3. OBD2 Diagnostic Functions
The T300PRO offers 10 full OBD2 functions to help you understand and resolve engine-related issues.
- Read DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codes): Identifies problems when the warning light turns on, providing clear definitions.
- Clear DTC: Erases diagnostic trouble codes and turns off the Check Engine Light after repairs.
- Live Data: Displays real-time data streams from various sensors, allowing for dynamic monitoring of vehicle performance.
- Freeze Frame: Captures a snapshot of critical sensor values when a fault code is triggered, aiding in diagnosis.
- I/M Readiness Monitor: Checks your vehicle's smog test status to ensure all monitors are ready before inspection.
- O2 Sensor Test: Monitors the oxygen sensors to ensure proper exhaust gas analysis.
- EVAP System Test: Verifies the integrity of the evaporative emission control system for potential leaks.
- ECU Information: Retrieves vehicle information such as VIN, calibration ID, and calibration verification number.
- Mode 6: Advanced test results for non-continuously monitored systems.
- Mode 8: Component Test, allowing for on-demand testing of specific components.
