OBD II test for a complete diagnosis. Featuring the 1.77” color LCD, it enables users to read/clear DTCs, record and save data. The CReader 3001 is also very easy to use. With built-in help menus and code definitions, diagnosing and repairing that dreaded Check Engine Light is now easier than ever! Moreover, CReader 3001 also features the following bi-directional “special tests”:... - Page 7 User’s Manual LAUNCH 3001 *Note: Some 1994 and 1995 vehicles have 16-pin connectors but are not OBD2 compliant. Only those vehicles with a Vehicle Emissions Control Label stating “OBD 1I Certified” are OBD2 compliant.

User’s Manual 3001 LAUNCH 2. General Information 2.1 On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) I *Note: With the exception of some 1994 and 1995 vehicles, most vehicles from 1982 to 1995 are equipped with some type of first generation On-Board Diagnostics. Beginning in 1988, California’s Air Resources Board (CARB), and later the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) required vehicle manufacturers to include a self-diagnostic program in their on-board computers. - Page 9 User’s Manual LAUNCH 3001 components were not setting codes. Some emissions problems related to degraded components only occur when the vehicle is being driven under a load. The emission checks being conducted at the time were not performed under simulated driving conditions. As a result, a significant number of vehicles with degraded components were passing Emissions Tests.

Page 10: Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Dtcs)
User’s Manual 3001 LAUNCH 2.3 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) OBD 2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes are codes that are stored by the on-board computer diagnostic system in response to a problem found in the vehicle. These codes identify a particular problem area and are intended to provide you with a guide as to where a fault might be occurring within a vehicle. -
Page 11: Location Of The Data Link Connector (Dlc)
User’s Manual 3001 LAUNCH Figure 2-1 2.4 Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC) The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is typically a 16-pin connector where diagnostic code readers interface with the vehicle’s on-board computer. The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. -
Page 12: Obd 2 Terminology
User’s Manual LAUNCH 3001 For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray must be removed to access the connector. If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location. -

Additionally, some Monitors are supported by “spark ignition”... -
Page 15: Non-Continuous Monitors
User’s Manual 3001 LAUNCH 2. Fuel System Monitor This Monitor uses a Fuel System Correction program, called Fuel Trim, inside the on-board computer. Fuel Trim is a set of positive and negative values that represent adding or subtracting fuel from the engine. This program is used to correct for a lean (too much air/not enough fuel) or rich (too much fuel/not enough air) air-fuel mixture. - Page 16 User’s Manual LAUNCH 3001 generates a varying voltage of up to one volt, based on how much oxygen is in the exhaust gas, and sends the signal to the computer. The computer uses this signal to make corrections to the air/fuel mixture. If the exhaust gas has a large amount of oxygen (a lean air/fuel mixture), the oxygen sensor generates a “low”...

The Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor is a “Two-Trip” Monitor. If a fault is found on the first trip, the computer temporarily saves the fault in its memory as a Pending Code.
- Page 18 User’s Manual 3001 LAUNCH 5. EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) System Monitor The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system helps reduce the formation of Oxides of Nitrogen during combustion. Temperatures above 2500°F cause nitrogen and oxygen to combine and form Oxides of Nitrogen in the combustion chamber.
- Page 19 User’s Manual LAUNCH 3001 7. Secondary Air System Monitor When a cold engine is first started, it runs in open-loop mode. During open-loop operation, the engine usually runs rich. A vehicle running rich wastes fuel and creates increased emissions, such as carbon monoxide and some hydrocarbons.

The Pending DTC is saved in the computer’s memory for later retrieval.
