  1. USING HAND-HELD TESTER

    2. Monitor the ECU data by following the prompts on the tester screen.

  2. DTC CLEAR

  3. DATA LIST 

    HINT:

    According to the DATA LIST displayed by the OBD II scan tool or hand-held tester, you can read the value of the switch, sensor, actuator and so on without parts removal. Reading the DATA LIST as a first step of troubleshooting is one of the method to shorten the labor time.
