4 CodeConnect® Feature
CodeConnect® is an experience-based database derived from millions of
phone calls from technicians seeking assistance diagnosing repair prob-
lems on their vehicles. CodeConnect® brings the technology of profes-
sional technicians to a DIY scan tool. Don’t waste time trying to find the
answer. With the information CodeConnect® offers, it takes vehicle repairs
to the next level. Since you now know the most probable fix for your prob-
lem, you can decide if you want to tackle the repair yourself, or bring the
vehicle to a local automotive repair facility.
IMPORTANT: For CodeConnect® to work, you must select your specific
vehicle during vehicle selection. A Global OBD II vehicle selection will
not provide any CodeConnect® information. The power of CodeConnect®
is that repair information is vehicle and trouble code specific and is
based on the largest experience-based database available.
CodeConnect® information is available whenever the icon is visible
on the display. The CodeConnect® icon has the potential of being dis-
played while trouble codes are being displayed from Read Codes or while
Viewing Freeze Frame data. Also, when you print codes to your PC, the
CodeConnect® information, if available, will also be printed.
• CodeConnect® information is currently only available in English, so if
your tool is set to Spanish or French, don’t be alarmed if your DTC text is
in one language and your CodeConnect® information is shown in English.

How to use CodeConnect®:
1. When the icon is shown on
the display, press the key.
2. Scroll through the code-specific
repair information.
• Use UP or DOWN arrow
keys to scroll one line at a time.
• Use LEFT or RIGHT arrow
keys to scroll one screen at a

5 Code Criteria
The Code Criteria feature will detail the conditions required for a DTC to
be set by the vehicle. The vehicle is constantly running self-tests on its
systems. Code Criteria will describe the conditions under which the vehi-
cle can initiate the test. These are called “Enable” criterion. Code Criteria
will also describe the the conditions that will cause a DTC to set. These
are called “Failure” criterion. Code Criteria is not available for every DTC.
Code Criteria is currently only available in English, so if your tool is set to
Spanish or French, don’t be alarmed if your DTC text is in one language
and your Code Criteria information is shown in English.
How to use Code Criteria:
1. When the icon is shown on the
display, press the key.
2. Scroll through the Code Criteria
information noting. If a vehicle has
multiple sets of criteria for the DTC,
a menu is displayed, so that the
tool can provide the most accurate
criteria for your specific vehicle.
3. Use the UP or DOWN arrow
keys to scroll one line at a time.
4. Use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow
keys to scroll a whole screen at a time.
• To return to the DTC definition
