Unpacking the Power of the AutoEnginuity Scan Tool ST06: Key Features
The Generic CAN version of the AutoEnginuity Scan Tool ST06 is packed with features designed to streamline the diagnostic process and provide actionable insights into vehicle health. Here’s a detailed look at its core functionalities:
Real-Time Data Monitoring with Mode 1: Live Parameter Data
Mode 1 functionality transforms your PC into a dynamic dashboard, displaying live vehicle sensor data in your preferred format – meter, graph, or grid. The AutoEnginuity Scan Tool ST06 allows for unlimited data logging of these live sensor readings in TXT, XML, or CSV formats with millisecond accuracy (1ms logging). This extensive logging capability is invaluable for capturing intermittent issues and conducting in-depth performance analysis. Users can then playback recorded data logs for offline review, allowing for meticulous examination without being tethered to the vehicle. The software supports both English and Metric (SI) units, catering to diverse user preferences. Furthermore, the AutoEnginuity Scan Tool ST06 offers extensive customization options, enabling users to configure sensor ranges, scaling values, audible alerts, units, and sampling rates. With support for an expanded sensor list (over 230 sensors, compliant with SAE J1979 May 2007 additions), this tool ensures access to the latest sensor data available from modern vehicles. The record feature further enhances workflow, facilitating efficient data logging for export and subsequent playback analysis.
Freeze Frame Data Analysis with Mode 2
Mode 2 provides critical insight into vehicle conditions at the moment a fault code is triggered. The AutoEnginuity Scan Tool ST06 allows users to effortlessly read and clear Freeze Frame data, providing a snapshot of sensor values and system statuses precisely when an issue occurs. This feature is crucial for understanding the conditions leading to diagnostic trouble codes.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Trouble Code Retrieval (DTC) with Modes 3 – 7
Modes 3 through 7 of the AutoEnginuity Scan Tool ST06 deliver powerful diagnostic trouble code (DTC) management. This tool goes beyond generic OBD-II codes, allowing users to view both generic and manufacturer-enhanced data within the same interface. Users can save, print, read, and clear stored and pending P, U, B, and C trouble codes, encompassing the full spectrum of diagnostic codes from P0 to P9, including lettered codes (e.g., P06A0). The AutoEnginuity Scan Tool ST06 boasts a vast manufacturer-specific trouble code library containing over 30,000 entries, ensuring comprehensive code interpretation. The tool can also actively scan the vehicle for diagnostic trouble code changes in user-defined intervals (defaulting to five minutes), providing continuous monitoring capabilities.
Emission System Reset and Monitoring with Modes 4, 5 & 6
Mode 4 provides the essential function of clearing emission-related information, allowing users to clear the Check Engine Light or Service Engine Soon indicator and reset the status of system monitoring tests. Mode 5 focuses on O2 sensor monitoring, enabling users to view O2 sensor test results, with zoom functionality for comparing against “known good” presets. The AutoEnginuity Scan Tool ST06 supports wide-band O2 sensors and facilitates clearing oxygen sensor test data and resetting fuel trim values. Live O2 sensor data and test results are also readily accessible. Mode 6 delves into On-Board Monitoring Test Results, fully translating Mode 6 data and scaling test results to manufacturer specifications. This level of detail allows users to pinpoint failing components within a system, moving beyond simple system failure indications. Users can run and query specific component and system tests, with support for both generic and enhanced bi-directional tests. All 11 Inspection/Maintenance systems and Mode 6 data are accessible, and the tool automatically scans for changes in continuous and non-continuous onboard system test results, again at user-defined intervals. Comprehensive reports containing IM, Mode 6, and DTC information can be saved for offline analysis and printing.
Bi-Directional Control and System Testing with Mode 8
Mode 8 unlocks bi-directional control capabilities, allowing users to actively request control of onboard systems and components. The AutoEnginuity Scan Tool ST06 provides the ability to initiate system and component tests directly, crucial for verifying component functionality and system responses during diagnostic procedures.
Vehicle Identification and Calibration Verification with Mode 9
Mode 9 focuses on essential vehicle information, providing VIN reporting, CAL/CVN (Calibration Verification Number), and In-Performance Tracking. The AutoEnginuity Scan Tool ST06 delivers full ECM (Engine Control Module) information, including CAL, CVN, and VIN. It displays ECM IDs, Calibration IDs, and Calibration Verification IDs from all reporting ECMs. In-Performance Tracking monitors the frequency with which component tests meet conditions suitable for execution and completion, providing valuable insights into system testing behavior.
