Real Time Diagnosis In Data Monitor Mode

NOTE: Any monitored item that does not match the vehicle being diagnosed is deleted from the display automatically.




REAL TIME DIAGNOSIS IN DATA MONITOR MODE
CONSULT has two kinds of trigger and they can be selected by touching "SETTING" in "DATA MONITOR" mode.

1. "AUTO TRIG" (Automatic trigger):
- The malfunction will be identified on the CONSULT screen in real time. In other words, Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and malfunction item will be displayed automatically at the moment the malfunction is detected by Engine Control Module (ECM). DATA MONITOR can be performed continuously till a malfunction is detected. However, DATA MONITOR can not be continued any longer after the malfunction detection.

2. "MANU TRIG" (Manual trigger):
- DTC and malfunction item will not be displayed automatically on CONSULT screen even though a malfunction is detected by ECM. DATA MONITOR can be performed continuously even though a malfunction is detected.

Utilize each trigger as follows:
1. "AUTO TRIG"
- While trying to detect the DTC by performing the "DTC DETECTING CONDITION", be sure to set to "DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG)" mode. You can confirm the malfunction at the moment it is detected.

- While narrowing down the possible causes, CONSULT should be set in "DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG)" mode, especially in case the incident is intermittent. When you are inspecting the circuit by gently shaking (or twisting) the suspicious connectors, components and harness in the "DTC DETECTING CONDITION", the moment a malfunction is found the DTC will be displayed.

2. "MANU TRIG"
- In case the malfunction is displayed whenever you look at the "DATA MONITOR" screen, it is inconvenient for you to monitor (investigate) the data of the suspicious parts. In such cases, by selecting "MANU TRIG" you can monitor and store the data. The data can be utilized for further diagnosis such as a comparison with the value in the normal operating condition.
