6.2.2 Select Communication Protocol
A communication protocol is a standardized way of data communication between an ECM and a
scan tool. Global OBD may use the following communication protocols:
• ISO 9141-2 (K-LINE)
• SAE J1850 PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
• SAE J1850 VPW (Variable Pulse Width)
• ISO 14230-4 (Keyword Protocol 2000)
• SAE J2284/ISO 15765-4 (CAN)
Touch Select Communication Protocol to open a menu of options (Figure 6-8).

When the All Protocols setting is used the Scanner attempts to establish communication using
each protocol on order to determine which one the vehicle is broadcasting on.
