View Data
✓
The View Data function allows the user to view the vehicle
parameter identification (PID) data in real time. As the powertrain
control module (PCM) monitors PIDs, they are simultaneously
transmitted to the Scan Tool. The PIDs are continuously updated
at the PCM’s rate.
✓
In addition to reading codes, View Data is the most useful
diagnostic function for isolating the cause of a vehicle operation
problem. Viewing data is also used for observing sensor data and
the ON/OFF state of switches, solenoids, and relays.
✓
View Data can be performed with key on engine off (KOEO) or key
on engine running (KOER).
Never operate the Scan Tool while driving. Have
another person assist with the operation of the Scan
Tool.
