or forward through the data, frame-by-frame.

Pathfinder
The Pathfinder function on the Datastream screen’s 
More menu provides quick access to the Pathfinder 
software’s menu options. With these menu options, you

descriptions, technical service bulletin (TSB) refer-
ences, vehicle specifications, ECU component 
location(s), and brake bleed procedures. You can also 
use this function to access the Repair Trac or Fast 
Fixes software from within the ABS / Air Bag software.
