Before testing a vehicle, make sure the transmission is in PARK (automatic transmission) or Neutral (manual transmission) and the parking brake is set.

Never lay tools on the vehicle battery.

Battery acid can burn. If contacted, rinse with water or neutralize with a mild base such as baking soda. If you splash your eyes, flush with water and call a physician immediately.

Whenviewingcodes,theTooldisplaysConfirmed, Pending,and PermanentCodes.ConfirmedTrouble Codes arereported whenacomponent, sensor, or other part of the vehicle is indicating a malfunction is present.

The malfunction must be present for a sufficient amount of time before the vehicle records and the Tool displays a Confirmed Trouble Code. Confirmed codes are indicated by the CONFIRMED icon.

Pending Codes are only reported if a problem occurs during the current or last completed drive cycle. Pending Codes do not necessarily indicate a faulty component or system. Pending Codes convert to

Confirmed Trouble Codes when an emissions problem persists long enough to be considered a real problem, not an anomaly. Pending Codes are indicated by a PENDING icon.

Permanent Codes are special confirmed code. Permanent Codes began being reported by vehicles beginning around 2010, so they are not supported by every vehicle. While Confirmed Codes can be erased by the tool, Permanent Codes cannot. Permanent Codes are erased by the vehicle when the vehicle has determined the fault is no longer

present. Permanent Codes are indicated by a PERMANENT icon.
