Scan Tool Data

S6JB0B7204006

As the data values given below are standard values estimated on the basis of values obtained from the normally
operating vehicles by using a scan tool, use them as reference values. Even when the vehicles are in good condition,
there may be cases where the checked values do not fall within each specifies data range. Therefore, judgement as
abnormal should not be made by checking with these data alone.
