Scan tool retrieves a list of supported PIDs. After list is generated, scan tool prompts to
select type of data to view. Refer to View Data described earlier in this section to setup

On next screen, select a method to trigger a
recording. Manual Trigger allows technician to

cally triggers when a DTC is indicated by vehicle.

Scan tool recording times vary. A recording consists of 5 frames of data prior to trigger
and several frames after trigger. Amount of PIDs recorded determine number of frames.
After a recording, scan tool displays a prompt to
playback recording. Answer YES to display
recorded data or NO to return to OBDII Function
List.
2.3.11 Vehicle Info
Vehicle Info function enables scan tool to request vehicle’s VIN number and calibration
ID(s) which uniquely identifies software version in vehicle control module(s).
This function applies to Model Year 2000 and later OBD II compliant vehicles. The scan
tool cannot verify if data returned is correct for scanned vehicle. This information is
provided by vehicle manufacturer. The Vehicle Info test must be completed with the key in
the ON position and the Engine OFF.
Calibration Verification Numbers (CVNs) are calculated values required by OBD II
regulations with the vehicle engine off. CVNs are reported to determine if emission-
related calibrations have been altered. Multiple CVNs may be reported for a control
module. The calculation may take several minutes first time the CVNs are requested.
Select Vehicle Info from OBD II Function List and
press ENTER.
If the message INVALID displays on screen, then
data returned is incorrect, or not formatted in
accordance with OBD II specification.
