DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
1. I/M MONITOR STATUS field - Identifies the I/M Monitor status area.
2. Monitor icons - Indicate which Monitors are supported by the vehi-
cle under test, and whether or not the associated Monitor has run
its diagnostic testing (Monitor status). When a Monitor icon is solid,
it indicates that the associated Monitor has completed its diagnos-
tic testing. When a Monitor icon is flashing, it indicates that the vehi-
cle supports the associated Monitor, but the Monitor has not yet run
its diagnostic testing.
3. Vehicle icon - Indicates whether or not the Scan Tool is being
properly powered through the vehicle’s Data Link Connector (DLC).
A visible icon indicates that the Scan Tool is being powered through
the vehicle’s DLC connector.
4. Link icon - Indicates whether or not the Scan Tool is commu-
nicating (linked) with the vehicle’s on-board computer. When visible,
the Scan Tool is communicating with the computer. If the Link icon
is not visible, the Scan Tool is not communicating with the computer.
5. Computer icon - When this icon is visible it indicates that the
Scan Tool is linked to a personal computer. An optional “PC Link
Kit” is available that makes it possible to upload retrieved data to a
personal computer.
6. Scan Tool Internal Battery icon - When visible, indicates the
Scan Tool batteries are “low” and should be replaced. If the batter-
ies are not replaced when the battery symbol
is "on", all 3 LEDs
will light up as a last resort indicator to warn you that the batteries
need replacement. No data will be displayed on screen when all 3
LEDs are lit.

ber. Each fault is assigned a code number that is specific to that fault.
