Available Codes/Data Types
The following code and data types are supported by the Tool:
Codes
When you view codes, the Tool displays Confirmed, Pending, and
Permanent Codes. Confirmed Trouble Codes are reported when a com-
ponent, sensor, or other part of the vehicle is indicating a malfunction
is present. The malfunction must be present for a sufficient amount of
time before the vehicle will record and the Tool will display a Confirmed
Trouble Code. Confirmed codes are indicated by the Cnf icon.
Pending Codes are only reported if a problem occurs during the current
or last completed drive cycle. Pending Codes do not necessarily indicate
a faulty component or system. Pending Codes convert to Confirmed
Trouble Codes when an emissions problem persists long enough to
be considered a real problem, not an anomaly. Pending Codes are
indicated by a Pnd icon.
Permanent Codes are a special type of confirmed code. Permanent
Codes began being reported by vehicles beginning around 2010, so
they are not supported by every vehicle. While Confirmed Codes can
be erased by the tool, Permanent Codes cannot. Permanent Codes
are erased by the vehicle when the vehicle has determined the fault
is no longer present. Permanent Codes are indicated by a Prm icon.
Live Data
The Live Data function allows real time viewing of the vehicle computer
module Parameter ID (PID) data. For a list of PIDs supported by the
tool, see "PID Definitions" on page 11.
If the vehicle is equipped with more than one computer module, the
tool will display a menu. Select from the menu which computer you
wish to view Live Data.
To view Live Data, use the READ and ERASE keys to scroll through
the PID list. Pressing the READ key for 2 seconds or the ERASE
key for 3 seconds has no effect while viewing live data.
