After selecting View Data, a Select Data
to View screen will allow you to
customize the function. See “Viewing
Data” on page 3-11 of Using The Scan
Tool for Entire or Custom Data Lists.
After selecting the Entire Data List or Custom Data List, press
ENTER.
Once the communication link has been established, start the engine and let idle.
The tool displays either the Entire or Custom Data List, depending on the
previous selections. A Vehicle Data List header marks the beginning of the data
list. Use the
UP/DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the PIDs.
If the Custom Data List parameters need to be changed, press the
BACK key
at any time. This returns the tool to the Custom Data List display.
When done, press
BACK twice to return to the DCL Function List or press
FUNC to return to the Ford Function List.
Record Data
The Record Data function is used to record vehicle data parameters over time.
The Record Data function allows diagnosis of an intermittent problem by
analyzing data leading up to the problem, during the problem, and possibly after
the problem, depending on duration. This function is used if no other diagnostic
method works.
The tool records data based on time (5 frames prior to the trigger point, and for
a duration after). The time after depends on the vehicle data rate.
Select Record Data from the DCL
Function List and press
ENTER.
If a recording currently exists in memory,
a message to ERASE OLD
RECORDING displays.
The tool maintains only one recording at
a time, so be sure to thoroughly review
an old recording before erasing it. Power to store recordings is provided by the
scan tool’s internal battery, thus, recordings are stored in memory only for the
life of the battery.
