Scan Tool Data List Except Holden

The SIR scan tool data list contains all the restraint system related parameters that are available on the scan tool. The parameters in the list are arranged in alphabetical order. The column, Data List, indicates the location of the parameter within the scan tool menu selections.

Use the SIR scan tool data list as directed by a diagnostic table or in order to supplement the diagnostic procedures. Begin all of the diagnostic procedures with the Diagnostic System Check - SIR. Use the SIR Scan Tool Data List after the following is determined:

    • There is no published diagnostic trouble code (DTC) procedure nor published symptom procedure for the customer concern.
    • The DTC or symptom diagnostic procedure indicated by the diagnostic system check does not resolve the customer concern.

The typical data values are obtained from a properly operating vehicle under the conditions specified in the second row of the scan tool data list table. Comparison of the parameter values from the suspect vehicle with the typical data values may reveal the source of the customer concern.

Scan Tool Data List Holden

The SIR scan tool data list contains all the restraint system related parameters that are available on the scan tool. The parameters in the list are arranged in alphabetical order.

Use the SIR scan tool data list as directed by a diagnostic table or in order to supplement the diagnostic procedures. Begin all of the diagnostic procedures with the Diagnostic System Check - SIR. Use the SIR Scan Tool Data List after the following is determined:

    • There is no published diagnostic trouble code (DTC) procedure nor published symptom procedure for the customer concern.
    • The DTC or symptom diagnostic procedure indicated by the diagnostic system check does not resolve the customer concern.

Scan tool values from a vehicle that is operating correctly may be used for comparison with the vehicle you are diagnosing. The Scan Tool Data List represents the values that would be seen on a normal operating vehicle under the conditions specified in the first row of the Scan Tool Data List table.

Important: Do not use a scan tool that displays faulty data. The scan tool concern should be reported to the manufacturer. Use of a faulty scan tool may result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts replacement.
