Read Codes

The Read Codes function allows the Scan Tool to read the DTCs from the vehicle’s control modules. DTCs are used to help determine the cause of a problem or problems with a vehicle. These codes cause the control module to illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when emission-related or driveability fault occurs. MIL is also known as service engine soon or check engine lamp.
