only if tips are available for the
system selected on the identified vehicle.
4.33 Demonstration Modes
Two training (demonstration) modes are provided to help you to become familiar
with Scanner functions:
Scanner Demonstration
•
OBD Training
•
These training modes allow you to navigate through normal Scanner and OBD-II
Direct operations and menus, without connecting to a vehicle. Sample data and test
results are provided to help you learn the menus and basic operations.
This section provides examples for the Scanner Demonstration only.
Do not connect the compact scan module to a vehicle while using the
demonstration program.
4.34 Scanner Demonstration (Introduction
to Intelligent Diagnostics)
The Scanner demonstration program allows you to navigate through many
functions of the Scanner, and displays vehicle data (PIDs) and trouble codes
(captured from an actual vehicle) to simulate what you might see on an actual
vehicle.

Demo Setup - Before you begin
Before starting these demos, connect the AC power supply to the diagnostic tool,
and connect the compact scan module (CSM) to the diagnostic tool using the USB
cable. This ensures the diagnostic tool battery does not discharge, and supplies
power to the CSM allowing it to pair with the diagnostic tool.
Do not connect the compact scan module to a vehicle while using the
demonstration program.
