ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)(H4SO) > General Scan Tool
1. HOW TO USE GENERAL SCAN TOOL
1. Prepare a general scan tool required by SAE J1978.
2. Connect the general scan tool to data link connector located in the lower portion of the instrument panel (on the driver’s side).
3. Using the general scan tool, call up DTC and freeze frame data.
General scan tool functions consist of:
(1) MODE $01: Current powertrain diagnostic data
(2) MODE $02: Powertrain freeze frame data
(3) MODE $03: Emission-related powertrain DTC
(4) MODE $04: Clear/Reset emission-related diagnostic information
(5) MODE $06: Request on-board monitoring test results for intermittently monitored systems
(6) MODE $07: Request on-board monitoring test results for continuously monitored systems
2. MODE $01 (CURRENT POWERTRAIN DIAGNOSTIC DATA)
Refer to data denoting the current operating condition of analog input/output, digital input/output or the powertrain system.
A list of the support data and PID (Parameter Identification) codes are shown in the following table.
