Diagnostics

The diagnostics scanner included with your Evolution is a powerful tool that

allows you to view and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) on your

vehicle, as well as record a data stream (5 parameters of your choice) for 1

detects a problem with your vehicle. The “Check Engine” light on your dash

is activated by the presence of most DTCs.

If you selected Diagnostics from the main menu of the Evolution, the screen

displays the following message:
