Figure 5-9 Sample vehicle connection message 5.3.1 Cables One of two data cables, one for OBD-II/EOBD compliant vehicles and one for non-OBD-II/EOBD models, are used to connect the Scan Module to the test vehicle. The 26-pin end of either cable attaches to the data cable port on the Scan Module and is secured with two captive screws. The 16-pin end of the OBD-II cable plugs directly into the data link connector (DLC) of the test vehicle. The 15-pin end of the non-OBD-II cable attaches to a cable adapter and is secured with captive screws, the adapter then plugs into the diagnostic connector on the test vehicle. A replaceable 7.5 amp blade-type fuse is installed in the vehicle connector end of the cable to protect the unit from high circuit voltage and current. A green LED, also on the vehicle connector end of the cable, illuminates whenever there is power supplied to the cable. An LED that fails to illuminate indicates either a problem on the vehicle power circuit or a blown data cable fuse. All OBD-II/EOBD vehicles have vehicle battery power (B+) available on the DLC, so the Scan Module should power on as soon as the cable is connected to the vehicle. The auxiliary power cable supplies power for testing models that do not have B+ available on the diagnostic connector. An OBD-I Data Cable and adapters (optional in some markets) are required for testing models that are not OBD-II or EOBD compliant. The large end of the auxiliary power cable plugs into the vehicle accessory port. The small end of the cable fits into a power port built into the side of the cable adapter. An in-line fuse on the auxiliary cable provides circuit protection. On-screen instructions on the display device screen tell you which cable, and adapter if needed, to use once a test vehicle has been identified. The screen message also includes the location of the vehicle diagnostic connector. Follow the on-screen instructions for connecting to the vehicle. 26 Scanner Operations Navigation 5.3.2 No Communication Message If the Scanner is unable to establish a communications link, a no communications message displays. A no communication message, means the Scan Module and the vehicle control module cannot communicate with each other for some reason. The following conditions cause a no communication message to display:
The Scanner is unable to establish a communication link with the vehicle. You selected a system for testing that the vehicle is not equipped with (such as ABS). There is a loose connection. There is a blown vehicle fuse. There is a wiring fault on the vehicle, or in the data cable or adapter. There is a circuit fault in the data cable, Personality Key, or adapter. Incorrect vehicle identification was entered. Refer to the Vehicle Communication Software manuals for manufacturer-specific problems. 5.4 Navigation This section describes how to navigate the Scanner interface and select scanner tests. 5.4.1 Scanner Screen Layout The Scanner screens typically include three sections (Figure 5-10):

The Scan Module, with the latest firmware update, is now ready to use. 51 Chapter 6 OBD Direct Operations This Home screen option allows you to access Generic OBD-II/EOBD Scanner tests without completing a vehicle identification. OBD Direct presents a quick way to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), isolate the cause of an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), check monitor status prior to emissions certification testing, verify repairs, and perform a number of other services that are emissions-related. This mode is also used for testing OBD-II/EOBD compliant vehicles that are not included in the Scanner databases. OBD Direct is a Scanner function, and the Scan Module must be connected to the test vehicle and communicating with the Display Device. This function only provides generic OBD-II/EOBD information. To access enhanced OBD-II/EOBD functions, select Scanner from the Home screen. Selecting OBD Direct on the Home screen opens a menu with two options (Figure 6-1):
Figure 6-1 Sample OBD Direct main menu 6.1 OBD Health Check The OBD Health Check offers a way to quickly check for and clear generic diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and to check readiness monitors. Selecting OBD Health Check opens a submenu of options (Figure 6-2). 52 OBD Direct Operations OBD Health Check Figure 6-2 Sample OBD Health Check menu 6.1.1 Global OBD II Code Check This option displays any stored emission related generic DTCs reported by the ECM. Selecting opens a submenu with two choices: Codes and Pending Codes. Select an option to display the code list. Refer to Codes Menu on page 36 and the Global OBD Vehicle Communication Software Manual for additional information. Codes Codes displays a list of current emission related DTCs. OBD-II/EOBD Codes have a priority according to their emission severity, with higher priority codes overwriting lower priority codes. The priority of the code determines the illumination of the MIL and the code erase procedure. Manufacturers rank codes differently, so expect to see differences between makes. Pending Codes The purpose of this service is to enable the scan 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. The intended use of this service is to assist the service technician after a vehicle repair and after clearing diagnostic information, by reporting test results after a single driving cycle. If a test failed during the driving 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. 53 OBD Direct Operations OBD Health Check 6.1.2 Global OBD II Clear Codes This option is used to clear all emission related diagnostic data such as, DTC records, freeze frame data, and test results, from ECM memory. Although OBD Direct only displays generic OBD-II data, clearing codes erases all of the stored data including any enhanced codes. A confirmation screen displays when the clear codes option is selected to prevent accidental loss of data. Select Yes on the confirmation screen to continue. Refer to Codes Menu on page 36 and the Global OBD Vehicle Communication Software Manual for additional information. 6.1.3 Readiness Monitors Use this menu option to check the readiness of the monitoring system.

This retains the settings and reduces battery drain when switching to a different module. The Play and Record buttons on the Playback toolbar switch the meter back on. Main Body of the Screen The main body of the screen varies depending on what display options have been selected. Up to four traces, along with digital readouts of current signal values, signal status and triggering conditions, can be displayed simultaneously on the main body of the screen. Adjustments to the display are made through the scope toolbar as explained above. Each trace is displayed as voltage over time on a standard oscilloscope screen. Voltage level is recorded on the vertical, or y, axis and time is presented on the horizontal, or x, axis of the screen. Values are shown for each graduation on the scales. When using transducers, the pressure being sensed by the transducer is converted into a voltage signal. However, the values are shown as pressure on the display screen rather than voltage. Trace Details The Trace Details section displayed at the base of the screen can be used to quickly adjust settings for capturing the trace. The Trace details are accessed using either the Data button on the upper toolbar or the Touch and Grow button on the Playback toolbar. Both buttons function the same and cycle the Trace Details selection through three states:

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connent the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connented.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help. FCC 15.21 FCC caution : Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate this equipment. FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement:
1. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 2. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment for body worn configuration in direct contact to the phantom. 4RF Exposure Information (SAR) This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States, Industry Canada of Canada. During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with no separation, and near the body. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output. The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg, and 1.6W/kg by Industry Canada. This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and Canada RSS 102, and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, and Canada RSS 102. This device has been tested, and meets the FCC, IC RF exposure guidelines when tested with the device directly contacted to the body. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: STO-EEHD301NEW For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage near the body is 1.068W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirements. SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance. Carry this device away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic components. RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal, was not tested and certified, and use such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
