Scan Tool Diagnostics - Inputs

The scan tool also displays the instrument cluster input status. Select the cluster inputs display in order to display the data and determine if the switched inputs can be properly interpreted. The display also indicates if the input has changed states. For example, when a trip reset switch is not pressed, the scan tool displays the input status of the trip reset switch as INACTIVE. When the trip reset switch is pressed, the scan tool reads ACTIVE. Use this kind of information when diagnosing a malfunction associated with a the instrument cluster input or an input that is shared with another system.
