32291L 1. Safety Precautions and Warnings To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the following safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle: 1. Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
Page 4: Diagnostic Trouble Codes (Dtcs)
32291L The OBD II system is designed to monitor emission control systems and key engine components by performing either continuous or periodic tests of specific components and vehicle conditions. When a problem is detected, the OBD II system turns on a warning lamp (MIL) on the vehicle instrument panel to alert the driver typically by the phrase of "...
Page 5: Location Of The Data Link Connector (Dlc)
32291L 2.3 Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC) The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic scan tools 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 6: Obd Ii Monitor Readiness Status
32291L monitored components listed below are always ready: 1. Misfire 2. Fuel System 3. Comprehensive Components (CCM) Once the vehicle is running, the OBD II system is continuously checking the above components, monitoring key engine sensors, watching for engine misfire, and monitoring fuel demands.
Page 7: Obd Ii Definitions
32291L they will be reported asœ" Ready " all of the time. If testing of a particular supported non-continuous monitor has not been completed, the monitor status will be reported as " Not Complete " or " Not Ready ".
