Safety Definitions
Follow all DANGER, WARNING, andIMPORTANT
messages. These safety messages are defined as
follows:
DANGER or WARNING: Risk of bodily harm
and/or possible loss of life.
IMPORTANT: The information demands special
attention or risks damage to the vehicle or tool.
The safety messages cover situations of
which Bosch Automotive Service Solutions is
aware. Bosch Automotive Service Solutions
cannot know, evaluate, or advise as to all of
the possible hazards. You must be certain
that any conditions or service procedures
encountered do not jeopardize personal
safety.
Safety Precautions
DANGER:When an engine is operating, keep
the service area well ventilated or attach
a building exhaust removal system to the
engine exhaust system. Engines produce
carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas
that causes slower reaction time and can lead
to serious personal injury or loss of life.
WARNING: When working with hydraulic
or fuel lines, be careful that liquids under
pressure do not escape and create a
dangerous condition. Use adequate
ventilation and make sure there are no sparks
or possibility of sparks that may ignite any
vapor.
Wear an American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) approved eye shield when
testing or repairing vehicles.
Objects propelled by whirling engine
components or pressurized liquids escaping
may cause personal injury.
Set the parking brake and block the wheels
before testing or repairing a vehicle. It is
especially important to block the wheels
on front-wheel drive vehicles because the
parking brake does not hold the drive
wheels.
Do not drive the vehicle and operate the
software at the same time.
Maintain adequate clearance around moving
components or belts during testing.
Moving components and belts can catch
loose clothing, body parts, or test equipment
and cause serious damage or personal injury.
Automotive batteries contain sulfuric acid
and produce explosive gases that can result
in serious injury ignition of gases, keep lit
cigarettes, sparks, flames, and other ignition
sources away from the battery at all times.
Refer to the service manual for the vehicle
being serviced. Adhere to all diagnostic
procedures and precautions Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or otherwise
unneeded repairs.
Use only specially designed replacement
parts (brake hoses and lines) for ABS
equipped vehicles.
After bleeding the brake system, check
the brake pedal for excessive travel or a
spongy feel. Bleed again if either condition is
present.
When installing transmitting devices (Citizen
Band radio, telephone, etc) on ABS-equipped
vehicles, do not locate the antenna near the
ABS control unit or any other control unit.
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates and radiates radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
To reduce risk of injury, charge only Bosch
Automotive Service Solutions rechargeable
batteries for the handset product with the
supplied charger. Other types of batteries
may burst causing injury to persons and
peoperty damage.

User Manual | Mitchell Diagnostics | Scan Tool | 3 | en
©Mitchell International, Inc. 581624 | REV. B | 06.2017 | APDMD032018
Use of an attachment not recommended or
sold by the battery charger manufacturer
may result in fire, electric shock, or personal
injury.
Do not operate the tool with a damaged
cord or connector. Replace damaged cords
and connectors immediately.
Do not operate the charger if it has received
a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way. Take the charger to a
qualified service person.
Do not disassemble the charger. Take the
charger to a qualified service person if service
or repair is necessary. Incorrect reassembly
may result in electric shock or fire. Unplug
charger before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning. Turning o controls will not
reduce this risk.
To prevent possible hearing damage, avoid
using the tool at high volume levels for long
periods.
Do not expose tool or charger to rain,
moisture, or snow.
Verify that cords are located where they will
not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
become a safety hazard or subjected to
damage or stress.
Use only batteries that are approved for
use with this tool. Use of other types may
increase the risk of fire or explosion.
Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse,
or other container where metal objects (such
as car keys or paper clips) could short-circuit
the battery terminals. The resulting excessive
current flow can cause extremely high
temperatures and may result in damage to
the battery pack or cause fire or burns.
The battery poses a burn hazard if you
handle it improperly. Do not disassemble it.
Handle a damaged or leaking battery with
extreme care. If the battery is damaged,
electrolyte may leak from the cells and may
cause personal injury.
Keep the battery away from children.
Do not store or leave your tool or battery
near a heat source such as a radiator,
fireplace, stove, electric heater, or other heat-
generating appliance or otherwise expose it
to temperatures in excess of 140 ºF (60ºC).
When heated to excessive temperatures,
battery cells could explode or vent, posing a
risk of fire.
Do not dispose of your tool’s battery in a fire
or with normal household waste. Battery
cells may explode. Discard a used battery
according to the manufacturer’s instructions
or contact your local waste disposal agency
for disposal instructions. Dispose of a spent
or damaged battery promptly.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage or generation
of false data, make sure the vehicle battery
is fully charged and the connection to the
vehicle Data Link Connector (DLC) is clean
and secure.
Do not place the tool on the distributor of a
vehicle. Strong electromagnetic interference
can damage the tool.
Never disconnect or reconnect any
electrical connector while the ignition is on.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) damage
may result.

The handset comes with the diagnostic software
pre-loaded.
The first time the handset is powered up, the user
needs to accept the license agreement. Then, the
user will have three choices:
• Register Now: Unlocks all functions of handset.
• Trial mode: Unlocks all functions for 30 days.
• Demo Mode: Displays what functions may look
like.
Periodically, updates will become available and the user
will be notified by an icon on the screen. To update the
handset, there must be Wi-Fi connection available.
Software Applications

a wide variety of vehicles (from electric to heavy
duty vehicles). Users are able to perform common
service procedures, maintenance tests, and special
tests to find deficiencies with vehicle systems or
components.
The handset will display DTCs from OBDI or OBDII
systems. Real-time sensor data can be viewed in data
stream mode. The user can also obtain diagnostic
information regarding repairs.
Browser mode allows the user to connect to the
internet to find websites that may help with the
repair of the vehicle. The handset comes with
wireless communication for ease of use and on-
screen help when desired.

OBDII
Overview
OBDII (also referred to as Generic OBDII) provides
limited engine control and monitors the diagnostic
control network of the vehicle. When a fault in the
control network occurs, a DTC is recorded in the
vehicle computer. This system is not vehicle specific
so it is NOT necessary to select the vehicle to run a
generic test.
NOTE: Enhanced OBDII may be selected from the Diagnostics menu
with a vehicle loaded for more specific Mode 6 test information.

Readiness Monitors
Mode 1 displays available monitor information.
The OBDII system has a series of systems that run
self-tests. These systems or components have to be
made ready by either turning on the ignition or
manipulating the system in some other manner. This
is called drive cycle.
Each system requires specific vehicle drive cycle and
operating requirements to take place before the
monitor self-check will run. OBDII systems require
one monitor for current systems, or two monitors for
older systems, are ready before testing can begin.
If the system is ready, no further action is required.
If the system is not ready, a drive cycle may need to
be performed for that system.
Use the following procedure to verify the system is
ready to be monitored.
