„ If communication with the vehicle is
lost while viewing Live Data, a
“Communication Lost" message
shows on the Scan Tool's display.
5.
If you experience vehicle problems, view
and/or compare the Live Data (PID)
information displayed on the Scan Tool
to specifications in the vehicle's repair
manual.
If desired, you can "customize" the Live Data display to show
only those PIDs you are interested in viewing. See
Customizing Live Data (PIDs) below for details.
6.
You can toggle back and forth between the DTC screen (to view
DTCs) and Live Data screen (to view PIDs) by alternately pressing
and releasing the DTC/FF
and the LD/ENTER buttons once
(the unit will stay linked to the vehicle while toggling between
modes). If the DTC/FF
button is pressed twice, then the screen
will scroll to the next DTC and the tool will be taken out of link.
When toggling from the Live Data to the DTC screen a “one
moment please...” message will temporarily display, followed
by the DTC screen.
CUSTOMIZING LIVE DATA (PIDs)
This feature lets you customize the Scan Tool display to show only
those PIDs that are of interest at the current time. You can customize
the Live Data display by placing the Scan Tool in "Custom Live Data"
mode and selecting only the PIDs that you wish to display. To customize
the Live Data display, proceed as follows:
1.
With the Scan Tool in "Live Data" mode (see VIEWING LIVE DATA
on page 32 for details), press and hold the LD/ENTER button
until the "Mode Selection Menu" appears.
2.
Use the DOWN
button to highlight
Custom Live Data, then press the
LD/ENTER
button.
„ The "Custom Live Data" menu
displays, with the first PID in the
menu highlighted.
3.
Use the DOWN button to scroll through
the available PIDs. When the PID you
wish to display is highlighted, press the
LD/ENTER
button to select it (a
"checkmark" will show in the checkbox to
the right of the PID to confirm your
selection). Repeat the procedure until only
the PIDs you want to display have all
been selected.
