control modules that provide it, engine codes and Jxxx component identifiers are shown as
well.
Results:
If you close the Auto-Scan dialog, any data in its output box will be lost. If you would like to
keep a record, click the [Copy] button first, then you can paste the results into the
application of your choice, such as MS Word or Notepad.
[Print]
This function sends the results to your printer.
[Save]
This function saves the results to a text file in our Logs directory, typically in
C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\Logs\
[Clear]
This erases your results. This does NOT erase the fault codes from any of the controllers.
You'll need to go into each controller to Clear Codes or use the Clear All DTC's function for
that.
