CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE
■ If the CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool fails to
link to the vehicle’s computer, a
“Vehicle is not responding” message
shows on the CanOBD2&1 Scan
Tool’s display. Do the following:
- Verify the ignition is ON.
- Check the cable connections at
the CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool and at
the vehicle’s DLC.
- Turn the ignition OFF, wait 10-12 seconds, then turn back ON
to reset the computer.
- Press the ENTER/LD button and repeat steps 4 through
6 as necessary.
7. If the CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool was able
to link to the vehicle successfully a
"Code retrieval was successful..." mes-
sage shows temporarily on the
CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool’s display fol-
lowed by any retrieved DTCs.
■ The CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool will dis-
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.
8. If more than one code was retrieved
press the DTC SCROLL button, as
necessary, to display additional codes
one at a time.
In the case of long code definitions, a small arrow is shown
in the upper/lower right-hand corner of the code display area
to indicate the presence of additional information. Use the
and buttons, as necessary, to view the additional
information.
9. Disconnect the CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool from the vehicle and turn
the ignition key OFF.
10. To prolong battery life, the CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool automatically
shuts "Off" after approximately three minutes of no button activity.
The DTCs retrieved will remain in the CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool's
memory, and may be viewed at any time. If the CanOBD2&1 Scan
Tool’s batteries are removed, or if the CanOBD2&1 Scan Tool is re-
linked to a vehicle to retrieve codes, any prior codes in its memory
are automatically cleared.
