Page 4: Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Dtcs)
2.2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) OBD II 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 5: Obd Ii Readiness Monitors
2.4 OBD II Readiness Monitors An important part of a vehicle’s OBDII system is the Readiness monitors, which are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions components have been evaluated by the OBD II system. They are running periodic tests on specific systems and components to ensure that they are performing within allowable limits. Currently, there are eleven OBD II Readiness Monitors (or I/M Monitors) defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Not all monitors are supported by all vehicles and the exact number of monitors in any vehicle depends on the motor vehicle manufacturer’s emissions control strategy.
Page 6: Obd Ii Terminology
after an appropriate drive cycle has been performed. The drive cycle that enables a monitor and sets readiness codes to “ready” varies for each individual monitor. Once a monitor is set as “Ready” or “Complete”, it will remain in this state. A number of factors, including erasing of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) with a scan tool or a disconnected battery, can result in Readiness Monitors being set to “not ready”.

been disconnected. Running through a vehicle’s complete drive cycle will “set” the readiness monitors so that future faults can be detected. Drive cycles vary depending on the vehicle and the monitor that needs to be reset. For vehicle specific drive cycle, consult the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual. 3. Product Information 3.1 Tool Description 1.
Page 8: Product Specifications
• No batteries needed – powered via attached OBD II cable. 3.4 Vehicle Coverage The OBD001 OBD II Scan Tool is specially designed to work with all OBD II compliant vehicles, including those equipped with the next-generation protocol- Control Area Network (CAN). It is required by EPA that All 1996 and newer vehicles (cars and light trucks) sold in the United States must be OBD II compliant and this includes all Domestic, Asian and European vehicles.
Page 9: Operating Instructions
4. Operating Instructions 4.1 Reading Codes CAUTION: Don’t connect or disconnect any test equipment with the ignition on or the engine running. 1. Turn the ignition off. 2. Locate the 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC) and plug into the Scan Tool cable connector to the DLC.
Page 10 DTC: 02 IM: YES 7. Select “DTC” from the main menu by pressing the ENTER button. MENU: 1.DTC • If there are no Diagnostic Trouble Codes retrieved, the display will indicate “NO CODES”. CODES • If there are any Diagnostic Trouble Codes, then the total number of the Fault Codes followed by that of the Pending Codes will be reported on the display.
Page 11: Erasing Codes
4.2 Erasing Codes CAUTION: Erasing the Diagnostic Trouble Codes allows the Scan Tool to delete not only the codes from the vehicle’s on-board computer, but also “Freeze Frame” data and manufacturer specific enhanced data. Further, the I/M Readiness Monitor Status for all vehicle Monitors is reset to Not Ready or Not Complete status.
Page 12: Retrieving I/M Readiness Status
4.3 Retrieving I/M Readiness Status IMPORTANT: I/M Readiness function is used to check the operations of the Emission System on OBD2 compliant vehicles. It is an excellent function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance to a state emissions program.
