2.3.2 Read Codes
The Read Codes function retrieves Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from vehicles
computer modules. This function can be
performed with the key on and the engine off or
the key on and engine running.
These codes cause the computer to illuminate
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) when an
emission-related or driveability fault occurs. The
MIL is also known as the service engine soon or check engine lamp.
Select Read Codes and press ENTER. The scan tool retrieves the DTCs stored in the
vehicles computer module(s).
The scan tool displays the DTCs or a message
stating SYSTEM PASS: NO CODES FOUND.
Press the DOWN arrow key to view the DTCs or
press the BACK key to return to the OBDII
Function List.
Write down the DTCs for reference, then press BACK to return to the OBDII Function List.
2.3.3 Pending Codes
Pending Codes are also referred as continuous monitor and maturing codes. An
intermittent fault causes computer to store a code in memory. If fault does not occur
again within 40 warm-up cycles, the code clears
from memory. If the fault occurs a specific number
of times, the code matures into a DTC MIL
illuminates or blinks. This function can be per-
formed with the key on and engine running or
not.

4.2.1 Scan Tool does not power up:
Check OBD II connector for power and ground. If no power, check fuse if appli-
cable.
Verify vehicles battery is at least 8 volts.
Unplug and plug back in the Data Link Connector (DLC) to verify connector is
properly seated to vehicle connector.
If scan tool is being powered from an AC/DC 110V to 12V adapter, make sure AC
outlet has power.
4.2.2 Scan Tool does not Link with vehicle:
Make sure cable is correctly connected to DLC. Unplug the DLC adapter from
vehicle and plug back to verify connection.
Verify ignition key is ON not in ACCESSORIES position.
Cycle ignition key OFF for 10 seconds, then ON to reset PCM.
Inspect DLC adapter and computer module connectors for cracked, bent,
corroded or recessed pins, and for any substance that could prevent a good
electrical connection.
In vehicle, verify continuity exists between DLC and computer module. In extreme
cases, broken wire(s) may exist.
Check vehicle computer module for a blown fuse. Refer to vehicle service manual
for fuse location.
Make sure computer module is grounded to vehicle. If the computer module is
grounded to vehicle, then thoroughly clean connection and apply a conductive grease
to mating surfaces.
The vehicle computer module may be defective. Refer to applicable vehicle service
manual for test procedures and diagnostic flowcharts.
