PID/Data Monitor & Record

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercury Monterey and 2004 Ford Freestar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

PID/Data Monitor and Record option allows technician to read the state of several Parameter IDs (PIDs) to aid in diagnosing the system. To retrieve PIDs, connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC), located under left side of instrument panel, and follow scan tool manufacturer"s instructions. PIDs are updated continuously on scan tool display.
