2.3.10 Record Data
Record Data function records PIDs while vehicle
is parked or being driven. This function is mainly

problems that cannot be isolated by any other
method. The scan tool can maintain only one
recording at a time. Be sure to thoroughly review
old recording before erasing.

and press ENTER. Follow all instructions on
display.
If a recording currently exists in memory, a mes-
sage prompting to erase data is displayed.

The screen is composed of three lines of data and one line for the frame number and
timestamp (in seconds). Negative frames and timestamps indicate data recorded before
the trigger event. Positive frames and timestamps indicate data recorded after the trigger
event.
• Use UP/DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the recorded PID data of each frame.
The end of the list is reached when only the (up) icon is visible.
• Use the LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys to scroll back and forth through the frames. The
LEFT key advances to the next frame, “wrapping around” to earliest frame when
the final frame is reached. The RIGHT arrow key goes back to the previous frame,
again “wrapping around” to the final frame.
Different vehicles communicate at different speeds and support a different number of
PIDs. Therefore, the maximum number of frames that can be recorded will vary.
Some vehicles wait a long period of time to store a trouble code after the driveability
problem occurs. If you selected “Trigger On Codes” when you made your recording, you
might not see any drastic change in data parameters before and after the trigger point. In
cases like this, the user can manually trigger the recording when the symptom is observed.
When done, press BACK to return to Review Data or to the OBDII Function List.
