1998 SCAN TOOL SOFTWARE UPDATE (V1.8)

The new 1998 Scan Tool software update contains the following improvements and additions:

NOTES AND TIPS FOR USING THE SCAN TOOL

  1. If a "No Communication" message is displayed on the HDS Scan Tool when trying to view codes or data, check/try the following items:
    • Check for correct Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Be careful when entering a 1997 or 1998 VIN and answer the "Tiburon?" question correctly.
    • Clean the contacts of the K5A Personality Key with Hyundai Multi-Purpose Cleaner & Degreaser or another suitable contact cleaner. A film or residue from the shop environment may form on the Personality Key contacts causing poor circuit connection. Results may be erratic communication or no communication at all.
      NOTE: Many SRS system communication conditions are solved by cleaning the K5A Personality Key However, if cleaning the K5A Personality Key contacts does not work, a replacement key may be necessary. Call Kent-Moore at 1-800-345-2233 to order a new K5A key (P/N J-41490-K5A).
    • SRS communication conditions can occur when the main SRS fuse is blown. The SRS light may be on, however, the module does not have power and cannot communicate with the Scan Tool.
    • Secure data link connection - Check OBD-II adapter and vehicle data link connector pins for damage. (Tweaking of OBD-II adapter pins approximately 10 degrees may help.)
    • Turn the ignition key OFF and back ON. This re-sets the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) communication system.
    • In some cases, for older model vehicles (pre-1996), it may be necessary to attempt communication by selecting one year above or one year below the model year being worked on as the software in the Scan Tool can only accommodate one communication setting per model configuration.
    • Re-enter the VIN and make sure the key is in the ON position and not the ACC position.
  2. Codes should only be cleared with the ignition in the ON position. If the engine is running, the codes may not be cleared properly.
  3. If the plastic cartridge housing is cracked or damaged, an empty replacement plastic cartridge (P/N J-41490-16) (includes the label) can be ordered through Kent-Moore. More information and Scan Tool part numbers are shown below.
  4. A new Scan Tool adapter is available that contains an extra plastic strip to allow a more secure connection to the data link connector. See Fig 1 .

USING THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM TRIGGER TEST

The Evaporative Emission System Trigger Test works best in combination with HDS and is found in the "Select Systems" menu on the Scan Tool.

  1. Set up the HDS as you normally would to monitor the EVAP System by selecting from the "Signal Waveforms" screen the Canister Close Valve, the Canister Purge Valve and the Differential Pressure Sensor (DPS). Set the MS/DIV (millisecond/division) to 300.
  2. Make sure the vehicle is running at normal operating temperature, there are no codes present (clear any code before performing test) and the oxygen sensor is active.
  3. If all conditions are met, start the Evaporative Emission Test and the Scan Tool will display "Now Trying to Trigger EVAP Test". After a few seconds "Start Recording on the HDS System" message will display. At this point click the RUN button on HDS to start recording.
  4. About 30 seconds later the message "Wait about 10 seconds then stop recording on the HDS System" will be displayed. After 10 seconds, stop the recording on the HDS. The HDS should have captured the Evaporative Emission System cycle. If the EVAP Test did not perform as described above, disconnect and then re-connect the scan-tool before attempting to perform the EVAP Test again.
NOTE: I) After performing the EVAP Test, it may be necessary to cycle the key off and back on to view engine codes and data. This resets the powertrain control module (PCM) communication system. II) The EVAP Test can only be performed twice during one key on cycle. Turn the engine off and wait about 15 seconds before trying to run the test again.
