■ The CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool will auto-
matically re-link to the vehicle’s com-
puter every 30 seconds to refresh the
data being retrieved. When data is
being refreshed, the message “One
moment Auto – link in progress” is

vehicle’s computer.

play a code only if codes are present
in the vehicle’s computer memory. If
no codes are present, a “No DTC’s
are presently stored in the vehicle’s
computer” message is displayed.

up to 32 codes in memory, for immediate or later viewing.
