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.
