To retrieve Parameter IDs (PIDs), follow these steps:
1. Connect the NOS Tester to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
2. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position.
3. Select the MODEL YEAR and VEHICLE.
4. Select DIAGNOSTIC DATA LINK.
5. Select ECS (Air Bag Electronic Crash Sensor module).
6. Select PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD.
7. Record all PIDs that are to be retrieved, and press START. PIDs are updated continuously on the display.
