2. Referring to the NGS instruction manual, select the "PID DATA MONITOR AND RECORD" and press TRIGGER.

NOTE: The "PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD" function is to monitor the calculation value of input/output signals in the PCM.

If normal output signal cannot be detected when all input signals are normal, replace the PCM.

3. Press CLEAR to clear previously select items. (A list of item descriptions appears on the screen.)
4. Select items necessary and press START.
