Manual Vehicle Selection

When the vehicle’s VIN is not automatically retrievable through the vehicle's ECU, or

the specific VIN is unknown, you can choose to select the vehicle manually.

Step-by-step Vehicle Selection

This mode of vehicle selection is menu driven; you simply follow the screen prompts

and make a series of choices. Each selection you make advances you to the next

screen. A Back button at the lower right corner of the screen returns you to the

previous screen. Exact procedures may vary somewhat by various vehicles being

serviced.

Alternative Vehicle Identification

Occasionally, you may identify a test vehicle that the tester does not recognize; the

database does not support, or has some unique characteristics that prevent it from

communicating with the tester through the normal channels. In these instances, you are

provided with the OBD direct entry, through which you can perform generic OBD II or

EOBD tests. See Generic OBD II Operations on page 45 for additional information.
