Using the Scan Tool
ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)
50 3140d
A visible icon indicates that the scan tool is linked to
(communicating with) the vehicle’s computer.
The upper right hand corner of the
display shows the number of the
code currently being displayed, the
total number of codes retrieved.
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
and related code definition are
shown in the lower section of the
LCD display.
If the definition for the currently
displayed code is not available, an
advisory message shows on the
scan tool’s LCD display.
I/M MONITOR STATUS icons are
not displayed when viewing ABS
DTCs.
In the case of long code definitions, a small arrow is shown in
the upper/lower right-hand corner of the code display area to
indicate the presence of additional information. Use the UP
and DOWN
buttons, as necessary, to view the additional
information.
The scan tool will display a code only
if codes are present in the vehicle’s
computer memory. If no codes are
present, a "No ABS DTC’s are
presently stored in the vehicle’s
computer" is displayed. Press the M
button to return to the Main Menu.
3. If more than one code was retrieved press the DTC/FF button, as
necessary, to display additional codes one at a time.
Whenever the Scroll function is used to view additional codes,
the scan tool’s communication link with the vehicle’s computer
disconnects. To re-establish communication, press the
POWER/LINK
button again.
4. When the last retrieved DTC has been displayed and the DTC/FF
button is pressed, the scan tool returns to the “Priority” Code.
To exit the enhanced mode, press the M button. The scan tool
returns to the Main Menu screen.
ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)
When the scan tool’s ERASE function is used to erase
DTCs from the vehicle's on-board computer, "Freeze
Frame" data and manufacturer-specific-enhanced data are
also erased. "Permanent" DTCs ARE NOT erased by the
ERASE function.
