ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)(H4DOTC DIESEL) > General Scan Tool
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
(5) MODE $07: Request on-board monitoring test results for continuously monitored systems
(6) MODE $09: Request vehicle information
Read out the data according to repair procedures. (For detailed operation procedure, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.)
NOTE:
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.

NOTE:
Refer to general scan tool manufacturer’s operation manual to access freeze frame data (MODE $02).
4. MODE $03 (EMISSION-RELATED POWERTRAIN DTC)
Refer to “List of 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.
NOTE:
Refer to general scan tool manufacturer’s instruction manual to clear the emission-related diagnostic information (MODE $04).
Refer to the data of DTC (pending code) for troubleshooting result about emission in the first time.
Refer to the data of vehicle specification (V.I.N., calibration ID, etc.).
