Scan Tool Diagnostics
A scan tool is used to retrieve and clear DTCs. The scan tool also has several features that can be used to help locate an intermittent condition. When scan tool is used for system tests, it will display values actually seen or commanded by various systems (i.e., BFC, PCM, instrument cluster, EBCM or SDM). This will usually include the following types of information:
- Analog Data Input
Displays analog input seen by system.
- Inputs/Outputs
Displays digital values as seen by system, and provides indication of whether input or output has cycled.
- Special Functions (Output Controls)
Allows for outputs of system to be set at a desired value (ON or OFF).
- Clear Codes
Will erase DTCs for system currently selected (if problem still exists in system, DTC may immediately reset).
