Getting Started: Before you use Scan Tool on the vehicle, please ensure that mechanical problems such as low oil level, damaged hoses, wiring or electrical connections are fixed FIRST. They may cause a fault code to set. The following Areas need to be checked before starting any test: The levels of engine oil, power steering fluid, transmission fluid (if auto transmission), engine coolant and other fluids must be at proper level.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL): When the vehicle on board computer detects a problem in the emission related systems or components, its diagnostic program will assign a fault code (DTC) and store it in its memory. It also records a “Freeze Frame” of the conditions present when the fault was found and set the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) alight.
Vehicle Diagnostic When everything had been confirmed and checked as mentioned in Getting Started, the testing operation can be carried out. Locate the vehicle Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) and make sure that the ignition switch is in OFF position. 2. Connect the Scan Tool cable connector to the vehicle’s DLC.

1) READ DTCs The READ DTCs function allows the Scan Tool to read the DTCs from the vehicle’s control modules. DTCs are used to help determine the cause of a problem or problems in the vehicle. These codes cause the control module to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when emission-related or driveability fault occurs.
2) ERASE DTCs The ERASE DTCs function deletes DTCs and I/M Readiness data from vehicle’s control module(s). Perform this function with KOEO. Do not start the engine. The ERASE DTCs function may also erase View Freeze Data... results depending on vehicle. The ERASE DTCs function sets monitors to inc.

VIEW FREEZE FRAME When an emission-related fault occurs, certain vehicle conditions are recorded by the on-board computer. This information is referred to as freeze frame data. VIEW FREEZE FRAME is a snapshot of the operating conditions at the time of an emission-related fault. VIEW FREEZE FRAME can be overwritten by faults with a higher priority.

6) I/M Readiness The I/M Readiness (Inspection / Maintenance) function is used to view a snapshot of the operations for the emission system on OBD II vehicles. I/M Readiness is a very useful function. To guarantee no faults exist make sure all monitors are ok or n/a and no DTC’s exist. Refer to the vehicles service manual for the drive cycle operation.

7) VIEW VEHICLE INFORMATION The Vehicle Info function allows the Scan Tool to request the vehicle’s VIN number, calibration ID(s) which identifies software version in vehicle control module(s), and calibration verification numbers (CVN(s).) ✓ Vehicle Info function applies to model year 2000 and newer OBD II compliant vehicles.
LAST SCAN The scan tool has a record function to track the last testing information, such as the way of communication protocol and the vehicle model. It will begin to diagnose based on previous information when you use it at second time. It’s easy for you to operate with this function.

Select M.F (SELECT MANUFACTORY) Manufacturer controlled codes (non-uniform DTCs) Areas within each alpha manufacturer-controlled DTCs. These are fault codes that will not generally be used by a majority of the manufacturers due to basic system differences, implementation differences, or diagnostic strategy differences. Each vehicle manufacturer or supplier who designs and specifies diagnostic algorithms, software, and diagnostic trouble codes are strongly encouraged to remain consistent across their product line when assigning codes in the manufacturer controlled area.
