4.6 Working with Data (PIDs)
The following sections describe common data functions.
Data functionality, availability, navigation and terminology is vehicle
manufacturer dependent, and will vary.
4.6.1 Data Menu
Home Screen: Scanner (Vehicle Identification) > (Vehicle System Menu) >
(Vehicle System Main Menu) > (Data)
To view Data, select Data and then make a sub-menu selection as applicable (if
available). Depending on the vehicle manufacturer, the “Data” and sub-menu
selection names will vary (e.g. Data, Data Menu, Data Only, Data Groups, Display
Data, etc.).
The Data menu (Figure 4-11), displays available PID lists.
Figure 4-11
There are 3 basic PID list types:
• All System Data - display all available PIDs for that system. As an example
from within an Engine system Data menu, the Engine Data option can be used
to display all Engine related PIDs.
• Related System Data - display a list of PIDs that are related to the primary
system (e.g. Misfire, EVAP, and Fuel Trim PID lists are related to the Engine
system).
• Custom Data - user defined list of PIDs see Custom Data Lists on page 29.
4.6.2 Custom Data Lists
Home Screen: Scanner (Vehicle Identification) > (Vehicle System Menu) >
(Vehicle System Main Menu) > (Data) > (Specific Data List - e.g. Engine)
Select the Custom Data List icon to create a custom PID list Figure 4-12)
(add or remove PIDs from the list). Minimizing the number of PIDs
displayed allows you to focus on specific data parameters and provides a
faster refresh rate.
Figure 4-12
Check the parameters to display (Figure 4-13) and then select the Accept icon.
The custom list displays (Figure 4-14).
