1. HOW TO USE GENERAL SCAN TOOL
1. Prepare a scan tool (general scan tool) required by SAE J1978.
2. Connect the general scan tool to data link connector located in the lower portion of the instrument panel (on the driver’s side).
3. Using the general scan tool, call up DTC and freeze frame data.
General scan tool functions consist of:
(1) MODE $01: Current powertrain diagnostic data
(2) MODE $02: Powertrain freeze frame data
(3) MODE $03: Emission-related powertrain DTC
(4) MODE $04: Clear/Reset emission-related diagnostic information
Read out the data according to repair procedures. (For detailed operation procedure, refer to the general scan tool instruction manual.)
NOTE:
For details concerning DTC, refer to “List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”. 
2. MODE $01 (CURRENT POWERTRAIN DIAGNOSTIC DATA)
Refer to data denoting the current operating condition of analog input/output, digital input/output or the powertrain system.
A list of the support data and PID (Parameter Identification) codes are shown in the following table.

4. MODE $03 (EMISSION-RELATED POWERTRAIN DTC)
Refer to “Read Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)” for information about data denoting emission-related powertrain DTC.
5. MODE $04 (CLEAR/RESET EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION)
Refer to the mode used to clear or reset emission-related diagnostic information (general scan tool trouble diagnostic information).
NOTE:
Refer to general scan tool manufacturer’s operation manual to clear or reset emission-related diagnostic information (MODE $04).
