CONFIGURING THE TOOL FOR YOUR VEHICLE

reconfigured for OBD-II vehicles by pressing MENU, selecting the SELECT VEHICLE
TYPE option, and selecting OBD-II 1996-CURRENT.
GM, Ford, and Chrysler OBD-I
At any time, press MENU, select the SELECT VEHICLE TYPE option, and select the
appropriate option. Specify the model year of the vehicle, then specify the 8th VIN
digit. Answer any other on screen configuration questions. Configuration is complete
when a screen appears displaying an image of a vehicle cable.

Locate the cable that matches the on screen cable image. Refer to Cables &
Descriptions in this manual for specific information.
