B. Read Fault Code
This function is to read the DTC in the ECU memory , helping maintenance personnel to
quickly identify the cause of the vehicle breakdown.
Tips: Reading the DTC when troubleshooting a vehicle is only a small step in the entire diagnostic
process. Vehicle DTC are for reference only, and parts cannot be replaced directly based on the
given DTC defi nition. Each DTC has a set of test procedures. The maintenance technician must
strictly conform to the operation instructions and procedures described in the car maintenance
manual to confi rm the root cause of the breakdown.
As shown below, click “Read Fault Code”, and then the screen will display diagnostic
results.
Screen buttons:
Freeze frame: If this button is highlighted, it means there is freeze frame information. The
freeze frame serves to record some specifi c data streams at the moment when the car

Report: Save the current diagnosis result as a diagnosis report. The diagnostic report is
saved in the ThinkFile module and can be sent to designated e-mail boxes.
Tips: After the report is produced, the technician can take a real-time photo of the vehicle and save
it as a vehicle maintenance fi le.

a test run, read the DTC again for verifi cation, repair the vehicle, clear the DTC, and try again to
confi rm that the DTC no longer appear.
