5.2.1 Health report (Quick Test)

This function varies from vehicle to vehicle. It enables you to quickly access all the electronic control units of the vehicle
and generate a detailed report about vehicle health.
On the test item selection screen, tap Health Report and turn on the ignition switch, the system will start scanning the
ECUs. Once the scanning process is complete, the following screen will appear:
The tested system with fault code appears in red and the system with OK displays in green (normally).
Note: Diagnostic Trouble Codes or Fault Codes can be used to identify which engine systems or components that are
malfunctioning. Never replace a part based only on the DTC definition. Retrieving and using DTCs for troubleshooting vehicle
operation is only one part of an overall diagnostic strategy. Follow testing procedures (in vehicle's service manual), instructions
and flowcharts to confirm the locations of the problem.
On-screen Buttons:
Enter: Tap to enter the diagnostic function selection screen.
(Search): Highlight certain diagnostic trouble code and tap it to retrieve it in the search engine.
Report: Tap to save the diagnostic result as a health report.
Note: Diagnostic report is classified into three categories: Pre-Repair report, Post-Repair report and Diagnostic Scan. No
matter which type you saved the report as, the report type will be appended as a tag on the upper right corner of the diagnostic
report for easier identification.
Tap to select the report type from the option list and input the required information, and then tap OK.
Note: To facilitate the comparison of the pre-repair and post-repair reports and get accurate test result, please make sure you
saved the right type of the diagnostic report.
To save the report as a common diagnostic report, select Diagnostic Scan.
