OBD-II VEHICLES

Reading Your OBD-II vehicle

Connect the CodeScout to your vehicle. The CodeScout communicates with the
computer in your vehicle through a special connection cable.
The cable is plugged into a connector on the bottom of the CodeScout and into a
computer interface port on your vehicle.
a. Each vehicle manufacturer has its own specific computer connection
location. However, on all OBD-II vehicles, the port is usually located
under the drivers side of the dashboard and within two feet of the
steering column.
b.Make sure that all pins are straight and the connecting surfaces
are free of oils, grease and moisture.
c. Push the CodeScout cable into the vehicle port firmly.
d.Insert the CodeScout cable into the bottom of the code reader.
1. Power the CodeScout on. Make sure the
vehicle is connected (Fig.6).
2. Turn the vehicle ignition key to ON or start
the engine. Configure for OBD-II if necessary.
3. Press the READ button.
4. The Save Vehicle Scan question (Fig.8)
displays followed by the Information Summary
(Fig.7) if the scan was successful.
5. The Read Error screen displays if the scan
was not successful. If this happens, refer to the
Troubleshooting section of this manual.

Before you start, your vehicle must have been read before viewing the data.
The CodeScout does not need to be connected to the vehicle to view the data. The
vehicle data remains in the memory until a vehicle is read again. This allows you to
review the data at a later time, or to use EZ-PC to load the data into a computer.
When viewing the OBD-II vehicle data, pressing the left and right arrow buttons
navigate forward and backward through the list of stored codes. The code number is
displayed at the top of the screen, and supporting text is displayed at the bottom of
Fig.6
the screen. If the entire supporting text does not fit on the screen, pressing the UP
and DOWN arrow buttons scrolls through the text.
To view the data that was previously saved using the Scan History function, simply
recall the saved vehicle information as follows:
• Press MENU
• Press arrow down to SELECT VEHICLE TYPE
• Press ENTER
• Press arrow down to PREVIOUSLY SAVED
Fig.7 • Press ENTER
• Arrow down to the saved scan and press ENTER.
All scanned data for that vehicle is loaded into the tool.
