The vehicle record includes vehicle ID information, DTC data, and other data entry fields for owner and vehicle information, and technician notes. Depending on the vehicle information that was used to identify the vehicle, some data may be already entered. The example below shows, DTC scan results from the last code scan performed, and an attachment “Vehicle System Report Data Folder” PDF file.
Vehicle ID information is captured slightly different across the different functions (e.g. Scanner, Guided Component Tests, etc.), as some functions may capture more/less information during the process. Selecting the Other Vehicle ID button, opens a listing of the captured vehicle ID fields from each applicable function. If more than one function was used to ID the vehicle, you are given the option to use that vehicle ID set as the default ID for the vehicle record.
The attachments panel lists all saved Code Scans, screenshots and camera images associated with the vehicle that was active at the time they were created. Double-click on the file to open it. All of these attachments are also uploaded to the Snap-on Cloud automatically when they are created.
