Changing the Vehicle

Changing vehicles erases all data
stored in the tool. The default is YES.
Press to continue.
Four Vehicle Options are available: Genera l Motors, Ford, Chrysler and Global
OBD II. Global OBD II does not require additional information and takes you
directly to the function list. The other three require addi tional infor mation so that
the tool can communicate with the vehicle. For example, select GENERAL
MOTORS.
The menus provide a list
of choices and reference
the vehicle’s VIN where
applicable. The VIN is vis-
ible from outside the vehi-
cle by looking through the
base of the front wind-
shield at the top of the
dashboard on the driver’s
side. Because manufac-
turers use different VIN
schemes, the tool will
indicate which digit of the
VIN to locate for informa-
tion such as Year, Make
and Engine.
Use arrow
keys to move through the
list.
If you make a mistake,
press the key to
return to the previous
menu.
At the last screen, press

If a message displays, follow the instruc-
tions then press .
Vehicles manufactured from 2000 to present aut om atically use Global OBD
II Diagnostics even if GM, Ford or Chrysler was selected.
