The Home screen, which the diagnostic tool automatically opens to whenever power is supplied
to the unit, allows you to select which of the primary tool functions, or modules to use. Each
available module is represented by a button on the home screen. Tap a module button to load and
open that tool function. The table below gives brief descriptions of the button operations.
Select from the Home screen buttons to begin testing by tapping directly on the button. You can
also use the keypad and Y/a key to activate a module, a yellow border around the button indicates
it is highlighted, or in focus. Use the Directional arrows (e c b d) to highlight the desired module
and press Y/a to select it. A “please wait” message may display briefly, then automatically clear
once the module is loaded and ready for use.
