Important Safety Information
Work Area Safety
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark
areas may cause accidents.
2. Do not connect or disconnect the
Scan Tool while the ignition is
on or the engine is running.
3. DO NOT attempt to operate
the Scan Tool while driving
the vehicle. Have a passenger
operate the Scan Tool.
4. Before testing a vehicle, engage the
parking brake and chock the tires.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or
flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
6. Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated
work area.
Exhaust gases are poisonous.
7. Do not operate the Scan Tool
in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or heavy dust.
8. Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for
gasoline/chemical/electrical fires nearby.
9. Use extreme caution when working
around the ignition coil, distributor
cap, ignition wires and spark plugs.
These components create hazardous
voltages when the engine is running.
10. Keep bystanders, children and visitors
away while operating the Scan Tool.
11. This product is not a toy. Do not allow
children to play with or near this item.
12. Use as intended only.
13. Inspect before every use; do not use
if parts are loose or damaged.
14. Do not place the Scan Tool
on any unstable surface.
15. Handle the Scan Tool with care. If
the Scan Tool is dropped, check for
breakage and any other conditions
that may affect its operation.
16. Keep the Scan Tool dry, clean,
free from oil, water or grease.
Use a mild detergent on a clean

Overview
OBD II On-Board Diagnostics
It is required by the EPA that all 1996 and
newer vehicles sold in the United States be
equipped with an OBD II computer system.
OBD II is an early warning system
designed to monitor engine, transmission,
and emissions control components by
performing specific diagnostic tests.
When a fault condition is detected, the
system captures important data and
activates the “Check Engine” light.
If the light comes on, the vehicle might have
a condition that wastes fuel, shortens engine
life, or causes excessive air pollution. If
the problem that caused the light to come
on is addressed, for instance a loose gas
cap is tightened, the light will go out.
If the light comes on and stays on, a minor
engine fault condition is occurring and
should be addressed as soon as possible
If the light is blinking, a severe engine
fault condition is occurring and should
be addressed immediately.
The Scan Tool connects to the vehicle’s
computer system and captures information
that can help identify the fault condition.
Vehicle Coverage
This Scan Tool is designed to work with
all OBD II compliant vehicles, including
those equipped with a CAN bus.
OBD II was installed in some 1994 and
1995 model year gasoline vehicles.
To verify if a 1994 or 1995 vehicle is
OBD II compliant, check the Vehicle
Emissions Control Information label, which
is located in the engine compartment.

Definitions
• EOBD: European On-Board
Diagnostics
Essentially the same as OBD II, with
the same Data Link Connector and
Communication Protocols.
• Communication Protocol: Allows
different systems and sensors in a
vehicle to communicate.
There are currently five Protocols:
CAN Bus
J1850 VPW
ISO 9141-2
J1850 PWM
ISO 14230 KWP
• CAN: Controller Area Network
Message-based Communication
Protocol serial bus.
• CAN Vehicle
2008 and newer.
• Pre-CAN Vehicle
2007 and older.
• DLC: Data Link Connector
The 16-cavity connector on the vehicle
that allows communication between the
computer system and the Scan Tool.
• Drive Cycle
A set of driving procedures that,
when met, provide the Enabling
Criteria for the I/M Monitors to run
and complete their diagnostic tests.
• Enabling Criteria
Operating conditions that must
occur during a Drive Cycle to
cause the I/M Monitors to run and
complete their diagnostic tests.
• MIL: Malfunction Indicator Lamp
The vehicle’s “Check Engine”
warning light that activates
when a DTC is stored.
• DTC: Diagnostic Trouble Code
A code stored in the computer
system’s memory, which helps to
identify the fault condition that is
causing the MIL to activate.
• Freeze Frame Data
Operating conditions that are
stored when a DTC is stored.
• PID - Parameter Identification Data
Data returned by the vehicle’s
Control Modules to the Scan Tool.
Control Modules
Control Modules are individual computers that operate and monitor different
systems in the vehicle. Control Modules vary depending on manufacturer.
ID codes are assigned to each Control Module, which are
defined by the vehicle’s Communication Protocol.
For example, a vehicle may use ID code $7E8 for the PCM and $7E9 for the TCM.

I/M Monitors
Inspection and Maintenance diagnostic tests that the Control Modules
perform on specific sub-systems of the vehicle.
There are two types of Monitors:
• Continuous: Monitors that
perform tests all the time while
the engine is running.
• Non-Continuous: Monitors that require
specific operating conditions to be met
during a Drive Cycle in order for the
Monitors to run their testing sequences.
Note: Not all Monitors are
supported by all vehicles.

Diagnostic Trouble Code
A five digit alphanumeric identifier for a fault condition identified
by the OBD II system. There are three types of DTCs:
1. Pending - When a fault condition
is identified during a Drive Cycle,
but does not meet enough
criteria to activate the MIL.
If the fault condition occurs during two
consecutive Drive Cycles, it will turn into
a Stored DTC and the MIL will activate.
2. Stored - A DTC is stored when a fault
condition has occurred that meets
enough criteria to activate the MIL.
3. Permanent - A stored DTC that can only
be cleared by the OBD II system, after
repairs are made, and a set number of
Driving Cycles have been completed.
