Innovate Motorsports OT-2 - Manual (Page 12)

3.4 DTCs Tab
This tab is for viewing and clearing ‘Diagnostic Trouble Codes’ on your vehicle. It requires OT-2
hardware to operate. Within this tab you can scan for DTCs, clear DTCs, and view the status of
emission tests
3.4.1 Scan for DTCs
If hardware is present and connected a scan will happen automatically when you select this tab.
To scan again, press the ‘Re-Check’ button.
Note: If there are more codes than can fit on the screen you can scroll the text by swiping up and
down. If you are running OS 3.0 or newer you can also copy and paste the results.
3.4.2 Clear DTCs
Press the ‘Clear All’ button.
Pressing the ‘Clear All’ button sends a request to the ECU that all trouble codes be cleared. But,
ultimately, the ECU decides if a code can be cleared. If the same failure conditions are detected,
the light will stay on and some codes can only be cleared by a series of special steps or special
vendor specific commands.
3.4.3 Emissions Tests Status
Press the ‘Advanced’ button.
In California, and a growing list of other parts of the US, cars must be smog tested. As part of
these tests, some self test information is taken from the vehicle’s ECU. When all available self
tests report “Ready”, the vehicle can be smog tested. If any report “Not Ready”, the test must be
deferred. Usually “not ready” will appear after DTCs have been cleared, the battery has been
disconnected, or a set of specific fault conditions has been detected. If the ‘MIL’, or ‘Check
Engine’ light is off, the tests will generally transition to ‘Ready’ simply with driving and the
passage of time.
3.5 OT-2 Tab
This tab shows basic information about your OT-2 hardware and your vehicle’s ECU (Engine
Control Unit). It also allows you to configure your OT-2.
3.5.1 Channel Configuration
1. On the upper left-hand corner you will see a icon which is used to enter a
configuration screen, alternatively press the HW SETUP button.
2. The configuration screen has three parameters to configure:
Channels to Provide: Select how many channels to display and data log. (Note: It is best to start
with a small number of channels in the beginning to be able to gauge the speed of the ECU.)
