Real Time Diagnosis In Data Monitor Mode

REAL TIME DIAGNOSIS IN DATA MONITOR MODE (Recording vehicle data)
CONSULT has two kinds of triggers 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, DTC/1st trip DTC and malfunction item will be displayed at the moment the malfunction is detected by ECM.
DATA MONITOR can be performed continuously until a malfunction is detected. However, DATA MONITOR cannot continue any longer after the malfunction detection.
2. "MANU TRIG" (Manual trigger):
- DTC/1st trip 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.




Use these triggers as follows:
1. "AUTO TRIG"
- While trying to detect the DTC/1st trip DTC by performing the "DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE", be sure to select 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 CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE", the moment a malfunction is found the DTC/1st trip DTC will be displayed. (Refer to "Incident Simulation Tests" in "HOW TO
PERFORM EFFICIENT DIAGNOSIS FOR AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT".)
2. "MANU TRIG"
- If the malfunction is displayed as soon as "DATA MONITOR" is selected, reset CONSULT to "MANU TRIG". 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 for the normal operating condition.
