Scan Module Operation Pairing The Scan Module

5.2 Pairing The Scan Module

To use the Scan Module with the Scanner or OBD-II/EOBD functions, it must first be paired with

the Diagnostic Tool.

Pairing is the wireless connection (identification) process used to connect the Scan Module to

your Diagnostic Tool.

The Scan Module only needs to be paired once before it’s initial use. The connection configuration

should remain in memory for all future uses, unless the connection configuration is removed or

lost.

NOTE:

i Wireless devices shown in this section are used as reference. Not all devices shown may be

applicable to your Diagnostic Tool.

z To pair the Scan Module with the Diagnostic Tool:

1. Turn on the Diagnostic Tool.

IMPORTANT:

The Scan Module needs to be powered on during the pairing process. Connect the Scan Module

to a vehicle or to the Diagnostic Tool using the USB cable. Make sure the Diagnostic Tool has a

charged battery or is connected to the AC/DC power supply.

2. Connect the 26-pin end of the data cable to the Scan Module data cable connector.

3. Connect the 16-pin end of the data cable to a vehicle data link connector (DLC).

The green LED on the Scan Module is illuminated when power is being supplied to the Scan

Module. For additional information on the Data Cable, see Data Cable Connection on

page 57.

4. From the Diagnostic Tool select System Settings > Paired Devices.

5. Select Add from the toolbar, then OK when prompted.

The Diagnostic Tool searches for compatible wireless devices, then displays the results.
