NOTES: 62 Scan Tool User Guide
13: Special Tests Overview The Special Tests function lets you perform special bi-directional diagnostic tests on vehicle systems and components. The tests let you use the scan tool to activate or control the system components. NOTE: During a test, you use the tool to temporarily control a selected component. When you exit the test, the component returns to the normal setting. This chapter includes a basic procedure for doing the special tests, brief descriptions of the special tests, and examples of common special test screens. NOTE: While performing a special test, a Fault Code Detected screen may appear indicating a fault exists. Repair the problem and clear the diagnostic test code(s) before continuing the special test. For details about clearing codes, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Codes on page 37. NOTE: The software has an automatic Diagnostic Code Triggered Record function. If a diagnostic fault occurs while you are testing a vehicle, the software automatically alerts you with a screen message and creates a recording for playback. To replay these recordings, refer to Playback on page 67. WARNING: Before performing any tests, refer to the Safety Precautions and instructions provided in this User Guide and the warnings provided by the vehicle manufacturer. In addition, follow any warnings and descriptions provided on the scan tool screens. WARNING: During active testing, bi-directional component activation is automatically “inhibited” when required to allow components adequate time to cool down. Do not bypass this cool-down period by restarting the test or by using any other means of bypassing the cool-down period. Basic Special Test Procedure The special tests vary for each vehicle, year, and module (Engine, Transmission, ABS, etc.). This section provides basic steps for the special tests. NOTE: The screens shown in this chapter are examples for the ABS module. Actual screens vary by vehicle and module. To perform special tests on a vehicle, follow these steps: 1 Perform the steps in Test Startup and Vehicle Connection on page 14 to enter the vehicle information and display the Diagnostic Menu screen. 2 From the Diagnostic Menu screen, select Special Tests. This displays the Special Tests menu screen (shown below). NOTE: If an identification screen appears, review the screen and press the ENTER key to display the Special Tests menu screen. Figure 13.1: Diagnostic Menu Screen and Special Tests Screen 3 Select the test you want to perform and press the ENTER key. 4 A group selection screen, test selection screen, several step-by-step instruction screens, or bidirectional control screen may appear. Read the screens and follow all instructions. If necessary, use the function keys to perform commands or answer any questions. Use the ENTER key as instructed. (See Special Test Screen Examples on page 64.) 5 When finished, use the EXIT key to return to previous screens. Scan Tool User Guide 63
