Freeze Frame Data; Vin; Troubleshooting - OTC PocketScan 3108N Manual Del Usuario

This is a complete list of I/M Monitors supported by the Tool. The number
of Monitors read by the Tool from your vehicle may vary. A diesel vehicle,
for example, does not have an Oxygen Sensor Monitor. As a result,
there will be no Oxygen Sensor Monitor status for a diesel vehicle.

Freeze Frame Data

Displays a snapshot of operating conditions at the time the Diagnostic
Trouble Code was created. For a list of Parameter IDs (PID) supported
by the tool, see "PID Definitions" on page 11.

VIN

The VIN (Vehicle Indentification Number) function allows the Tool to
request the VIN. The VIN is the factory-assigned vehicle serial number.
This function is available on model year 2000 and newer vehicles.
The VIN is located on top of the dashboard on the driver's side, vis-
ible from outside the car. The VIN includes information about the car,
including where it was built, body and engine codes, options, and a
sequential build number.
The vehicle computer module uses the VIN number to determine which
Diagnostic Codes to use. To ensure that the Tool is providing the most
complete information for your vehicle, confirm that the VIN reported
by the vehicle computer module matches the VIN of the vehicle being
tested. The numbers should be the same unless the computer module
had been swapped out.
NOTICE
The VIN function is not supported by all vehicles.
