„ If DTC’s were retrieved and you are going to perform the repairs
yourself, proceed by consulting the Vehicle’s Service Repair
Manual for testing instructions, testing procedures, and flow
charts related to retrieved code(s).
„ If you plan to take the vehicle to a professional to have it
serviced, complete the PRELIMINARY VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC
WORKSHEET on page 17 and take it together with the retrieved
codes, freeze frame data and LED information to aid in the
troubleshooting procedure.
„ To prolong battery life, the Scan Tool automatically shuts “Off”
approximately three minutes after it is disconnected from the
vehicle. The DTCs retrieved, captured Live Data Information,
Monitor Status and Freeze Frame data (if any) will remain in the
Scan Tool’s memory, and may be viewed at any time by turning
the unit “On”. If the Scan Tool’s batteries are removed, or if the
Scan Tool is re-linked to a vehicle to retrieve codes/data, any
prior codes/data in its memory are automatically cleared.
