Vehicle Identification / System Selection
The motorcycle must be correctly identified for the diagnostic tool to communicate, and display data correctly. Menus and navigation will vary by make and model.
Depending on the motorcycle, the identification process may require manual entry of the motorcycle information, or it may be automated. The following Scanner functions are available to identify the motorcycle:
Auto ID - Automatically completes the identification process after the motorcycle make and year are manually entered.
Manual ID - Allows for manual entry of all required motorcycle identification criteria.
The following procedure applies to most motorcycles, and may vary depending on the motorcycle. Not all motorcycles support the Auto ID feature.
| 1. | Select Scanner from the Home screen. |
| 2. | Follow the prompts to identify the motorcycle (e.g. make, year, model). |
A menu option may be displayed to choose either Automatic ID or Manual ID.
| ● | Selecting Automatic ID (If supported) will briefly display a communications screen informing you that the diagnostic tool is attempting to establish communication and determine vehicle identification. Once the vehicle has been identified, the vehicle confirmation screen displays. If the vehicle information is correct, select OK to continue, then proceed to step 3. If the vehicle does not support Auto ID, the diagnostic tool will attempt to identify the vehicle and then display a message indicating that vehicle identification cannot be made. If this occurs, proceed to “Selecting Manual ID” next. |
| ● | Selecting Manual ID allows you to manually enter all the vehicle information to identify the vehicle. Follow the screen prompts to enter all the information required to identify the vehicle. Once the vehicle has been identified, the vehicle confirmation screen displays. If the vehicle information is correct, select OK to continue, then proceed to step 3. |
Confirmation screen
After the motorcycle is identified, prompts will indicate to turn the motorcycle ignition on and connect the data cable.
Depending on the motorcycle, a menu option to select a system list display type may be provided.
Some motorcycles may support a “Fitted Systems” display type. In this situation a menu option is provided to display the fitted systems or all systems. Selecting Fitted Systems will only display systems that the diagnostic tool is communicating with. Selecting All Systems will display every system possibly supported.
| 3. | A menu of available systems and/or options is displayed. Select a system or option to continue. |
By default, System options are displayed by category (e.g. Audio/Video, Body Controls, Instruments, etc.). In this mode commonly used selections are at the top of the list.
Depending on your preference, select the icon (arrow in figure) to toggle the display between a categorized and non-categorized list.
When a system (e.g. Engine, Antilock Brakes, etc) is selected, the diagnostic tool will attempt to establish communication with that motorcycle system, then (once connected) will display that system’s main menu.
