Screen messages appear when additional input is needed before proceeding. There are
mainly three main types of on-screen messages: Confirmation, Warning, and Error.
8.3.2.1 Confirmation Messages
This type of messages usually displays as an “Information” screen, to inform the user
that a selected action cannot be reversed or when an action has been initiated and
confirmation is needed to continue.
When a user-response is not required to continue, the message displays briefly.
8.3.2.2 Warning Messages
This type of messages displays a warning that a selected action may result in an
irreversible change or loss of data. An example of this type of message is the “Erase
Codes” message.
8.3.2.3 Error Messages
Error messages display when a system or procedural error has occurred. Examples of
possible errors include a disconnection or communication interruption.
8.3.3 Making Selections
The Diagnostics application is a menu-driven program that presents a series of choices.
As a selection is made, the next menu in the series displays. Each selection narrows the
focus and leads to the desired test. Tap the screen to make menu selections.
8.4 Diagnostics Functions
The Diagnostics application enables a data link to the electronic control system of the
test vehicle for vehicle diagnosis or service. The application performs functional tests,
retrieves vehicle diagnostic information such as read codes and live data from various
vehicle control systems such as engine, transmission, and ABS.
There are two options available when accessing to the diagnostics functions:
⚫ Auto Scan — starts auto scanning for all the available systems on the test vehicle.
⚫ Control Units — displays a selection menu of all available control units on the test
vehicle.
After a section is made and the tablet establishes communication with the vehicle, the
corresponding function menu or selection menu displays.
