1. Safety Precautions and Warnings To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the following safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:           Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment. Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards. Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. away from all moving or hot engine parts.

2. General Information 2.1 On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) II The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics (called OBD I) was developed by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) and implemented in 1988 to monitor some of the emission control components on vehicles. As technology evolved and the desire to improve the On-Board Diagnostic system increased, a new generation of On-Board Diagnostic system was developed. This second generation of On-Board Diagnostic regulations is called "OBD II".

the connector. If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle‟s service manual for the location. 2.4 OBD II Readiness Monitors An important part of a vehicle‟s OBD II system is the Readiness Monitors, which are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions components have been evaluated by the OBD II system. They are running periodic tests on specific systems and components to ensure that they are performing within allowable limits.

operated under specific conditions before the monitor is ready. These monitors are termed non-continuous monitors and are listed below: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) EGR System O2 Sensors Catalyst Evaporative System O2 Sensor Heater Secondary air Heated Catalyst A/C system 2.5 OBD II Monitor Readiness Status OBD II systems must indicate whether or not the vehicle‟s PCM‟s monitor system has completed testing on each component.

stop and go, city type driving, and at least one overnight-off period. For specific information on getting your vehicle‟s OBD monitor system ready, please consult your vehicle owner‟s manual. 2.6 OBD II Definitions Power-train Control Module (PCM) -- OBD II terminology for the on-board computer that controls engine and drive train. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) -- Malfunction Indicator Light (Service Engine Soon, Check Engine) is a term used for the light on the instrument panel.

faults can be detected. Drive cycles vary depending on the vehicle and the monitor that needs to be reset. For vehicle specific drive cycle, consult the vehicle‟s Owner‟s Manual. Freeze Frame Data -- When an emissions related fault occurs, the OBD II system not only sets a code but also records a snapshot of the vehicle operating parameters to help in identifying the problem.
PAGE 9
Mode $04 – Used to clear DTCs and Freeze Frame data. This clears all diagnostic trouble codes that may be set including freeze frame data and readiness monitors. Mode $05 – Oxygen Sensor Test Results. This mode displays the oxygen sensor monitor screen and the test results gathered about the oxygen sensor. There are ten numbers available for diagnostics: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. $01 Rich-to-Lean O2 sensor threshold voltage. $02 Lean-to-Rich O2 sensor threshold voltage.

Codes with Permanent Status. This mode is required for all emissions-related DTCs. The presence of permanent DTCs at an inspection without the MIL illuminated is an indication that a proper repair was not verified by the on-board monitoring system.

4) YELLOW LED – Indicates there is a possible problem. A “Pending” DTC is present and/or some of the vehicle‟s emission monitors have not run their diagnostic testing. 5) RED LED – Indicates there is a problem in one or more of the vehicle‟s systems. The red LED is also used to show that DTCs are present. DTCs are shown on the Scan Tool‟s display. In this case, the MIL lamp on the vehicle‟s instrument panel will light steady on.

vehicles. If the vehicle is OBD II compliant, the label will designate “OBD II Certified”. Additionally, Government regulations mandate that all OBD II compliant vehicles must have a “common” sixteen-pin Data Link Connector (DLC). For your vehicle to be OBD II compliant it must have a 16-pin DLC (Data Link Connector) under the dash and the Vehicle Emission Control Information Label must state that the vehicle is OBD II compliant. 3.
PAGE 28
If the scan tool won‟t power up or operates incorrectly in any other way, you need to do the following to check up:  Check if the scan tool‟s OBD II connector is securely connected to the vehicle‟s DLC;  Check if the DLC pins are bent or broken. Clean the DLC pins if necessary.  Check vehicle battery to make sure it is still good with at least 8.0 volts.
