Once the communication link has been established, you are ready to record
data.
Never operate the tool while driving. Have another person
assist with the operation of the tool.
Recording starts when the ENTER key is
pressed.
The tool records for a varying time
duration. The recording will consist of 5
frames of data prior to the trigger point,
and approximately 20 seconds after the recording. All applicable data
parameters will be recorded for the vehicle.
When the recording is in progress, the
screen to the right is displayed.
When the recording is complete, the tool
will prompt the user to play back the
recording. Answering NO returns to the
Ford Function List. Answering YES goes to the Select Data to View screen.
Playback Data
The Playback Data function is used to view a recording stored in memory. This
function is similar to View Data except the data displayed has been
previously-recorded.
Select Playback Data from the DCL
Function List and press ENTER. If a
recording does not exist in the Scan
Tool’s memory, then a “No data
recorded” message appears. Data must
be recorded first before it can be played
back.
If data is recorded, the tool will prompt
the user to playback data as an Entire
Data List or a Custom Data List. Refer to
“Viewing Data” on page 3-11 of Using
The Scan Tool for help on Data Lists.
