VIEW DATA

The View Data function allows “real time” viewing of vehicle’s Parameter Identification (PID) data. As computer monitors vehicle, information is simultaneously transmitted to scan tool. Apart from Read Codes, View Data is the most useful diagnostic function for isolating cause of a vehicle operation problem. Viewing data is also used for observing sensor data and status of switches, solenoids, and relays.

After making selection, press ENTER to establish a communication link. Multiple PIDs may be sent if vehicle is equipped with more than one computer module — Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Transmission Control Module (TCM), etc. Scan tool identifies them by their identification names (ID) assigned by manufacturer (i.e. $40 or $1F).

If Scan Tool receives multiple responses for a PID, such as MIL STATUS, Scan Tool displays PID and with computer module ID blinking in parentheses.
