Key Functions:
- Read Codes: Quickly read current, pending, and permanent diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU).
- Erase Codes: Clear the engine fault light and stored DTCs after repairs have been made. Note: Clearing codes does not fix the underlying problem.
- View Freeze Frame: Access a snapshot of vehicle operating conditions at the moment a fault code was set. This data can help diagnose intermittent problems.
- I/M Readiness: Check the status of emission-related monitors to determine if the vehicle is ready for an emissions test.
- Vehicle Info: Retrieve vehicle identification number (VIN), calibration ID, and calibration verification number (CVN).
- Data Stream: View real-time live data parameters from the vehicle's sensors and components. This includes values like engine RPM, vehicle speed, oxygen sensor readings, and more.
- Battery Voltage Reading: Monitor the vehicle's battery voltage.
- Mode 6 Detection: Access results of on-board diagnostic monitoring tests for specific components/systems that are not continuously monitored.
- Oxygen Sensor Test: Retrieve O2 sensor monitor test results.
- Mode 8 Detection: Perform control of on-board system, test, or component.
- Fault Code Query: Utilize the built-in 35,901 fault code library to quickly look up definitions of DTCs.
- Playback Function: Review previously recorded diagnostic data.
- Print/Upgrade Function: Connect to a computer for printing diagnostic reports or upgrading the scanner's firmware.
Navigating Menus:
Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to scroll through menu options. Press the OK button to confirm a selection. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow buttons for specific data adjustments or navigation within sub-menus. The EXIT button returns to the previous screen or the main menu.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scanner does not power on. | Loose connection; vehicle ignition off; vehicle battery low. | Ensure the OBDII connector is securely plugged in. Turn vehicle ignition to "ON". Check vehicle battery voltage. |
| "Link Error" or "Communication Error" message. | Incorrect protocol; faulty connection; vehicle not OBDII compliant. | Verify the vehicle is OBDII compliant (most vehicles 1996 and newer). Check the connection. Try on another OBDII compliant vehicle. |
| Cannot clear fault codes. | Underlying fault still present; ignition not in "ON" position. | Ensure the underlying issue causing the code has been resolved. Turn ignition to "ON" (engine off). |
