    HINT: 

    • Data can be captured relatively easily by using the snapshot function in the Data List.
    • Enter the following menus: Data List / Function / Snapshot Configure / Duration / 5 min.
    • Data capture can be started by using the target point function. For example, setting the target point to an engine speed of 4000 rpm and then racing the engine, etc. to raise the engine speed to a speed of 4000 rpm or more will cause data capture to start.
  8. After "Coolant Temp" stabilizes, check that "Coolant Temp" is 75°C (167°F) or higher [C].

    HINT: 

    If "Coolant Temp" is below 75°C (167°F) while driving the vehicle at 50 mph (80 km/h), inspect the cooling system and thermostat.
