Task Manager: Notes

The Task Manager determines which tests happen when and which functions occur when. Many of the diagnostic steps required by OBD II must be performed under specific operating conditions. The Task Manager software organizes and prioritizes the diagnostic procedures. The job of the Task Manager is to determine if conditions are appropriate for tests to be run, monitor the parameters for a trip for each test, and record the results of the test. Following are the responsibilities of the Task Manager software:

• Test Sequence
• MIL Illumination
• Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
• Trip Indicator
• Freeze Frame Data Storage
• Similar Conditions Window
