Follow the below steps for reading data on your vehicle:
1. Configure the tool for the vehicle.
Power on the tool, press MENU, select SELECT VEHICLE TYPE, press
ENTER. Follow the on screen configuration questions.
2. Locate the correct cable for your vehicle.
Once configured the tool displays a screen with an image of the cable head
compatible with your vehicle. Use the image as a guide to locate the correct cable.
3. Connect the cable to the vehicle.
Most OBD-II and GM OBD-I vehicles have the connector under the dashboard on
the driver's side. Ford and Chrysler OBD-I vehicles have the connector in the
engine compartment. See the vehicle user manual for exact location.
4. Gather the vehicle data by pressing the READ button.
Make sure the key is in the ON position. Once the read is complete, the vehicle's
configuration and scan data can optionally be saved for later viewing.
5. View the data.
At any time after a successful scan, press MENU and select VIEW CODES to see
the code numbers and text descriptions. For OBD-II vehicles, emissions readiness
monitor status can also be viewed.
Description of OBD-I
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) developed on board diagnostics (OBD)
in response to increased emissions standards being regulated by the California Air
Resource Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
