NON-CONTINUOUS TESTS

The Non-Contin (Non-Continuous) Tests obtains test results for emis-
sion-related powertrain components and systems that are not continuously
monitored. The Non-Contin Test function is useful after servicing or after eras-
ing the vehicle's memory. Test results do not necessarily indicate a faulty com-
ponent or system.
The scan tool asks the vehicle for any available non-continuous test IDs, and
then displays them in a list. The vehicle manufacturer is responsible for assign-
ing the test and component IDs.
Select Non-Contin Tests from the
OBDII Function List and press

The scan tool displays the test ID, sys-
tem or component (ID), test measure-
ment (MEAS), specification value
(SPEC) and status (STS).
Refer to the appropriate vehicle service manual for test IDs and definitions.
Test results requested by the scan tool may also include test limits. Only one
test limit is included in the response message and displayed on the screen. The
test limit could be either a minimum or a maximum test limit.
The Test Measurement and Specification values are hexadecimal numbers
(i.e., $1A, $FE, $11). The status is calculated by the scan tool using the mea-
surement and specification data. Status is either LOW, HIGH, or OK.

ON-BOARD SYSTEMS

This test allows the scan tool to control the operation of vehicle components,
tests or systems. Some manufacturers do not allow tools to control vehicle sys-
tems. A vehicle not supporting an on-board system is identified by a message
displayed when selected.
Refer to the appropriate vehicle service manual for on-board systems
instructions.
