1. HOW TO USE OBD-II GENERAL SCAN
TOOL
1) Prepare a general scan tool (OBD-II general
scan tool) required by SAE J1978.
2) Open the cover and connect the OBD-II general
scan tool to the data link connector located in the
lower portion of the instrument panel (on the driv-
er’s side).
3) Using the OBD-II general scan tool, call up the
DTC and freeze frame data.
OBD-II general scan tool functions consist of:
(1) MODE $01: Current powertrain diagnostic
data
(2) MODE $02: Powertrain freeze frame data
(3) MODE $03: Emission-related powertrain di-
agnostic trouble codes
(4) MODE $04: Clear/Reset emission-related
diagnostic information
(5) MODE $06: Request of on-board monitoring
test result for intermittent monitor system
(6) MODE $07: Request of on-board monitoring
test result for continuous monitor system
(7) MODE $09: Request of vehicle information
Read out data according to repair procedures. (For
detailed operation procedures, refer to the OBD-II
General Scan Tool Operation Manual.)
