General Information

The scan tool, when plugged into the DLC, becomes part of the vehicle's electronic system. The scan tool can perform the following functions:
- Display ABS data.
- Display and clear ABS diagnostic trouble codes.
- Control ABS components.
- Perform extensive ABS diagnosis.
- Provide diagnostic testing for intermittent ABS conditions.

Each test mode has specific diagnosis capabilities which depend upon various keystrokes. In general, the scan tool has five test modes for diagnosing the ABS. The four test modes are as follows
- DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC) - In this test mode, diagnostic trouble codes stored by the EBCM, both current ignition cycle and history, may be displayed or cleared. DTC history data is also displayed. This data includes how many ignition cycles since the DTC occurred, along with other information for the last DTC set. The first five and last DTC set are included in the ABS history data.
- DATA DISPLAY- In this test mode, the scan tool continuously monitors wheel speed data, brake switch status and other inputs and outputs.
- SNAPSHOT - In this test mode, the scan tool captures data before and after a system malfunction (AUTO TRIGGER) from a forced manual key press or from a DTC setting.
- SPECIAL FUNCTIONS - In this test mode, the scan tool performs various functional tests to assist in problem isolation during troubleshooting.
