Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Scan Tool Testing and Procedures

The scan tool, when plugged into the DLC, becomes part of the vehicle's electronic system. The scan tool can perform the following functions:
- Display ABS and VES data.
- Display and clear ABS and VES Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Provide diagnostic testing for intermittent conditions.

Verify the proper system operation and the absence of DTCs after completing the clearing procedure.

SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
The Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) contains sophisticated on-board diagnostics. When a Scan Tool accesses the EBCM on-board diagnostics, the EBCM on-board diagnostics identify the source of any system malfunction as specifically as possible. The EBCM on-board diagnostics also diagnose whether the malfunction is intermittent. There are 3 VES Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) that assist with diagnostics.
The following actions occur when using the Scan Tool:
- The Scan Tool specifically identifies the last DTC.
- The specific data stores at the time of the malfunction.
- Information about the first five DTCs set and the last DTC set becomes available.
- The input and output can be monitored.
- Malfunction confirmation and repair verification are enabled.
