Introduction Power Sources

IMPORTANT:

2.4 Power Sources

Your Diagnostic Tool can receive power from any of the following sources:

• Internal Battery Pack

• AC/DC Power Supply

• Vehicle Power

2.4.1 Internal Battery Pack

The Diagnostic Tool can be powered from the internal rechargeable battery pack. A fully charged battery provides sufficient power for about 3 hours of continuous operation.

Battery charging occurs when the Diagnostic Tool is connected to the AC/DC Power Supply and to a live AC power source.

The Battery Status Indicator LED (located next to the DC power supply jack) indicates battery status (Figure 2-3).

• Green - indicates battery is fully charged

• Red - indicates battery is charging

• Amber - indicates a battery issue. This is usually caused by excessive battery temperature

(above 104°F/40°C), which disables charging. Allow the Diagnostic Tool to cool down before continuing operation.

2.4.2 AC/DC Power Supply

The Diagnostic Tool can be powered from a standard AC outlet using the AC/DC power supply. The connector on the end of the output cable of the AC/DC power supply attaches to the DC power supply input jack on top of the Diagnostic Tool. Use only the AC/DC power supply provided.

Never connect the AC/DC power supply to the DC power supply input on the Diagnostic Tool when the Diagnostic Tool is communicating with a vehicle.

2.4.3 V e hicle Power

All OBD-II/EOBD vehicles have vehicle battery power (B+) available on the DLC. The Diagnostic Tool is powered through the Data Cable when connected to the vehicle DLC. A green LED indicator on the DLC end of the data cable, illuminates when power is being supplied to the cable. If the LED fails to illuminate, check that the data cable is properly connected and then check the DLC power circuit. See Data Cable Connection‚ on page 14 for additional data cable information.

An optional power cable is required when testing non-OBD-II/EOBD models that do not have vehicle battery power (B+) available on the DLC. Contact your sales representative for availability.

Never connect the optional power cable to the DC power supply input on the Diagnostic Tool when the Diagnostic Tool is communicating with a vehicle.

Chapter 5 OBD-II/EOBD

NOTE:

This chapter describes the basic operation of the OBD-II/EOBD function. The OBD-II/EOBD icon is located on the Home screen.

The OBD-II/EOBD function allows you to access “generic” OBD-II/EOBD data. Generic OBD-II/EOBD data is data limited to emission related diagnostics such as:

• Checking for emissions-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)

• Checking the cause of an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)

• Checking monitor status prior to emissions certification testing

To access other available electronic control module (ECM) data for vehicle specific systems, parameters or enhanced diagnostics use the Scanner function, see Scanner on page 16.

i The OBD-II/EOBD function can also be used to access “generic” OBD-II/EOBD data for

OBD-II/EOBD compliant vehicles that are not included in the Scanner function databases.

5.1 Basic Operations

5.1.1 Screen Layout and Toolbar Controls

Screen layout and toolbar controls are similar to the Scanner function, see Scanner Control Icons

on page 17.

5.1.2 Connecting the Data Cable

Connection of the data cable to the Diagnostic Tool and vehicle DLC is required for OBD-II/EOBD testing, see Data Cable Connection‚ on page 14.

5.1.3 Saving and Reviewing Data Files

Save and Pause control icon operation and data review procedures are the same as used for the Scanner function, see Saving and Reviewing Scanner / OBD-II/EOBD Data Files‚ on page 34.

5.2 OBD-II/EOBD Menu

The following options are available from the OBD-II/EOBD menu:

• OBD Health Check

• OBD Direct

OBD-II/EOBD OBD-II/EOBD Menu

5.2.1 OBD Health Check

The OBD-II Health Check offers a way to quickly check for and clear emissions-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), and to check readiness monitors for emissions testing. Selecting opens a connection message. Select Continue or press the Y/a button to open a submenu of test options (Figure 5-1).

Figure 5-1 OBD Health Check menu

Global OBD II Code Check

Global OBDII Code Check displays stored emission related generic DTCs reported by the ECM. Selecting opens a submenu with two choices: Codes and Pending Codes. Either option opens a code list (Figure 5-2).

The DTC results screen is similar to the same screen used in the Scanner function, as both display the SureTrack results message below the toolbar. However, SureTrack is not accessible and no information is displayed in OBD-II/EOBD mode. SureTrack is only accessible in the Scanner function where the vehicle has been identified.

Figure 5-2 DTC Results Screen

OBD-II/EOBD OBD-II/EOBD Menu

NOTE:

Codes

The Codes option displays a list of current emission related DTCs.

OBD-II/EOBD Codes have a priority according to their emission severity. The priority of the code determines the illumination of the MIL and the code erase procedure. Vehicle manufacturers have implemented the ranking differently, so there are differences between makes.

Pending Codes

The purpose of this service is to enable the Diagnostic Tool to obtain “pending” or maturing diagnostic trouble codes. These are codes whose setting conditions were met during the last drive cycle, but need to be met on two or more consecutive drive cycles before the DTC actually sets.

i Save valuable time by using this service to verify test results after a single drive cycle following a

vehicle repair and code clearing procedure.

• If a test failed during the drive cycle, the DTC associated with that test is reported. If the

pending fault does not occur again within 40 to 80 warm-up cycles, the fault is automatically cleared from memory.

• Test results reported by this service do not necessarily indicate a faulty component or system.

If test results indicate another failure after additional driving, then a DTC is set to indicate a faulty component or system, and the MIL is illuminated.

Refer to the Global OBD Vehicle Communication Software Manual for additional information.

Global OBD II Clear Codes

This option is used to clear all emission related diagnostic data, such as DTCs, freeze frame data, and test results, from the memory of the selected ECM. Although OBD-II/EOBD displays generic OBD-II/EOBD data only, clearing codes erases all of the stored data, including any enhanced codes and freeze frame information.

A confirmation screen displays when the clear codes option is selected to prevent accidental loss

of data. Select to continue from the confirmation screen. Refer to the Global OBD Vehicle Communication Software Manual for additional information.

Readiness Monitors

This test checks the status of the readiness monitoring system. An OBD-II /EOBD control system runs continuous and periodic tests to check the status of emission-related systems. Two options are available for Readiness Monitors:

• Monitors Complete Since DTC Cleared—displays the status of all monitors that have run

since the last time ECM memory was erased.

• Monitors Complete This Cycle—displays the status of the monitors that ran during the

current drive cycle only.

OBD-II/EOBD OBD-II/EOBD Menu

Selection of either option displays test results as shown in the data viewer (Figure 5-3).

Quick reference indicators are used to show monitor status on the left side of the screen (Figure 5-3):

• Green icon “a” mark - Monitor test is complete

• Grey icon “—” mark - Monitor test is not complete

• Red icon “X” mark - Monitor test is not supported by vehicle

Use the scroll bar to view the entire list of Readiness Monitors. Selecting Save from the toolbar saves the monitor data as an .SCM file for review at a later time.

See View Saved Data‚ on page 72 for additional information.

Chapter 9 Scope Multimeter

The Scope Multimeter function allows you to perform multiple types of circuit and component measurement tests. This chapter includes general operation procedures, instructions for saving and reviewing test data, optional settings, and general reference information.

9.1 Overview

The Scope Multimeter test functions are:

• Digital Multimeter (DMM)

• Graphing Multimeter (GMM)

• Lab Scope

9.1.1 Digital Multimeter (DMM)

The digital multimeter gives you the ability to quickly make precise common electrical measurements (e.g. DC and AC voltage, resistance and amperage) on circuits and components to verify operation. The meter displays measurements in a digital numerical format, and is typically used for measuring signals that are not rapidly changing.

The DMM is ideal for performing basic tests on most standard automotive circuits, and displays the results in a large easy to see format.

To use the DMM, select the Scope Multimeter icon from the home screen then select Digital Multimeter from the menu. See Tests and Capabilities (Quick Reference)‚ on page 79 for a list of available testing functions.

Scope Multimeter Overview

9.1.2 Graphing Multimeter (GMM)

Unlike the DMM, the graphing multimeter provides two channels for testing and plots a visual graphing line of the signal instead of displaying digital values. The GMM displays a signal’s measurements over time on a two-dimensional grid. This plotted graph is basically a graphical history (histogram) of the signal’s measurements over time.

The GMM uses a higher sample rate (than a DMM) to calculate signal measurements. This characteristic along with the visual graph, make the GMM ideal for finding intermittent dropouts or glitches that may not be obvious when viewing a digital value. A key advantage of the GMM is being able to capture a signal over a long time interval and then review it’s graphical history, to visually see if and when dropouts have occurred.

In addition, the GMM uses a combination of filter and peak detect modes to provide a good balance between detecting fast glitches and preventing unwanted noise from displaying.

Unlike the lab scope, the sweep scales used with typical GMM tests are of longer time intervals, and may range from seconds to minutes, compared to the lab scope sweep scales that use relatively short time intervals (e.g. milli and micro seconds). This allows you to monitor a signal over a longer period of time when looking for erratic glitches or dropouts.

To use the GMM, select the Scope Multimeter icon from the home screen then select Graphing Multimeter from the menu. See Tests and Capabilities (Quick Reference)‚ on page 79 for a list of available testing functions.

Scope Multimeter Overview

9.1.3 Lab Scope

Similar to the GMM, the lab scope (oscilloscope) plots a visual image line of a signal’s measurements over time on a two-dimensional grid. The visual line that is displayed is commonly called a trace, and the graphical form created by a signal is called a waveform.

Unlike the DMM, the lab scope allows you to visually see a signals waveform, which in turn allows you to see the strength and shape of the signal, as well as any noise that may be occurring on the circuit. The lab scope also samples signals at a high rate, which allows you to see a higher level of detail in short samples of the signal, especially in signals that change rapidly. In addition, the lab scope also provides more control over the acquisition of the signal and in how it is displayed, through the use of triggers and channel controls. All of these features allow you to analyze signals in great detail when performing diagnostics.

To use the lab scope, select the Scope Multimeter icon from the home screen then select Lab Scope from the menu. See Tests and Capabilities (Quick Reference)‚ on page 79 for a list of available testing functions.

Scale (Vertical scale adjustm ent)

The vertical scale (Y-axis) represents what is being measured (voltage, amperage, pressure etc.), and the unit of measurement it is being measured in. The vertical scale is “always” divided into10 major divisions; how these divisions are defined, sets the scale of measurement.

i Vertical scales (either channel) can be set independently.

i Optional vertical scale preference settings are available. The Divisions option allow you to change

(to your preference) how the vertical scale menu selections are represented, and the type of value that displays in the vertical scale icon. See Divisions‚ on page 107.

To adjust the vertical scale unit of measurement, select the V ertical Scale icon to open the vertical scale menu. Select a value then press the N/X button, to exit the menu. The value displayed in the vertical scale icon indicates the active value.

Scope Multimeter Operation and Controls

NOTE:

Example: Selecting 10V, changes the vertical scale to a 10V volt scale. The scale is “always”

divided by 10, therefore each division is incremented by 1V.
