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 instrument panel, and follow scan tool manufacturer's instructions. PIDs are updated continuously on scan tool display.
