Viewing Diagnostic Monitors With New Generation STAR

NOTE: This procedure is written assuming the use of a New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester. If a generic OBD II scan tool is used, it will be necessary to follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the scan tool.

When preparing to perform the vehicle drive cycle, it is possible to observe the status of diagnostic monitors using Rotunda(r) New Generation STAR (NGS) Tester 007-00500. Observing the diagnostic monitors will enable you to determine when Modes 2 and 3 have been successfully completed.

NOTE: NGS will not display a Mode 1 monitor, as Mode 1 does not actively monitor a specific system. You should check for the availability of a MODE 1 PID when Mode 1 is performed.

To view the diagnostic monitors on NGS, make the following screen selections:

- Select GENERIC OBD II FUNCTIONS.

- Select TESTS

- NGS will now display the status of the diagnostic monitors. Scroll the screen down to view all the monitors. When all the monitors have successfully completed, NGS will chime to alert you.

WARNING: Strict observance of all traffic laws and attention to road conditions are mandatory when proceeding with the drive cycle.
