Code Display

•

This menu contains instructions indicating the conditions that must be met before
performing a KOEO or KOER On-Demand self test and displays the results of the tests.

•

The ODDTCs (On-Demand DTC) and CMDTCs are called up according to the selected
option and displayed on the left-hand side of the screen. After highlighting a certain item
the corresponding description and possible causes for the fault appear on the right-hand
side of the screen. On vehicles with EOBD (European On-Board Diagnostics) the freeze
frame data and the pending DTCs are displayed as well, when reading out the DTCs of
the PCM.

•

When a question mark appears behind a DTC, the IDS offers a pinpoint routine in the
sub-menu (bottom tab row) to guide the user to the fault (not applicable for Mazda
dealers; requires VMM).

•

After pressing the Clear button the DTCs are deleted and the self test is repeated. With
the aid of the Repeat button the test can be repeated any number of times.

Datalogger

•

The Datalogger is a vehicle-specific tool, i.e. it can only be accessed after identifying the
vehicle. It allows the user to monitor the PIDs (Parameter Identification) of the vehicle
and consists of the sub-menus “System Selection”, “PID Selection”, “Live Display” and
“Playback”.

System Selection

•

After selection of the Datalogger function from the toolbox menu the corresponding icon
appears in the top tab row and the Datalogger is ready for use. This menu offers the
possibility of monitoring the PIDs on systems (testing several modules belonging to the
system) or directly on the module.

NOTE: System categories (“Body”, “Chassis”, “Electrical”, “Powertrain”) will only display

PIDs related to that specific system while “Modules” (e.g. PCM (Powertrain Control
Module), ABS module) will display all PIDs from the corresponding module.
Therefore it’s recommended to select the signals by means of the modules installed
in the vehicle.

PID Selection

•

This menu allows the user to select from a list of PIDs to be displayed. Depending on the
system concerned some of the most common signals will be pre-selected. The selection
and display of the individual signals can be changed at any time and adapted to the
requirements of the user.

•

The signals are selected or deselected by clicking the appropriate signal in this screen.
Selected signals are shown bordered/highlighted and described in the status indicator.
Some signals can be displayed in different ways (e.g. ECT (Engine Coolant
Temperature) as a temperature, voltage or mode). These additional choices are offered
in the lower center of the screen, when the corresponding PID is selected.

•

Many of the vehicle modules such as the PCM are only capable of outputting data at a
set maximum rate. If the number of selected signals is too high, the sampling rate is
reduced. If the sampling rate would be reduced too much, all signals appear in yellow or
red. The total number of signals must then be reduced.

•

Clicking the Clear button deselects all the signals. The “Store Signal” and “Load Signal”
buttons allow the user to store individual signal selections with the corresponding
settings and load them again later.
