Test Startup and Vehicle Connection
Datastream
The datastream function lets you view live data readings from the selected
ECM. With the Datastream screen displayed, you can view the data in an LED,
or graphical format, record and save files for later viewing, sort the data, pause
the readings and view past data, print the data, and more.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The Diagnostics Trouble Codes functions let you read, review, and clear
diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the selected ECM.
Data / Sensor Information
The Data Info function displays a list of the vehicle's engine sensors and
switches that are available for viewing with the Datastream function. With the
list displayed, you can individually select each item and view information about
it, such as a description, a current reading from the vehicle (if the vehicle is
connected), and information about typical values for the sensor or switch.
Diagnostic States (GM)
For some older GM vehicle engine ECMs, the Diagnostic States function lets
you place a vehicle in special test modes (states).
PROM ID (GM)
For some GM vehicles, the Programmable Read-Only Memory Identification
(PROM ID) function displays the PROM ID number and any additional PROM
related information that is stored in the selected ECM.
Special Tests (OBD II)
For Global OBD II tests, the Special Tests functions let you view detailed system
component information, oxygen (O2) sensor readings, Readiness Test results,
and the vehicle identification number (VIN).
Playback Recorded Files
The Playback Recorded Files function lets you view previously recorded data
files. This option is also available on the Application Manager menu screen, as
described on the next page.
