✓Datastream Menu functions are used to view and record engine data transmitted from the vehicle on EEC-IV vehicles beginning in 1990. These functions allow viewing of data parameters in real time to pinpoint problems when they occur. The Scan Tool also has the ability to record these data parameters as the vehicle is operated to locate intermittent problems.

View Data

✓ The View Data function allows the mechanic to view Parameter	6
Identification Numbers (PIDs) in real time. Simply stated, as the

powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the vehicle’s PIDs, they are simultaneously transmitted to the Scan Tool. Viewing data is also used for observing sensor data and the on/off state of switches, solenoids, and relays.
