Chapter 2 Introduction
This chapter introduces the basic features of the Diagnostic Tool, including the control buttons,
data ports, battery pack, and power sources. Your Diagnostic Tool is a specialized personal
automotive diagnostic solution that combines information with test instrumentation to help you
diagnose symptoms, codes, and complaints quickly and efficiently. There are basically two main
components to the VERUS
®
Diagnostic Tool:
• Diagnostic Tool—the central processor and system monitor with integral scope.
• Scan Module (Wireless) (wireless models) — wireless device for accessing vehicle data.
This manual describes the operation of these devices and how they work together to deliver
diagnostic solutions.
There are two versions of the VERUS Diagnostic Tool: (operation and function are similar for both)
Standard Version
On early-model VERUS Diagnostic Tools the Scanner is built (integrated) into the Diagnostic Tool.
During scanner testing, the data cable is connected directly from the Diagnostic Tool to the data
link connector on the vehicle.
Wireless Version
On later-model VERUS Diagnostic Tools the Scanner (referred to as a Scan Module) is a separate
unit that communicates wirelessly with the Diagnostic Tool. During scanner testing, the data cable
is connected directly from the Scan Module to the data link connector on the vehicle.
Earlier standard Diagnostic Tools can be converted to operate with the wireless Scan Module,
contact your sales representative for details.
