Operating KW340: Core Functions and How to Use Them

• Reading and Clearing DTCs

• • Screen shows “DTC LOOKUP” and codes like P010, indicating a Powertrain fault.
  • Clearing DTCs will turn off MIL (check engine light) after issues are resolved.

• I/M Readiness

• • Green checks indicate completed monitors; red X indicates not yet run.
  • Monitors include MIL, DTC, MIS, CCM, HCAT, AIR, O2S, EVAP, EGR, and FUE.

• Data Stream and Live Readouts

• • Real-time data such as RPM, vehicle speed, and O2 sensor readings help diagnose intermittent faults.

• Battery Voltage Testing

• • Connect to the vehicle, navigate to Battery or Electrical System, and view voltage; typical resting voltage ~12.6V with the engine off.

• VIN and Vehicle Information (VIN)

• • After startup, VIN, CALID, and CVN are displayed automatically.

• O2 Sensor and EVAP Tests

• • Retrieve recent O2 sensor monitor results and run EVAP system tests (Mode 8) for evaporative system integrity.

• Freeze Frame and On-Board Monitoring

• • Freeze Frame captures sensor values at the moment a DTC was stored; On-Board Monitoring shows emission-related test results.
