GM Historic (OBD I) Diagnostics

View Data

The View Data function allows the user to view the vehicle parameter identification (PID) data in real time. As the powertrain control module (PCM) monitors PIDs, they are simultaneously transmitted to the Scan Tool. The PIDs are continuously updated at the PCM’s rate.

In addition to reading codes, View Data is the most useful diagnostic function for isolating the cause of a vehicle operation problem. Viewing data is also used for observing sensor data and the ON/OFF state of switches, solenoids, and relays.

View Data can be performed with key on engine off (KOEO) or key on engine running (KOER).
