parameter description, the minimum and maximum value
of the parameter for the test cycle, and the ID of the ECU
that reported it.

Key Help and Menu Help

The MTS 3100 Mastertech provides standard Key Help
and Menu Help. Key Help displays a list of all active
keys for the current mode or screen along with a brief
summary of the function that each key performs. In many
cases additional information describing the operating
mode is displayed. Menu Help describes the function of
each item on a menu screen.

DATA LIST

Data List mode retrieves all diagnostic data parameter
information that is reported by the vehicle’s OBD II controller.
The Data List can be user tailored to balance the amount of
data displayed with the update rate. If all diagnostic data
parameters are displayed, the data will be updated every 3­4 seconds. Switching to the User List mode and then selecting
the desired parameters will improve the update rate. For
example, you can select a single parameter and get an update
rate of approximately 8 times per second. While in Data List
mode, you will be allowed to choose from a number of
display formats listed below.

MULTIPLE ECU SUPPORT

Some vehicles can send OBDII information to the tester from
more than one ECU. For example, both an engine and a
transmission controller may report engine RPM and throttle
position to the tester. When a data parameter is reported by
more than one ECU, the MTS 3100 Mastertech will alert the
operator. The MTS 3100 will also notify the user whether
these parameters have similar (=) or different (>) values as
reported by the ECUs.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

The DTC function displays a list of Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTCs) and their descriptors, along with the ID of
the ECU reporting them and how many codes have been
reported. If more than one ECU is present in the vehicle,
you can sequence through the code list for each of the ECUs,
displaying two DTCs per screen. It will also indicate with
an “*” whether there is Freeze Frame Data available for
that DTC. Pending DTCs are displayed in a format identical
to normal DTCs and are selectable from the DTC menu.

FREEZE DATA

Vehicle ECUs save information about the state of the vehicle
when a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) occurs. This data is
referred to as Freeze Frame Data and can be read by the tester
using the Freeze Data function. This function can be selected
from the DTC menu, or it can be invoked from the DTC
display mode. Multiple frames of Freeze Frame Data will be
displayed for selection if they are supported by the OBD II
controller. The data is displayed in the Data List format. The
first parameter in the list is the Trouble Code that caused the
Freeze Data to be saved.

Snapshot function provides a method of storing diagnostic
data parameter information. Data is saved in the Mastertech
while the tester is waiting for a trigger condition. Once a
manual or DTC trigger occurs, data continues to be saved
until the snapshot is complete. This allows data to be saved
both before and after the trigger. Users can select the trigger
point (how much data is saved after the trigger occurs). The
display indicates graphically and numerically where the trig­ger point is located relative to the start and end of the Snap­shot data buffer. Snapshot data can be printed or recalled at
a later time even after the tester has been powered down.

CLEAR DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION

The Clear Diagnostic Information function is used to clear
DTCs from vehicle ECUs along with any other diagnostic
information that the controller has saved, such as Freeze
Frame Data and Readiness Test information. A prompt screen
is displayed to prevent inadvertent clearing of the diagnostic
information.

OBD CONTROLS

The OBD Controls mode enables an off-board device to
control the operation of an on-board system, test, or
component. The support of this test mode is completely
dependent on the vehicle under test.

OXYGEN SENSOR TEST RESULTS

The OBD II system can provide Oxygen Sensor (O2S) Test
Results for multiple oxygen sensors. The O2S Test Results
function queries the ECU to determine which oxygen sensors
are present. It displays a list of these sensors so you can select
one to examine. The MTS 3100 Mastertech then displays all
available parameters for the selected oxygen sensor.

READINESS TESTS

The Readiness Test function allows you to monitor the status
of various on-board tests that are performed by vehicle ECUs.
These tests must run for the DTC and Test Results displays
to accurately reflect the health of the vehicle's emissions­related components. This function indicates which tests are
complete, incomplete, or not available (N/A) for the vehicle
being tested.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Current and Temperature Probes

Current Probe

The inductive current probe is de­signed for use with the Vetronix MTS
3100 Mastertech and accessories and
provides accurate, non-intrusive mea­surement of AC, DC and AC+DC
waveform currents.Using advanced
Hall Effect technology, the current
probe can accurately measure currents
from 0.05 Amps to 30 Amps over the
frequency range of DC to 100 KHz.

Current Waveform

The ability to display current wave­forms of automotive components is

COR

becoming a valuable diagnostic tool
on modern vehicle systems. For ex­ample, the current probe can quickly
and easily display the current wave­form of any output component — such
as a fuel pump or fuel injector.

The 0-30 Amps Inductive
Low Current Probe enables
you to measure:

■ Battery Parasitic Drain

— The static current drain from
the battery

■ Fuel injector current

■ Windshield wiper and washer

motor current

■ Transmission Pressure Control

Solenoid current

■ HVAC Blower motor current

■ Display current waveform for any

vehicle solenoid or actuator.
Example: Electric Fuel Pump
current waveform provides
current draw of pump and RPM
of pump.

Infrared Temperature Probe

The Vetronix temperature probe
provides safe, simple, non-contact tem­perature measurement over a range of

32-1000° Fahrenheit, in 5°F increments.
The temperature can be displayed in
either Fahrenheit or Celsius. The probe

uses infrared technology
to measure the tempera­ture of objects without
having to touch them and
is ideal for many automo­tive applications particu­larly when measuring hot,
hazardous, or rotating ob­jects.

The

32-1000°F I
Temperature Probe enables
you to measure:

■ Coolant temperature at radiator

tanks, thermostat housing,
heater core, etc.

■ Engine oil temperature at oil pan

■ Brake rotor temperature

■ Exhaust manifold temperature

and cylinder firing condition

■ HVAC outlet temperature,

evaporator or condenser tem­perature

■ Transmission oil temperature

■ Other vehicle component tem-
