Introduction

ABS / Air Bag 2004 is a software program for the Next Generation Information System (NGIS) tool. With the software installed (and unlocked) in the NGIS tool, and with the tool properly connected to a vehicle’s elec- tronic control unit (ECU), you can use the software to read the vehicle’s anti-lock brake system (ABS) and air bag information and to perform device control tests.

Some of the functions provided by the ABS / Air Bag

2004 software include the following:

After you enter vehicle information into the NGIS tool, the software displays an illustration of the cables required for connecting the NGIS tool to the vehicle’s ECU. After you connect the correct cables, the software automatically determines the tests available for that vehicle.

The software automatically saves the most recently used vehicle setup for you to reuse quickly. You can also save vehicle setups for reuse.

You can view “live” sensor and switch datastream infor- mation while it is being communicated from the vehicle’s ECU.

The tests let you read diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) for air bags and anti-lock brake systems. (In addition, you can manually enter diagnostic codes for vehicles without readable electronic control units.)

Record (Save) and Playback functions let you record and replay datastream DTC information similar to a video recorder function.

An automatic diagnostic code triggered record function automatically creates a recording for playback and alerts you whenever a diagnostic code occurs during testing.

A Post Collision test provides instructions for testing air bags after repair(s).

Pathfinder and Vehicle Info functions let you view vehicle- specific information, such as technical service bulletin (TSB) references, vehicle specifications, repair instruc- tions, ECU component location(s), and brake bleed procedures.

The tests include programmed diagnostic procedures (special tests) you can use for bi-directional control tests on anti-lock brake systems.
