3 Getting Started

3.1 Introduction

The scan tool was developed by experts in the automo­tive service industry to help diagnose vehicles and assist in troubleshooting procedures. The scan tool monitors vehicle events and retrieves codes from the vehicle’s control modules to help pin­point problem areas. All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest information avail­able from industry sources at the time of publication. No warranty (expressed or implied) can be made for its accuracy or completeness, nor is any responsibility assumed by the manufacturer or anyone connected with it for loss or damages suffered through reliance on any information contained in this manual or misuse of accompanying product. The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes at any time to this manual or accompanying product without obligation to notify any person or organization of such changes.

3.2 Download Scanning Suite

1. Go to www.actron.com/updates-downloads to download the Scanning Suite PC application. Scan­ning Suite is NOT required to operate the scan tool.
2. Install the downloaded Scanning Suite application before connecting the scan tool to the PC. To be able to use Scanning Suite the PC must meet the following minimum requirements:
• Microsoft Windows 7, 8, and 10
• Adobe Acrobat Reader
• Screen Resolution of 800 x 600
– If screen resolution is 800 x 600, in Display
Properties, Settings Tab, set Font Size to Small Fonts.
3. Use Scanning Suite to determine if any updates are avail­able for your tool by clicking Check for Update button.
4. Check for updates to Use Scanning Suite by clicking on the Check For Scanning Suite Update button. This should be done before checking for Tool Updates.
You can also configure the Scanning Suite Frequency (SS Frequency) to automatically check every xx minutes. The default frequency is 7 days. Refer to instructions provided on www.actron.com/ updates-downloads for how to install Scanning Suite and Tool updates.

3.3 OBDII

On-board diagnostics version II (OBDII) is a system that the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) developed to standardize automotive electronic diagnosis. Beginning in 1996, most new vehicles sold in the United States were fully OBDII compliant. Technicians can now use the same tool to test any OBDII compliant vehicle without special adapters. SAE estab­lished guidelines that provide:
• A universal OBDII data link connector, called the DLC, with dedicated pin assignments.
• A standard location for the DLC, visible under the dash on driver’s side.
• A standard list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) used by all manufacturers.
• A standard list of parameter identification (PID) data used by all manufacturers.
• Ability for vehicle systems to record operating condi­tions when a fault occurs.
• Expanded diagnostic capabilities that records a code whenever a condition occurs that affects vehicle emissions.
• Ability to clear stored codes from the vehicle’s memory with a scan tool.

3.4 SAE Publications

SAE has published hundreds of pages of text defining a standard communication protocol that establishes hard­ware, software, and circuit parameters of OBDII sys­tems. Unfortunately, vehicle manufacturers have differ­ent interpretations of this standard communications protocol. As a result, the generic OBDII communications scheme varies, depending on the vehicle. SAE publishes recommendations, not laws, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) made many of SAE’s recommendations legal requirements that vehicle manufacturers were required to phase in over a three-year period. Beginning in 1994, vehicles with a new engine management com­puter (about 10% of each manufacturers fleet) were sup­posed to comply with OBDII standards. For 1995, OBDII systems were to appear on about 40% of the new vehi­cles sold in the United States. Some of the 1994-1995 OBDII systems were not fully compliant, so the Govern­ment granted waivers to give manufacturers time to fine-tune their systems. Beginning in 1996, most of the new vehicles sold in the United States were fully OBDII compliant.

3.5 OBDII Data Link Connector (DLC)

The OBDII data link connector (DLC) allows the scan tool to communicate with the vehicle’s computer(s). Beginning in 1996, vehicles sold in the United States use the J1962 (OBDII) DLC, a term taken from a physical and electrical specification number assigned by the SAE (J1962). The DLC should be located under the dash­board on the driver’s side of the vehicle. If the DLC is not located under the dashboard as stated, a decal describing its location should be attached to the dash­board in the area the DLC should have been located. For more information on OBDII connectors, go to http:// www.obdclearinghouse.com/oemdb.

3.6 OBDII Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)

J2012 and ISO 15031-6 are standards for all DTCs, established by the SAE, International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and other governing bodies.
• Codes and definitions assigned by these specifica­tions are known as Generic OBDII codes.
• OBDII requires compliance to these standards for all cars, light trucks, APVs, MPVs, and SUVs sold in the United States.
• Codes not reserved by the SAE are reserved for the manufacturer and referred to as Manufacturer Spe­cific Codes.
DTCs are used to help determine the cause of a problem or problems with a vehicle.

5.1 I/M Monitors (Emissions)

The I/M Monitors (Inspection / Maintenance) function is used to view a snapshot of the operations for the emis­sion system on OBDII vehicles. I/M Monitors is a very useful function. To guarantee no faults exist make sure all monitors are ok or n/a and no DTC’s exist. Refer to the vehicles service manual for the drive cycle operation. During normal driving conditions, the vehicle computer scans the emission system. After a specific amount of drive time (each monitor has specific driving conditions and time required), the computer monitors decide if the vehicles emission system is working correctly or not as well as detecting out of range values. When the monitor status is:
• ok - vehicle was driven enough to complete the monitor.
• inc (Incomplete) - vehicle was not driven enough to complete the monitor.
• n/a (not applicable)- vehicle does not support that monitor.
Depending on vehicle, disconnecting or a discharged battery may erase DTCs and clear monitor status. Moni­tors may be reset by:
• Erasing codes
• Vehicle control modules losing power
The I/M Monitors function can be run key on engine running (KOER) or key on engine off (KOEO). Extreme weather and/or road conditions can prevent a monitor from running. Also, some monitors may require a cold start to complete. From the Diagnostic Menu.

5.2 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. When referring to the engine control module, MIL is also known as service engine soon or check engine lamp. Read Codes can be done with the key on engine off (KOEO) or with the key on engine running (KOER). From the Diagnostic Menu.

5.9 Drive Cycle Monitor

The Drive Cycle Monitor function is very similar to I/M Monitors though the Drive Cycle Monitor is used to
view real-time operations of the emissions system on OBDII vehicles. Drive Cycle Monitor continuously updates as the vehicle reports operations of the emis­sion system.
CAUTION
Two people must be in vehicle when driving. One to drive and the other to operate the scan tool.
• Refer to the vehicle service manual for the drive cycle operation.
Drive Cycle Monitor can be used if you want to drive the vehicle until all of the monitors are OK. During normal driving conditions, the vehicle computer scans the emission system. After a specific amount of drive time (each monitor has specific driving conditions and time requirements), the computer monitors will decide if the vehicle emissions system is working cor­rectly or not as well as detecting out a range of values. When the monitor status is:
• “ok” - vehicle has been driven enough for function.
• “inc” (incomplete) - vehicle was not driven enough to complete all of the monitors.
• “n/a” (not applicable) - vehicle does not support that monitor.
Reset monitors by:
• Erasing codes.
• Vehicle computer module losing power (on some vehicles).

5.10 O2 Monitor Tests

OBDII regulations require applicable vehicles monitor and test oxygen (O2) sensors to determine problems related to fuel and emissions. The O2 Monitor Tests allows retrieval of completed O2 sensors monitor test results.
• The O2 Monitor Tests is not an on-demand test. O2 sensors are not tested when selected via the menu. O2 sensors are tested when engine operating condi­tions are within specified limits.
• If the vehicle communicates using a controller area network (CAN), O2 Monitor Tests are not supported by vehicle. A message is displayed. See “Diagnostic Monitor Tests” in this section to see O2 monitor data.
• O2 sensors are located before (upstream) and after (downstream) catalyst(s). Sensors are named (xy) for their position to both cylinder banks and catalysts.
– The O2 sensor for cylinder bank 1 has prefix 1y
while O2 sensor for cylinder bank 2 has prefix 2y.
– The O2 sensor upstream of catalyst (closest to
engine) has suffix x1 while O2 sensor down­stream of catalyst has suffix x2. If vehicle con­tains more catalysts, O2 sensor downstream of second catalyst has suffix x3 and O2 sensor downstream of next catalyst has suffix x4.
– For example, O2S21 is upstream O2 sensor for
cylinder bank 2.
The following O2 Sensor Tests are available:
• Rich-to-lean sensor threshold voltage
• Lean-to-rich sensor threshold voltage
• Low sensor voltage for switch time
• High sensor voltage for switch time
• Rich-to-lean sensor switch time
• Lean-to-rich sensor switch time
• Minimum sensor voltage test cycle
• Maximum sensor voltage test cycle
• Time between sensor transitions

DLC KOER Voltage ---
The second “Test Results” screen example did detect that the engine had started, and a KOER reading is displayed. The second “Test Results” screen example shows that the KOEO voltage before an engine start was attempted was 11.7V. Once the starter began cranking the engine, a cranking voltage of 8V was measured. After the engine started, a KOER voltage reading of 14.6V was measured.
• If the KOEO voltage is very low, this could be an indication of a bad battery, or one that needs to be charged.
• If the cranking voltage is a lot lower than the KOEO voltage, than this is an indication of a worn starter.
• If the KOER voltage is not higher than the KOEO voltage, than this indicates a bad or weak alternator.
7. After reviewing the test results, press or to return to the Diagnostic Menu.

5.14 Vehicle Information

The Vehicle Information function allows the scan tool to request the vehicle’s VIN number, calibration ID(s) which identifies software version in vehicle control module(s), calibration verification numbers (CVN(s)) and in-use performance tracking.
• Vehicle Information function applies to model year 2000 and newer OBDII compliant vehicles.
• The scan tool cannot verify if data is correct for scanned vehicles.
• CVNs are calculated values required by OBDII regula­tions.
• The CVN calculation may take several minutes.
• CVNs are reported to determine if emission-related calibrations have been changed. Multiple CVNs may be reported for a control module.
• In-use performance tracking, tracks performance of key I/M Monitors.
From Diagnostic Menu:
1. Select Vehicle Information.
Test Results
DLC KOEO Voltage 11.7 DLC Cranking Voltage 8.0
