F4: Set Training Center Mode
After you select F4: Set Training Center Mode—for GM Training Centers only—a Set Training Center
Mode screen appears (Figure VIIA-8), giving you the ability to connect multiple Tech 2 scan tools for
instructional purposes.
F6: Set Communication By-Pass Mode
When you select F6: Set Communication By-Pass Mode, the upcoming screen (Figure VIIA-10) offers
Disable and Enable options. By enabling the by-pass mode, the Tech 2 bypasses error handling and
allows the user to view data display information without being connected to a vehicle. Highlight the desired
setting using the up or down arrow keys, then press [ENTER] to change the current mode. The Tech 2 will
default to the Disable mode after it has been powered off.
