and/or compare the Live Data (PID)
information displayed on the Scan Tool
to specifications in the vehicle's repair manual.
If desired, you can "customize" the Live Data display to show
only those PIDs you are interested in viewing. See
Customizing Live Data (PIDs) below for details. You may
also choose to "capture" (record) Live Data for later viewing.
See Recording Live Data on page 37 for details.
6. You can toggle back and forth between the DTC screen (to view
DTCs) and Live Data screen (to view PIDs) by alternately pressing
and releasing the DTC SCROLL and the ENTER/LD but-
tons once (the unit will stay linked to the vehicle while toggling
between modes). If the DTC SCROLL button is pressed twice,
then the screen will scroll to the next DTC and the tool will be taken
out of link.
When toggling from the Live Data to the DTC screen a “one
moment please...” message will temporarily display, followed
by the DTC screen.
