Select a Signal Set
A signal set is simply the name of the computer that is on a particular vehicle that
you wish to connect to using the Scan Tool. Depending on the vehicle, and the
capabilities of the Scan Tool, the list of connection options can be extensive.
Acronyms are
commonly found here
in the “Select Signal
Set” list. They are
used to describe
different computer
modules on a vehicle.
Acronyms such as
PCM (Powertrain
Control Module),
ECM (Engine Control
Module), ABS (AntiLock Brake System),
RWAL (Rear-Wheel
Anti-Lock), SRS
(Supplemental
Restraint System), SIR
(Supplemental
Inflatable Restraint),
SDM (Sensing
Diagnostic Module)
and TCM
(Transmission Control
Module) are he most
common, since these
systems are highest
priority.
After selecting the module to
connect with on the vehicle,
click the ‘OK’ button.
Those with acronyms such as MSM (Memory Seat Module), IPC (Instrument

- Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Button
This screen displays the statuses of the Inspection and Maintenance Monitors. These monitors
determine vehicle readiness when scanning for emissions-related issues on an OBD-II vehicle. It is
important to know that clearing DTC’s also resets the readiness statuses of these monitors. This will
require that the vehicle be driven to complete these monitors. The procedure to restore these individual
monitors is called a Drive Cycle. Drive Cycles are manufacturer-specific, and require unique vehicle
conditions in order to run correctly.
The
individual
monitor
results are
displayed by
an icon in the
left column,
and a status
message in
the right
column. If a
‘Not
Completed’
message is
displayed,
then the
monitor must
be run
through it’s
Drive Cycle.
Vehicle-Specific OBD-II Information is displayed in these windows. The OBD
Support level helps determine which version of OBD-II software the vehicle uses. The
‘Fuel System Statuses’ windows show whether or not the fuel system is using the
Oxygen Sensors as feedback for fuel control. (Closed or Open Loop)
04/04/2014
17
- Mode $06 Button
Mode $06 provides access to the specific test results of continuously-run and noncontinuously run OBD-II monitors, not just the monitor’s test statuses. Mode $06
information requests are often most useful for tracking the misfire patterns on certain
manufacturer vehicles. By definition, Mode $06 data is for tracking ‘Specific Monitored
Systems’, such as the misfire monitor, and component monitor. These tests are broken down
into 2 parts. They are TID (Test ID) and CID (Component ID) Each manufacturer-specific
TID will be composed of several specific CID’s.
To run a Mode $06
test, simply click on
the ‘Mode $06’
button on the
toolbar. This will
start a Generic scan
for Mode $06 data.
To access
manufacturer-specific
Mode $06
information, click on
the manufacturer of
the vehicle under
test, and click on the
‘Rescan’ button to

04/04/2014
18
- Snapshot Button
The ‘Snapshot’ button provides access to DTC Freeze Frame data as well as
customizable, user-defined Freeze Frame data ‘Snapshots’. Each time a DTC is set,
there is specific data that is also stored to help diagnose when and why the DTC
occurred. EASE has taken this concept one step further by allowing the Scan Tool
user to create their own data ‘Snapshot’ groups, and capture them as often as
necessary.
If snapshots have been
taken, view the individual
information
corresponding to each
snapshot by choosing the
buttons found here.

- Periodic Data Rate (WARP: GM OBD-2
Only) Button
The button shown above is only available in the GM-OBD2 Program. This
feature is only available on OBD-II General Motors Vehicles. What this button
does is switch on and off the High-Speed sampling rate of the EASE Scan
Tool, on GM vehicles. With this feature enabled, parameter sample speeds of
up to 40 samples per second can occur! This is quite respectable,
since average response time for normal OBD-II data from a vehicle is
approx. 10 samples per second. WARP can also be set to sample at 20 and 10
samples per second. 40 samples per second is very useful when fine-tuning
performance vehicles. Also, it is important to know that not all 1996
General Motors vehicles can utilize this feature.
04/04/2014
29
- Mode $09 Button
Mode $09 is used to retrieve vehicle information. Among others, the following information
is available:
• VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): Vehicle ID
• CALID (Calibration Identification): ID for the software installed on the ECU
• CVN (Calibration Verification Number): Number used to verify the integrity of the
vehicle software. The manufacturer is responsible for determining the method of
calculating CVN(s), e.g. using checksum.
• In-use performance counters
o Gasoline engine : Catalyst, Primary oxygen sensor, Evaporating system, EGR
system, VVT system, Secondary air system, and Secondary oxygen sensor
o Diesel engine : NMHC catalyst, NOx reduction catalyst, NOx adsborber
Particulate matter filter, Exhaust gas sensor, EGR system, VVT system,
Boost pressure control, Fuel system.
