The Diagnostic Tool can retrieve a list of modules supported by the
vehicle under test.

the UP and DOWN buttons, as
necessary, to highlight Available Modules,
then press the ENTER/FF
button.
2. A "One moment please..." message
displays while the requested information
is retrieved from the vehicle's computer.
3. When the retrieval process is com-
pleted, a complete list of modules
supported by the vehicle under test is
shown on the Diagnostic Tool’s display.

the ENTER/FF button to the OBD2 DTC screen.
The Diagnostic information retrieved can be transferred to a
personal computer (PC) with the use of an optional Tek-Link
program. See documentation that comes with program for
instructions.
ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)
When the Diagnostic Tool’s ERASE function is used to
erase DTCs from the vehicle's on-board computer,
"Freeze Frame" data and manufacturer-specific-enhanced
data are also erased. "Permanent" DTCs ARE NOT erased
by the ERASE function.
If you plan to take the vehicle to a Service Center for repair, DO NOT
erase the codes from the vehicle's computer. If the codes are erased,
valuable information that might help the technician troubleshoot the
problem will also be erased.
