Safety Precautions
This manual describes common test procedures used by experienced service technicians. Many test procedures require precautions to avoid accidents that can result in personal injury, and/or damage to your vehicle or test equipment. Always read your vehicle’s service manual and follow its safety precautions before and during any test or service procedure. Always observe the following general safety precautions:
| When an engine is running, it produces carbon monoxide, a toxic and
poisonous gas. To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide
poisoning, operate the vehicle ONLY in a well-ventilated area.
---|---
| To protect your eyes from propelled objects as well as hot or caustic
liquids, always wear approved safety eye protection.
| When an engine is running, many parts (such as the coolant fan, pulleys, fan
belt etc.) turn at high speed. To avoid serious injury, always be aware of
moving parts. Keep a safe distance from these parts as well as other
potentially moving objects.
| Engine parts become very hot when the engine is running. To prevent severe
burns, avoid contact with hot engine parts.
| Before starting an engine for testing or troubleshooting, make sure the
parking brake is engaged. Put the transmission in park (for automatic
transmission) or neutral (for manual transmission). Block the drive wheels
with suitable blocks.
| Connecting or disconnecting test equipment when the ignition is ON can
damage test equipment and the vehicle’s electronic components. Turn the
ignition OFF before connecting the Code Reader from the vehicle’s Data Link
Connector (DLC).
| The vehicle’s battery produces highly flammable hydrogen gas. To prevent an
explosion, keep all sparks, heated items, and open flames away from the
battery.

On-Board Diagnostics (OBDI II
What is OBD?
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) is an automotive electronic system, which is
capable of a self-diagnosis, indicating and reporting the possible problem
within the vehicle. It gives you or the technician the opportunity to easily
access the information about the ‘health’ of your car and solve the problem.
The OBD II system is designed to monitor emission control systems and key
engine components by performing either continuous or periodic tests of
specific components and vehicle conditions. When a problem is detected, the
OBD II system turns on a warning lamp (MIL) on the vehicle instrument panel to
alert the driver typically by the phrase ” Check Engine” or “Service Engine
Soon”. The system will also store important information about the detected
malfunction so that a technician can accurately find and fix the problem. Here
below follow three pieces of such valuable information:
- Whether the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is commanded on or off.
- Which, if any, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) are stored.
- Readiness Monitor Status.
How Does it Work?
There are multiple sensors in your vehicle and each sensor sends a signal to
your vehicle’s computer – the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The ECU uses the
signal/information and adjusts different elements in order.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes IDTCsJ
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC Look Up) OBDII Diagnostic Trouble Codes are
codes that are stored by the onboard computer diagnostic system in response to
a problem found in the vehicle. These codes identify a particular problem area
and are intended to provide you with a guide as to where a fault might be
occurring within a vehicle. OBDII Diagnostic Trouble Codes consist of a five-
digit alphanumeric code. The first character, a letter, identifies which
control system sets the code. The other four characters, all numbers, provide
additional information on where the DTC originated and the operating
conditions that caused it to be set.
Below is an example to illustrate the structure of the digits:
Location of the Data Link Connector (DM
The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic scan tools interface with the vehicle’s onboard computer. The DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. If the Data Link Connector is not located under the dashboard, a label should be there revealing its location. For some Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray must be removed to access the connector. If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location.
Using the Code Reader – Connection
CODE RETRIEVAL PROCEDURE
Never replace a part based only on the DTC definition. Each DTC has a set of
testing procedures, instructions and flow charts that must be followed to
confirm the location of the problem. This information is found in the
vehicle’s service manual. Always refer to the vehicle’s service manual for
detailed testing instructions.
check your vehicle thoroughly before performing any test.
ALWAYS observe safety precautions Whenever working on a vehicle. See
Safety Precautions on page 1 for more information.
-
Turn the ignition off.
-
Locate the vehicle’s 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC).
-
Connect the Code Reader’s cable connector to the vehicle’s DLC. The cable connector is keyed and will only fit one way.
■ If you have problems connecting the cable connector to the DLC, rotate the connector 180° and try again. If you still have problems, check the DLC on the vehicle and on the Code Reader. Refer to your vehicle’s service manual to properly check the vehicle’s DLC.
■ After the Code Reader’s test connector is properly connected to the vehicle’s DLC, the screen will turn on to confirm a good power connection. -
Turn the ignition on. DO NOT start the engine.
-
The Code Reader will automatically link to the vehicle’s computer.
■ If the LCD display is blank, it Indicates there is no power at the vehicles’ DLC. Check your fuse panel and replace any burned-out fuses. If replacing the fuse(s) does not correct the problem. see your vehicle’s repair manual to locate the proper computer (PCM) fuse/circuit. Perform any necessary repairs before continuing.
■ After 4-5 seconds, the Code Reader will retrieve and display any Diagnostic Trouble Codes that are in the vehicle’s computer memory.
■ If the connection fails, it means that the Code Reader is unable to communicate with the vehicle’s computer.
Do the following:
– Tum the ignition key off, wait for 5 seconds, and tum the key back on to reset the computer.
– Make sure your vehicle is OBD2 compliant. -
Read and interpret the Diagnostic Trouble Codes using the LCD display.
The Code Reader will display a code only it the codes are present in the
vehicle’s computer memory. If no codes are present, a “Os will be displayed.
If more than one code is present, select the specific code to display the
detected problem.
Visit the manufacturer’s website for Fault Code Definitions. Match the
retrieved DTC(s) with those listed. Read the associated definition(s), and see
the vehicle’s service manual for further evaluation.
ERASING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs)
When the Code Reader’s ERASE function is used to erase the DTCs from the
vehicle’s onboard computer, Freeze Frame data and manufacturer-specific
enhanced data are also erased.
If you plan to take the vehicle to a Service Center for repair, DO NOT erase
the codes from the vehicle’s computer. If the codes are erased, valuable
information that might help the technician troubleshoot the problem will also
be erased.
Erasing DTCs does not fix the problem(s) that caused the code(s) to be set.
If proper repairs to correct the problem that caused the code(s) to be set are
not made, the code(s) will appear again (and the check engine light will
illuminate) as soon as the vehicle is driven long enough for its Monitors to
complete their testing.
Freeze Frame Data
What Is Freeze Frame Data?
In simple words, whenever the computer detects a fault and illuminates the
GEL, it also clicks and stores freeze frame data related to the issue. This
data is essentially a snapshot from a number of components and sensors. You
can view this information to find the cause of the problem. It is also a legal
requirement in some cases to capture and store emission-related information.
This captured data is known as freeze frame data.
Viewing OBD2 Freeze Frame Data
Viewing OBD2 freeze frame data can be complicated for people who do not know
much about OBD scan tools. The information will help you identify why the
engine light is on so you can come up with a solution. The data will tell you
a lot about your vehicle at the time of the error. This includes the condition
of the engine — whether it was warmed up or cold.lt may also give information
regarding the fuel. You can use this data to go in the right direction.
How to Read Freeze Frame Data?
Your vehicle talks to you in a language of its own. You will need to
understand this language to be able to read freeze frame data. You can search
online for specific codes or try the DTC feature.
How can I Clear Freeze Frame Data Using an OBD2 Scan Tool?
The system will automatically remove DTC data once your vehicle completes a
specific number of good trips, i.e: trips without faults. You will also lose
freeze frame data if there is no power supply to the PCM. Also, you can
manually choose to delete this information by going into the system and
deleting the data with the scan tool.
I/M Readiness
What Is UM Readiness?
Signals or codes for emission testing state that all the vehicle’s onboard
emissions diagnostics have been run.
How do I check my WM readiness? To check if the readiness codes are set, turn
the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, without starting the engine. The
MIL will come on for 20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness monitors
are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness monitors are not set.
What are the monitors?
- Misfire Monitor
- Fuel System Monitor
- Comprehensive Component Monitor
- EGR – EGR System Monitor
- Oxygen Sens Mon – Oxygen Sensor Monitor
- Catalyst Mon – Catalyst Monitor
- EVAP System Monitor – Evaporation System monitor
- Oxygen Sens htr – Oxygen Sensor heater Monitor
- Sec Air System – Secondary air monitor
- Htd Catalyst – Heating catalyst monitor
- A C Ref rig Mon – NC system monitor
What are MIL codes?
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or CHECK ENGINE light as it is more
commonly called, is essentially an emission warming light. If the light comes
on, it means the Onboard Diagnostics II system (OBD II) has detected an
emissions-related problem.

FAQ
Is the Scanner Powered by a built-in battery?
No. It doesn’t include any battery inside. It’s powered by the OBD2 port of the vehicle directly. Just plug into the OBD2 port for operation.
Why does the screen not turn on when plug-in?
Check your fuses to see if any have gone bad. A blown-out fuse is one of the usual reasons why an OBD2 port Isn’t communicating. Remember that your car might have more than one fuse box.
If my OBD2 has power but won’t connect, what should I do?
Most OBD2 won’t connect because it has no power. However, if it has power but won’t connect, you may want to check its connection to your entire system. In most cases, it can be a cabling problem, or the OBD2 itself isn’t working. If the problem cannot be solved after reconnection, contact the MOTO POWER customer service for assistance.
Does the obd2 scanner support abs, airbag/SRS, oil codes?
It is able to read and clear check engine information which is part of the OBDII system, but it cannot work with non-OBDII systems, including ABS / Airbag / Oil Service Light, etc.
Why the detected error codes cannot be erased?
When you find the fault codes, please fix the problem before erasing the codes. If the codes are erased without the problem fixed, the engine fault light may turn on again in the future.
Check engine light came on, but after hooking this up, it reads no codes. Why it can’t find them?
1- The scanner is not compatible with the make or model of the car. 2- The vehicle is emitting emissions that are higher than the Environmental Protection Agency mandates. 3- There were codes erased without the problems being fixed. And the ECM was disabled and prevented from storing codes.
