Introduction
The Scanner interfaces with the electronic control system of a vehicle to retrieve diagnostic
trouble codes (DTCs), access serial data stream information, and command bi-directional tests.
Various vehicle control systems, such as engine, transmission, and antilock brake system (ABS),
are readily diagnosed using this scan tool. The Scanner is capable of graphing up to four live data
parameters on a single screen, and also includes an extensive database of vehicle-specific
troubleshooting information.
This chapter describes the construction of the scan tool and addresses the use of the basic
