1. Safety Precautions and Warnings
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the scan
tool, read this instruction manual first and observe the following
safety precautions at a minimum whenever working on a vehicle:
Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
Wear safety eye protection that meets ANSI standards.
Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc. Away from
all moving or hot engine parts.
Operate the vehicle in a well ventilated work area: Exhaust gases
are poisonous.
Put blocks in front of the drive wheels and never leave the vehicle
unattended while running tests.
Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil,
distributor cap, ignition wires and spark plusg. These components
create hazardous voltages when the engine isrunning.
Put the transmission in PARK ( for automatic transmission ) or
NEUTRAL (for manual transmission) and make sure the parking
brake is engaged.
Keep a fire extinguisher suitable for gasoline/chemical/electrical
fires nearby.
Don,t connect or disconnect any test equipment while the
ignition is on or the engine is running.
Keep the scan tool dry, clean, free from oil/water or grease. Use
a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the scan
tool, when necessary.

2. General Information
2.1 On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) II
2.2 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes are codes that are stored by the on-
board 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. OBD II Diagnostic Trouble Codes consist
of a five-digit alphanumeric code. The first character, a letter,
identfies 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 set.
Here below is an example to illustrate the structure of the digits:
1) Whether the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is
commanded on or off ;
2) Which, if any, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are stored;
3) Readiness Monitor status.
The first generation of On-Board Diagnostics (called OBD I) was
developed by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) and
implemented in 1988 to monitor some of the emission control
components on vehicles. As technology evolved and the desire to
improve the On-Board Diagnostic system increased, a new generation
of On-Board Diagnostic system was developed. This second generation
of On-Board Diagnostic regulations is called OBD II
The OBD II system is designed to monitor emission control systems
and key engine components by performing either continuous or
peridic 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 of 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:

8= Transmission Controls
2.3 Location of the Data Link Connector (DLC)
The DLC (Data Link Connector or Diagnostic Link Connector) is the
standardized 16-cavity connector where diagnostic scan tools
interface with the vehicle,s on-board 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 Data Link
Connector is not located under dashboard, a label should be there
telling 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.

2.4 OBD II Readiness Monitors
An important part of a vehicle,s OBD II system is the Readiness
Monitors, which are indicators used to find out if all of the emissions
components have been evaluated by the OBD II system. They are
running periodic tests on specific systems and components to ensure
that they are performing within allowable limits.
Currently, there are eleven OBD II Readiness Monitors (or I/M
Monitors) defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). Not all monitors are supported by all vehicles and the exact
number of monitors in any vehicle depends on the motor vebicle
manufacturer,s emissions control strategy.
-- Some of the vehicle components or systems
are continuously tested by the vehicle,s OBD II system, while others
are tested only under specific vehicle operating conditions. The
continuously monitored components listed below are always ready:
Continuous Monitors
Once the vehicle is running, the OBD II system is continuously
checking the above components, monitoring key engine sensors,
watching for engine misfire, and monitoring fuel demands.
-- Unlike the continuous monitors, many
emissions and engine system components require the vehicle to be
operated under specific conditions before the monitor is ready. These
monitors are termed non-continuous monitors and are listed below:
Non-Continuous Monitors
1) EGR System
1) Misfire
2) Fuel System
3) Comprehensive Components (CCM)
2) O2 Sensors
3) Catalyst
4) Evaporative System
5) O2 Sensor Heater
6) Secondary air
7) Heated Catalyst
8) A/C system
2.5 OBD II Monitor Readiness Status
OBD II systems must indicate whether or not the vehicle,sPCM
,s
monitor system has completed testing on each component.
Components that have been tested will be reported as Ready , or
Complete , meaning they have been tested by the OBD II system.
The purpose of recording readiness status is to allow inspectors to
determine if the vehicle,s OBD II system has tested all the
components and/or systems.
The powertrain control module (PCM) sets a monitor to Reade or
Complete after an appropriate drive cycle has been performed. The
drive cycle that enables a monitor and sets readiness codes to
Ready varies for each individual monitor. Once a monitor is set as
Ready or Complete , it will remain in this state. A number of
factors, including erasing of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) with a
scan tool or a disconnected battery, can result in Readiness Monitors
being set to Not Ready . Since the three continuous monitors are
constantly evaluating,they will be reported as Ready all of the time.
If testing of a particular supported non-continuous monitor has not
been completed, the monitor status will be reported as Not
Complete or Not Ready .
In order for the OBD monitor system to become ready, the vehicle
should be driven under a variety of normal operating conditions.
These operating conditions may include a mix of highway driving and
stop and go, city type driving, and at least one overnight-off period.
For specific information on getting your vehicle,s OBD monitor
system ready, please consult your vehicle owner,s manual.

-- OBD II terminology for the
on-board compute that controls engine and drive train.
-- Malfunction Indicator Light
(Service Engine Soon, Check Engine) is a term used for the light on
the instrument panel. It is t o alert the driver and/or the repair
technician that there is a problem with one or more of vehicle,s
systems and may cause emissions to exceed federal standards. If the
MIL illuminates with a steady light, it indicates that a problem has
been detected and the vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible.
Under certain conditions, the dashboard light will blink or flash. This
indicates a severe problem and flashing is intended to discourage
vehicle operation. The vehicle onboard diagnostic system can not turn
the MIL off until the necessary repairs are completed or the condition
no longer exists.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) that identify which section
of the emission control system has malfunctioned.
Also termed Enabling Conditions. They are the
vehicle-spcific events or conditions that must occur within the
engine before the various monitors will set, or run. Some monitors
require the vehicle to follow a prescribed drive cycle routine as part
of the enabling criteria. Drive cycles vary among vehicles and for
each monitor in any particular vehicle.
specific mode of vehicle operation that
provides conditions required to set all the readiness monitors
applicable to the vehicle to the ready condition. The purpose of
completing an OBD II drive cycle is to force the vehicle to run its
onboard diagnostics. Some form of a drive cycle needs to be
performed after DTCs have been erased from the PCM,s memory or
after the battery has been disconnected. Running through a vehicle,s
complete drive cycle will set the readiness monitors so that future
faults can be detected. Drive cycles vary depending on the vehicle
and the monitor that needs to be reset. For vehicle specific drive cycle,
consult the vehicle,s Owner,s Manual.
-- When an emissions related fault occurs, the
OBD II system not only sets a code but also records a snapshot of the
vehicle operating parameters to help in identifying the problem. This
set of values is referred to as Freeze Frame Data and may include
important engine parameters such as engine RPM, vehicle speed, air
flow, engine load, fuel pressure, fuel trim value, engine coolant
temperature, ignition timing advance, or closed loop status.

3.9 Vehicle Coverage
A small number of 1994 and 1995 model year gasoline vehicles are
OBD II compliant. To verify if a 1994 or 1995 vehicle is OBD II
compliant, check the Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI)
Label which is located under the hood or by the radiator of most
vehicles. If the vehicle is OBD II compliant, the label will designate
OBD II Certified . Additionally, Government regulations mandate
that all OBD II compliant vehicles must bave a common sixteen-pin
Data Link Connector (DLC).
For your vehicle to be OBD II compliant it must have a 16-pin DLC
(Data Link Connector) under the dash and the Vehicle Emission
Control Information Label must state that the vehicle is OBD II
compliant.
3.10 Product Troubleshooting
Vehicle Linking Error
A communication error occurs if the scan tool fails to communicate
with the vehicle,s ECU (Engine Control Unit). You need to do the
following to check up:
Verify that the ignition is ON;
Check if the scan tool ,s OBD II connector is securely connected
to the vehicle,sDLC;
Verify that the vehicle is OBD2 compliant;
Tutn the ignition off and wait for about 10 seconds. Turn the
ignition back to in and continue the testing.
Verify the control module is not defective
The OES5 Scanner is specially designed to work with all OBD II
compliant vehicles, including those equipped with the next generation
protocol -- Control Area Network (CAN). It is required by EPA
that all 1996 and newer vehicles ( cars and light trucks ) sold in
the United States must be OBD II compliant and this includes all
Domestic, Asian and European vehicles.

volts.
4. OBD II Diagnostics
4.1 Reading Codes
When more than one vehicle control module is detected by the
scan tool, you will be prompted to select the module where the
data may be retrieved. The most often to be selected are the
Powertrain Control Module [PCM] and Transmission Control
Module [TCM].
CAUTION: Don,tconnenct or disconnect any test equipment with

Diagnostics
Reading Codes can be done with the key on engine off (KOEO) or
with the key on engine running (KOER).
Stored Codes are also known as hard codes or permanent
codes . These codes cause the control module to illuminate the
malfunction indicator lamp ( MIL ) when emission-related fault
occurs.
Pending Codes are also referred to as maturing codes or
continuous monitor codes . They indicate problems that the
control module has detected during the current or last driving
cycle but are not considered serious yet. Pending Codes will not
turn on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). If the fault does not
occur within a certain number of warm-up cycles, the code clears
from memory.

4.5 Retrieving I/M Readiness Status
I/M Readiness function is used to check the operations of the
Emission System on OBD2 compliant vehicles. It is an excellent
function to use prior to having a vehicle inspected for compliance
to a state emissions program.
An I/M Readiness Status result of NO does not necessarily
indicate that the vhicle being tested will fail the state I/M
inspection. For some states, one or more such monitors may
be allowed to be Not Ready to pass the emissions inspection.
If there is no freeze frame data available, an advisory message
shows on the display.
4) Press the button to return to theN Diagnostic Menu.
Some latest vehicle models may support two types of I/M
Readiness tests:
A. - indicates status of the monitors since the
DTCs are erased.
B indicates status of monitors since the
beginning of the current drive cycle.

4.6 O2 Monitor Test
OBD2 regulations set by SAE require that relevant vehicles
monitor and test the oxygen (O2) sensors to identify problems
related to fuel efficiency and vehicle emissions.These tests are not
on-demand tests and they are done automatically when engine
operating conditions are within specified limits. These test results
are saved in the on-board computer,s memory.
The O2 Monitor Test function is not supported by vehicles which
communicate using a controller area netwotk (CAN). For O2
Monitor Test results of CAN-equipped vehicles, see chapter On-
Board Mon. Test .
The O2 Monitor Test function allows retrieval and viewing of O2
sensor monitor test results for the most recently performed tests
from the vehicle,son-boardcomputer.

4.7 On-Board Monitor Test
The On-Board Monitor Test is useful after servicing or after
erasing a vehicle,s control module memory. The On-Board
Monitor Test for non-CAN-equipped vehicles retrieves and
displays test results for emission-related powertrain components
and systems that are not continuously monitored. The On-Board
Monitor Test for CAN-equipped vehicles retrieves and displays
test results for emission-related powertrain components and
systems that are and are not continuously monitored. Test and
components IDs are determined by the vehicle manufacturer.

The Component Test function allows initiating a leak test for the
vehicle,s EV AP system. The Scan Tool itself does not perform the
leak test, but commands the vehicle,s on-board computer to start
the test. Different vehicle manufacturers might have different
criteria and methods for stopping the test once it has been started.
Before starting the Component Test, refer to the vehicle service
manual for instructions to stop the test.
