Chapter 2 Introduction
The ETHOS™ (Figure 2-1) scan tool uses Vehicle Communication Software to provide
vehicle-specific diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and datastream information for various
vehicle control systems such as engine, transmission, antilock brake system (ABS) and more.
Your scan tool can also graph live data parameters, record data, clear diagnostic trouble
codes (DTCs) from the vehicle electronic control module (ECM) memory, and reset the
vehicle malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
Contact your sales representative for availability of software add-ons and upgrades.
