Section 5 Scanner Demo
This guide provides step-by-step instructions that allow you to get started using
your diagnostic tool, and become familiar with some of the common Scanner and
OBD-II functions.
Two built-in demonstration modes allow you to walk-through these functions
without connecting to a vehicle:
• Scanner Demonstration
• OBD-II/EOBD Demonstration
To become familiar with other capabilities of the Scanner function, watch our
product training videos at:

Do not connect the diagnostic tool to a vehicle when using the
demonstration modes.
Scanner Demonstration
The Scanner demonstration program allows you to navigate through many
functions of the Scanner, and displays vehicle data (PIDs) and trouble codes
(captured from actual vehicle) to simulate what you might see on an actual vehicle.
The following Scanner demonstrations are intended to be completed in sequence:
1 - Vehicle Identification
2 - Scan for Engine Codes and Save the Codes
3 - View, Configure and Save Engine Data (PIDs)
4 - Perform a Functional Test
5 - Perform a Code Scan
6 - View Saved Files (Codes, Code Scan and Data Files)
7 - Activate a Previously Identified Vehicle and View Engine Data (PIDs)
