SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW
!
CAUTION: EXHAUST GAS
When performing any checks with the engine running
in an enclosed space such as a garage, be sure there is proper
ventilation. Never inhale exhaust gases; they contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless extremely dangerous gas which
can cause unconsciousness or death.
CAUTION:
!
To help avoid personal injury always set the parking brake
securely and block the drive wheels before performing any
checks or repairs on the vehicle.

INTRODUCTION
This document provides a basic description of the Global OBD II Software.
This software is contained on the Application Cartridge and performs the
basic functions required by the California Air Resource Board (CARB) as
part of the On-Board Diagnostics Phase II (OBD II).
OBD II IMPLEMENTATION
The OBD II system was implemented on some production vehicles in early
1994, even though automobile manufacturers were required to meet the
OBD II regulation for all vehicles sold in California by 1996. Because of their
early adaptation, 1994-95 vehicles equipped with the OBD II system (pre-
1996) were given exemptions by the California Air Resources Board. These
exemptions gave automobile manufacturers the opportunity to implement
certain OBD II modes for 1994-95.
When performing diagnostics on 1994-95 vehicles and communication
problems occur when using the Global OBD II Software, the communication
problem may be a vehicle software problem. If communication problems
occur, refer to the service manual or Technical Service Bulletin information
published by the manufacturer for the vehicle being tested. Communication
problems between the tester and vehicle will not cause incorrect electronic
powertrain operation.

OBD II SYSTEM AND VEHICLE INFORMATION
MONITOR OPERATION
The OBD II system is capable of identifying the likely area of a malfunction
within the electronic powertrain control system. Observe the following
before beginning diagnostic service:
• MIL OPERATION. When excessive tailpipe emissions or powertrain
component failure are detected by the OBD II
Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate.
• LOW FUEL TANK LEVEL. Automobile manufacturers may disable OBD
II monitors which can be affected by running the vehicle out of fuel
(example: a monitor may become disabled when fuel tank volume is
below 15% of maximum fuel tank capacity).
• ALTITUDE. Automobile manufacturers may disable OBD II monitors
which can be affected by altitude (example: a monitor may become
disabled when vehicle is operated above 8,000 feet elevation).
• AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. Automobile manufacturers may disable
OBD II monitors which can be affected by ambient temperature (example: a monitor may become disabled when a vehicle is started below
20°F ambient).
system, the Malfunction
• POWER TAKE-OFF UNIT. Automobile manufacturers may disable
OBD II monitors which can be affected by power take-off unit operation
(example: a monitor may become disabled when a vehicle power takeoff is engaged or active).
All of the above are part of the California Air Resources Board
OBD II regulation and are options available to the automobile manufacturer
for vehicle Powertrain Control Module (PCM) development. In the case of
some monitors, per the above, a manufacturer may have determined that
a monitor is unreliable or not complete when certain conditions exist,
therefore not enabling proper operation.

PRINTING CAPABILITIES
The Global OBD II with Toolpak software supports printing data via a TECH
1 printer, VP411 printer, or other compatible serial printer, connected to the
tester. If you are using a TECH 1 tester, refer to the RS232 Operator's
Manual for setup and printing instructions. If you are using a TECH 1A or
MASTERTECH tester, refer to the tester Operator's Manual for setup and
printing instructions.
Two types of printing are supported by the OBD II software:
• Pressing the • key in a DATA DISPLAY mode (e.g., DATA
READINESS TEST) causes the tester to print a list of data appropriate
LIST or
to
the mode ( a list of diagnostic data parameters or Readiness Test Status ).
• The tester can be setup to print an image of the tester’s screen (referred
to as SCREEN PRINT).
For information on the VP411 serial printer, contact your sales representative.

3.0 GETTING STARTED
POWERING THE MASTERTECH, TECH 1A OR TECH 1
The tester must be provided with an external power source (e.g. vehicle
power or an AC/DC power supply). OBD II compliant vehicles provide power
at the Data Link Connector (DLC), so when using a MASTERTECH or
TECH 1A, the tester only needs to be connected to the vehicle DLC. With
the TECH 1, you must connect the DC Power Cable to the vehicle cigarette
lighter or to an AC/DC power supply.

Parameters
The selection of F1: USER LIST PARAMETERS
will display a list of parameters from which to
select. F1:USER LIST PARAMETERS allows
you to select any combination to monitor (from 1
parameter to all parameters). Parameters are
selected by scrolling through the list using the
u and d keys and then pressing Y and
n to select and deselect the listed parameter.
When the parameters have been selected, press
e to go to the display mode. The tester
will remember the selected parameters ( until
the tester is turned OFF) so you won’t have to reselect them every time.
If there are multiple OBD II ECUs, and the DATA
SETUP mode is selected, an additional DATA
LIST SETUP menu is available. The F0: SELECT ECU menu allows you to select which
ECU(s) will contribute to the DATA LIST. Once
the ECU(s) that will contribute data
are selected, press F1: DATA SETUP to choose
all parameters available or a custom list of
parameters from the chosen ECU(s).

The READINESS test mode allows you to display the status of the vehicle’s
on-board monitors, which monitor the operation of the emissions-related
components. These READINESS tests must run in order for the DTC and
test result displays to accurately reflect the conditions of the vehicle’s
emissions-related components.
If the vehicle you are testing contains more than one OBD II ECU, you will
be asked to select which ECU information you would like displayed.

READINESS TEST OPERATION
OBD II SYSTEM AND VEHICLE INFORMATION
The OBD II system is capable of identifying the likely area of a malfunction
within the electronic engine control system. Observe the following before
beginning diagnostic service:
• LOW FUEL TANK LEVEL. Automobile manufacturers may disable
READINESS tests which can be affected by running the vehicle out of
fuel (example: a monitor may become disabled when fuel tank volume is
below 15% of maximum fuel tank capacity).
• ALTITUDE. Automobile manufacturers may disable READINESS tests
which can be affected by altitude (example: a READINESS test may
become disabled when vehicle is operated above 8,000 feet elevation).
• AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. Automobile manufacturers may disable
READINESS tests which can be affected by ambient temperature
(example: a READINESS test may become disabled when a vehicle is
started below 20°F ambient).
• POWER TAKE-OFF UNIT. Automobile manufacturers may disable
READINESS tests which can be affected by power take-off unit operation
(example: a READINESS test may become disabled when a vehicle
power take-off is engaged or active).
All of the above are part of the California Air Resources Board
OBD II regulation and are options available to the automobile manufacturer
for vehicle Powertrain Control Module (PCM) development. In the case of
some READINESS tests, per the above, a manufacturer may have determined that a READINESS test is unreliable or not complete when certain
conditions exist, therefore not enabling proper operation.
