Chapter 5 Scanner Operations
The Scanner allows you to establish a data link to the electronic control systems of the vehicle
being serviced to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) view live data parameters, and perform
tests. The Scanner can access the electronic control module (ECM) for various vehicle control
systems such as engine, transmission, antilock brake system (ABS) and more.
Scanner testing requires connecting the VERDICT Diagnostic Platform to the test vehicle using
the data cable and test adapters. On screen instructions tell you how to connect the Scanner,
additional connection information can be found in the appropriate vehicle communication software
manual for the test vehicle, which is available through the Help menu.
5.1 Getting Started
Prior to first use of the SCAN MODULE the unit must be synchronized with the VERDICT Display
Device to establish a wireless communication link. Refer to “Pairing the SCAN MODULE“ on
page 113 for details.
A demonstration program allows you to become familiar with Scanner operations and testing
without being connected to an actual vehicle.
5.1.1 The Demonstration Program
The SCAN MODULE demonstration program allows you to become familiar with many of the test
capabilities without connecting to a vehicle. Sample data and mock test results help you learn the
menus and basic operations.
The SCAN MODULE must be synchronized with the display device to use the demonstration
program. See “Pairing the SCAN MODULE“ on page 113 for details. Both the SCAN MODULE
and the display device must be powered on.
