1-4 Operating the OBD II System Tester

POWERING-UP

Connect the OBD II System Tester to the DLC. This

connection will provide power for the OBD II System

Tester. The DLC contains power even when the ignition

is turned off. Connection to the battery is not necessary.
When the OBD II System Tester powers up, a series of screens are displayed. The

screens start with a “Welcome” screen and end with a “Help for Instructions” screen.

Before the “Help for Instructions“ screen, the tool performs a self-test and then displays

the software version “SW ID: xxxx.” Refer to this software version if you need to contact

Actron’s technical support line with a problem.

The “Help for Instructions” screen allows the

user to review the keypad definitions. Press the

? key for instructions or the ENTER key to

continue and display the MAIN MENU.

NOTE: Your OBD II System Tester requires a minimum of 8 volts to power up. If the

power-up persists, review Section 4-2: Tool Problems to find the cause.

KEYPAD

The OBD II System Tester software was designed for ease in operation and naviga-

tion through the menus. Simply follow the instructions that match the keypad symbols

and you will be using your OBD II System Tester like an expert in no time.

a mild detergent or water to clean. Let dry thoroughly before operating tool.
