• Deisealachd I / M: This function checks the status of the vehicle's emission-related monitoring systems. It indicates whether various monitors (e.g., misfire monitor, fuel system monitor, O2 sensor monitor, EVAP system monitor) have completed their diagnostic cycles. This is crucial for annual smog checks.
• Vehicle Information (VIN, Cal ID, CVN): Retrieve the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Calibration ID (Cal ID), and Calibration Verification Numbers (CVN) from the vehicle's ECU. This is useful for verifying vehicle details.
• Sruth Dàta Beò: View real-time operational parameters of the vehicle, such as engine RPM, vehicle speed, coolant temperature, and fuel system status. This data can help diagnose intermittent problems.
