PID/Data Monitor & Record

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. PID/Data Monitor and Record option allows technician using scan tool to read the state of several Parameter IDs (PIDs) to aid in diagnosing the system. See PARAMETER IDENTIFICATION (PID) INDEX & VALUES  table.
  2. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC), located under instrument panel near steering column. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Follow manufacturer"s instructions for scan tool being used. PIDs are continuously updated on scan tool display.
