After selecting View Freeze Data, the OBD II

System Tester establishes a communication

link to the vehicle’s PCM. All PIDs supported by

the vehicle are displayed. Use the UP and

DOWN arrow keys to scroll through all se-

lected data parameters.
When done, press the BACK key to return to the OBD II Function Menu.
If no data exists, a message will display

prompting the user to press any key to return to

the OBD II Function Menu.

NOTE: If you get an Operating Error message, make sure the DLC adapter cable is

securely attached and the ignition key is ON, then try again. If the problem

remains, refer to Section 4: On-Line Help and Trouble-Shooting Tips.

Record Data

The Record Data function is used to record vehicle Parameter Identification Data (PIDs)

while the vehicle is parked or being driven. This function is mainly used for diagnosing

intermittent driveability problems that cannot be diagnosed by any other method. For

example, if your vehicle sometimes loses power while going up steep hills, then you

should start a recording as soon as your vehicle reaches the base of the hill. The OBD II

System Tester records the supported PIDs in Frames at various time intervals. The first

5 Frames are recorded prior to the start time (0.0 seconds) Once started, Frames will

be recorded for 8 to 35 seconds; the number of Frames depends on the vehicle’s data

rate and quantity of PIDs. The Record Data function allows you to diagnose an intermit-

tent problem by analyzing data leading up to the problem, during the problem, and

possibly after the problem, depending on problem duration. The PIDs covered by the

OBD II System Tester are defined in Appendix B.
Select Record Data from the OBD II Function Menu and press the ENTER key. The

Pick Trigger Method menu is displayed next. Select either Manual Trigger or Trigger

on Codes then press the ENTER key.

If the memory is full from a previous recording,

it must be erased before recording more data.

To erase memory and continue, select YES

and press the ENTER key and then the Pick

Trigger Method options will display. Otherwise,

select NO and press the ENTER key to return

to the OBD II Function Menu.

NOTE: If you get an Operating Error message, make sure the DLC cable is securely

attached, and the ignition key is ON, then try again. If the problem persists,

refer to Section 4 of this Manual: On-Line Help and Trouble-Shooting Tips.
