Changing the Vehicle

Changing vehicles erases all data

stored in the tool. The default is YES.
Press

ENTER to continue.

Four Vehicle Options are available: General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and Global

OBD II. Global OBD II does not require additional information and takes you

directly to the function list. The other three require additional information so that

the tool can communicate with the vehicle. For example, select GENERAL

MOTORS.
The menus provide a list

of choices and reference

the vehicle’s VIN where

applicable. The VIN is

visible from outside the

vehicle by looking

through the base of the

front windshield at the top

of the dashboard on the

driver’s side. Because

manufacturers use

different VIN schemes,

the tool will indicate which

digit of the VIN to locate

for information such as

Year, Make and Engine.
Use

UP/DOWN arrow

keys to move through the

list.
If you make a mistake,

press the

BACK key to

return to the previous

menu.
At the last screen, press

ENTER.

If a message displays, follow the

instructions then press

ENTER.

Vehicles manufactured from 2000 to present automatically use Global OBD

II Diagnostics even if GM, Ford or Chrysler was selected.
