Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to view the recorded PID data of each frame. The end of the list is reached when only the ] (up) icon is visible.

Use the LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys to scroll back and forth through the frames. The RIGHT arrow key advances to the next frame, “wrapping around” to the earliest frame when the final frame is reached. The LEFT arrow key goes back to the previous frame, again “wrapping around” to the final frame.

Different vehicles communicate at different speeds and support a different number of PIDs. Therefore, the maximum number of frames that can be recorded will vary.

Some vehicles wait a long period of time to store a trouble code after the driveability problem occurs. If you selected “Trigger On Codes” when you made your recording, you might not see any drastic change in data parameters before and after the trigger point. In cases like this, the user can manually trigger the recording when the symptom is observed.

When done, press BACK to return to Review Data or press FUNC to return to

the Chrysler Functions menu.

PRINT DATA

This function allows you to print recorded data stored in the tool, such as:

Codes, Temp Codes, Playback Data, Freeze Frame and Controller Info. See “Print Data” on page 4-20 of Global OBDII Diagnostics.

CODE LOOKUP

Code Lookup is used to look up definitions of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in the scan tool. The scan tool does not require power from the vehicle to perform this function. Internal battery power can be used.
