Data Monitor/Active Test

  1. Inspection with SSM4 (data monitor)
    CAUTION: Subtle phenomena such as breathing and rough idling need to be totally judged based on all items in the computer data by using a method of comparing with an equivalent vehicle after collecting data under the same condition.
    1. On the SSM4, navigate to the [Data monitor] display, and check the computer data.
