Accessing OBDII Data

From the Start Menu, select OBDII

Session using the up and down

arrow keys, then press Enter.

Follow the screen instructions, and

turn the Ignition Key to the ON

position, or start the engine. Press

Enter.

Once you press enter the Scan

Tool will try a number of different

communication protocols to establish

a connection with the vehicle. Even

though OBDII is a “standard” for

vehicle communication, there are

multiple languages that make up

the OBDII specification.

Once communication has been

established with the vehicle, the Scan

Tool will display the results of the

comprehensive readiness monitor. If

any of the readiness monitors have

failed, or are pending, the screen

will say “NOT all system readiness

tests have been completed. Press

Enter when you are finished with this

screen.

The OBDII Session screen is now

displayed. At this point you can

select Datastream, Trouble Codes,

Readiness Monitors, Test Modes, or

Disconnect from the menu.
