Power up the Tech 2 using either:

The power jack connector at the bottom of the Tech 2 unit (Figure 4-1), or

The DLC cable power jack connector behind the area where various DLC adapters are connected
(Figure 4-1).

For non-vehicle communications, connect the power source to either location.

For vehicle communications, connect the power source to the DLC cable power jack connector only. Proper
grounding may not be present if the power source is connected directly to the Tech 2.

When the Tech 2 is connected to the DLC of an appropriate vehicle, the vehicle
battery supplies power. When the Tech 2 is not connected to the vehicle's DLC, the
DLC cable power jack connector accepts power from the following:

Cigarette lighter power cable (Figure 4-1, see text below)

Battery power cable (Figure 4-1, see text below)

NAO power supply (Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2, see NAO Power Supply on page 3)

If the DLC and external power source are both connected, the power jack connection supplies current to the
Tech 2. In this instance, power from the vehicle's DLC connector is automatically disconnected from the
Tech 2 internal power supply.

CIGARETTE LIGHTER POWER CABLE

This cable contains one fuse and two connectors. It has a cigarette lighter plug at one end and a power jack at
the other (Figure 4-1). The power jack connects to the Tech 2 DLC cable and carries power to the Tech 2
when the selected vehicle adapter does not provide power.

This section is a general troubleshooting guide for all vehicle applications of the Tech 2 scan tool. Some of
the information may differ for your particular vehicle application.
When the Tech 2 appears to be operating abnormally, refer to this section for probable causes and solutions.

The following two types of self tests are available on the Tech 2:
Power On Self Test (POST) : checks the major functions of the Tech 2 at power-up.
Self Tests : check the major and minor functions of the Tech 2.
If errors are detected, a Tech 2 malfunction is present which may result in vehicle misdiagnosis. For
Customer Support information, refer to the inside cover of this user's guide.

POWER ON SELF TEST (POST)

Power On Self Tests run automatically each time the power [PWR] button on the Tech 2 keypad is pressed
on.

The screen displays pass or fail results for each area tested. POST automatically
checks the following:

MC68332 processor

External RAM (Random Access Memory)

Flash memory

Display controller and display

Sound transducer

MC68332 RAM

Tech 2

Page 6-1

Troubleshooting

Real-time clock

Keypad controller and keypad

Main UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter)

Results of POST may include fatal errors that do not allow you to continue, or non-fatal errors that allow
you to continue without full Tech 2 operation. If normal Tech 2 functions are stopped or limited, contact
Customer Support to determine if service is required.

At completion of POST, the following audible signals indicate a pass or fail

condition:

One beep - No problem. Your Tech 2 is operating normally.

No beep - Sound transducer has failed. Contact Customer Support.

Three short beeps - Tech 2 has failed POST. Contact Customer Support.

SELF TESTS
Tech 2 self tests verify that the Tech 2 is functioning normally. The self tests evaluate all critical areas of the
Tech 2 and display pass or fail messages for each subsystem tested. Self tests isolate user error from system
hardware failures. The self tests should be performed periodically to insure that the Tech 2 is operating
properly.

The Tech 2 must meet the following requirements in order to do a self test:

Screen display must be fully readable

Keypad must be operational

Begin the Tech 2 self-testing program by following these steps:

1. Press ENTER while viewing the Tech 2 start-up screen (Figure 6-1).
2. Select F3: Tool Options from the Tech 2 main menu (Figure 6-2).

F1: Set Screen Contrast

After you select F1: Set Screen Contrast, a Set Contrast Control screen appears (Figure 8-4), providing you
with instructions on how to set the screen contrast. After you finish setting the screen contrast, press EXIT
to save the contrast level for the next Tech 2 power up.

FIGURE 8-4. Set Contrast Control Screen

Important: The Screen Contrast Control is designed to adjust the permanent default contrast setting of
Tech 2 display.
Because of the nature of the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), you will experience some contrast variance.
When the temperature of the Tech 2 increases the display brightens slightly. As the temperature of the Tech
2 decreases, the display darkens. This variance is a characteristic of an LCD screen and should be considered
normal operation.
The screen contrast control setting described above may not account for the entire variance of operating
temperatures. Set a default setting which is mid-range between the operating temperatures. Screen contrast
may be adjusted during any function by pressing SHIFT and using the up and down arrows for adjustment.
Periodic adjustments may be necessary, but settings outside of this application are only retained during the
current power-up session.

SERVICE PROGRAMMING SYSTEM (SPS)

The Service Programming System (SPS) updates the calibration files that are stored in a vehicle on-board
controller (e.g., ECM, PCM, VCM). The calibration file custom-tailors a module to a certain vehicle. The
calibration file contains data for things such as spark curves and fuel control. When troubleshooting a
driveability problem, diagnosis may call for reprogramming the controller with newer calibration
information to correct a customer concern.

FIGURE 8-18. TIS 2000 Main Screen (Application Selection)

Tech 2

Page 8-17

Software

NOTE

Battery voltage should be checked. A fully charged battery is necessary

before reprogramming takes place. The vehicle battery should not be
connected to a battery charger during a programming event. Incorrect
voltage could cause programming and/or control module failure. During
programming, the control module depends on the battery as its sole source
of power. Also during programming, the vehicle's components (i.e. blower
motor) are set to a default mode which may be turned on, placing
additional draw on the vehicle's battery. If the voltage goes outside the
specified range (11 to 14 volts) the controllers and the Techline equipment
stops communicating. If this happens, it could cause the control module to
become inoperable and require replacement.
Check the integrity of the Tech 2 cables, make sure they are not frayed,
broken, or twisted. Loss of communication for any reason requires
additional time in completing the reprogramming event.
Do not discontinue or interrupt the program loading process to the vehicle.
This may result in a programming error and could prevent the vehicle onboard controller from functioning properly.

REMOTE SPS PROGRAMMING

The Remote SPS method is a three-step process that involves:
1. Connecting the scan tool to the vehicle and obtaining information from the controller.
2. Connecting the scan tool to the PC and downloading a new calibration file from the PC to the scan tool's
memory.
3. Reconnecting the scan tool to the vehicle and uploading the new calibration file to the controller.

PERFORMING REMOTE SPS

Important! Prior to performing SPS:

Ensure that the Tech 2 and the terminal are both equipped with the latest software.

Ensure that the vehicle battery is fully charged. Battery voltage for SPS should be between 12.5 and 14
volts. However, make sure a battery charger IS NOT connected to the vehicle.

Ensure that cable connections are secure. A disconnected cable could cause controller failure.

Perform remote SPS using TIS 2000 as follows:

1. Obtain Vehicle Information:
a. With the Tech 2 and vehicle both off, connect the Tech 2 to the vehicle DLC (Figure 3-23).
b. Start the Tech 2. At the Tech 2 title screen, press ENTER.
c. Turn the vehicle ignition to on (engine not running).

SNAPSHOT UPLOAD
The Snapshot Upload function of TIS 2000 provides a means for viewing scan tool snapshot data, as well as
freeze frame and capture data info on the terminal. This data can be analyzed in a variety of ways to
determine when and where a fault may have occurred.

Using the Snapshot display feature involves three steps:

1. Capture snapshot(s) with the scan tool.
2. Upload the snapshot(s) to the terminal.
3. View the snapshot(s) using the TIS 2000 Snapshot Upload function.

To Capture a Snapshot of the Vehicle Data Stream:

1. Connect the Tech 2 to the vehicle Data Link Connector (DLC). (Refer to Tech 2 Connection to PC on
page 3-17.)
2. Power up the Tech 2 and enter vehicle information as requested on the scan tool's display.
3. From the Application Menu, select F3: Snapshot.
4. At the next screen, select the desired system to snapshot (e.g., engine, transmission).
5. At the next screen, select the desired data list (e.g., engine 1, engine 2).
6. At the next screen, select the trigger type and trigger point.
Trigger Type (F0-F3 function keys) determines how the snapshot is triggered:
F0: Manual Trigger triggers a snapshot when you press the Trigger soft key.
F1: Any Code triggers a snapshot whenever any current trouble code is stored. This event occurs
when the first code is stored in the vehicle controller memory.
F2: Single Code triggers a snapshot when a user specified trouble code is stored.

Page 8-30

Tech 2

Software

F3: Automatic Trigger (chassis applications only) automatically triggers a snapshot.

Trigger Point (F4-F6 function keys) is the exact point at which the trouble code (fault) or manual
trigger occurs within the snapshot period. It helps to know the trigger point when you are looking for
changes in data parameters. Trigger point may be set for:
F4: Beginning causes the Tech 2 to start recording information from the trigger point until snapshot
storage is full. This choice is useful if the fault is predictable in nature.
F5: Center is the most commonly used trigger point because it stores information leading up to and
following the trigger point. This function allows comparison of events before, during, and after a
fault.
F6: End sets the trigger point at the end of the snapshot recording and therefore shows only
information leading up to and including the fault.
7. Press the Record Snapshot soft key. The Tech 2 screen displays a flashing standby message.
When the fault occurs, press the Trigger soft key.
The Tech 2 displays the triggered message.
Allow the scan tool to record a sufficient amount of data, then press EXIT to store the snapshot data.
Press the Continue soft key when the snapshot trigger type screen is displayed.
8. Exit to the Main Menu, then power down and disconnect the Tech 2 from the vehicle.

UPLOADING THE SNAPSHOT TO THE PC

After a snapshot has been successfully captured, perform the following steps to

VIEWING THE SNAPSHOT

After a snapshot has been uploaded (either from disk or the scan tool), it can be viewed and analyzed in a
variety of ways. Figure 8-42 identifies the different display icons and replay selections.

REPLAYING THE SNAPSHOT

To replay a snapshot, use the icons displayed as a row of selections in the lower left-hand portion of the
screen.

The selections and their functions are as follows (refer to Figure 8-42):

First Frame displays the first frame of the snapshot, regardless of which frame was displayed prior to
selection.

Reverse One Frame moves the display to the frame immediately preceding the one currently displayed.

Play in Reverse causes the snapshot to continuously play in reverse, until the first frame is displayed.

Trigger Frame causes the display to move to the exact frame when the snapshot was triggered,
regardless of which frame was displayed before the button was selected.

Play Forward causes the snapshot to continuously play forward until the last frame is reached.

Forward One Frame moves the snapshot forward to the next frame.

Last Frame takes the snapshot to the very last frame.

Stop Play causes a continuous play snapshot to stop at the frame when the button was selected.

SINGLE-COLUMN VERSUS TWO-COLUMN DISPLAY

The Two-Column and Single-Column icons in the toolbar change the appearance of
data parameters.

Two-Column (see Figure 8-42) displays a double-list. When using two-column mode, the maximum
number of characters of any one line is 80.

Single-Column (see Figure 8-43) lists data parameters in a single column that uses larger type, which
makes the data easier to read at a distance.

A default (Single or Two-Column mode) can be set by accessing Options from the menu bar.

FIGURE 8-42. DTC Information on Snapshot Upload Screen

DISPLAYING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

The Diagnostic Trouble Code icon displays all relevant trouble code information for each individual frame
of a snapshot. It is important to note that when replaying a snapshot, every frame of the snapshot may not
have a stored DTC.

To use the DTC display feature:

1. Click on the DTC icon in the toolbar.
A box appears near the top of the screen listing DTC information (Figure 8-44). The following
information is provided:
The first line indicates how many codes are in the frame-for example, 1 of 2, 2 of 2, etc. This is
not the total number of DTCs stored in the entire snapshot, just in the individual frame being
displayed.

Tech 2

Page 8-35

Software

The number and name of the DTC.

Diagnostic Test Status states whether the test ran and whether it passed or failed.
DTC Status lists the DTC information. This is the status of the tests that were run and the related
DTC messages that can be viewed by the technician. This information is based only on the DTC
information listed, since some DTC information is not be available on all applications.
2. If more than one DTC is set for a frame, scroll bars appear at the right side of the DTC window. To view
other DTCs (Figure 8-45), click-and-drag the scroll box or use the scroll arrows.
3. To determine exactly when a DTC set during a snapshot, use the Play Forward and Play in Reverse
buttons to play the snapshot with the DTC window still in view. DTC information continues to display
for all the frames during which the DTC was set. This information can be useful for diagnosing DTCs
by displaying related data parameters at the point in time when the code was set.

TIP!

A quick way to see if a code was set during a snapshot is to go to the last
frame of the snapshot, then select the DTC icon. This shows any and all
DTCs set during the snapshot, since DTCs are stored for the duration of
the snapshot.

4. When a frame is reached for which there is no DTC, the message No Diagnostic Troubles for this data
frame displays in the DTC window (Figure 8-46).

TIP!

In most snapshots, DTCs are set near the trigger frame. To quickly locate
the frame where a DTC occurred, click on the Trigger Frame button.
Then use the Forward 1 Frame or Reverse 1 Frame buttons to view the
frames just before and after the trigger frame. Chances are, the DTC
appears within these frames. If not, continue viewing the snapshot using
the Play Forward or Play in Reverse button.

DISPLAYING GRAPHS
A valuable function of snapshot display is the ability to view up to three data parameters in graph form. This
allows you to see how a parameter is functioning over time. It also allows easy visual comparison of up to
three parameters at a single time.

To access Display Graph mode:

1. Click on the Display Graph icon (Figure 8-47).
A Graph Parameters window appears (Figure 8-48).
2. Click on the first graph icon at the top of the graph parameters window, then select a parameter from the
list in the lower portion of the box.
The parameter name appears next to the first graph icon (Figure 8-48).
3. Repeat this procedure for the second and third graphs.

NOTE

When selecting parameters to be graphed, consider the values used to

measure the parameter to correctly plot these on the graphs. This is done in
the Min Y Axis Value and Max Y Axis Value fields. These may need to be
adjusted to reflect the normal range of values for the parameterfor
example, 0 to 5 volts for MAP sensor.

4. When three desired parameters have been selected, select OK.

The screen changes to display the chosen parameters in graph form (Figure 8-49).
5. Using the navigation icons, move through the parameters.
6. Click and drag on the arrow along the bottom of each graph to move through the graph (Figure 8-49).
This arrow represents the current frame being viewed. It is useful for pinpointing precisely when a
parameter change indicates a fault.
A data value corresponding to the frame that the arrow is pointing to is displayed in the upper left
corner of each graph.

Software

7. To select a different parameter to be graphed, simply click and hold on the parameter name in the data
list, then drag the cursor over one of the existing graphs and release the mouse button.
The new parameter is graphed in place of the old one.
8. To view a graph at full-screen size, move the cursor over the graph. When the cursor changes to a
magnifying glass, click on the graph.
The graph appears at full-screen size (Figure 8-50).
9. Single click on the full size graph to return to the three-graph display.

LOCK/UNLOCK PARAMETERS
The Lock/Unlock Parameters function is used to isolate specific parameters so they can be viewed and
compared more easily than if they were part of the larger parameters list.

To use the Lock/Unlock Parameters function:

1. Click on the desired parameter to highlight it, then click on the Lock/Unlock Parameters icon (Figure 851).
The selected parameter appears at the top of the data list, above a lock line (Figure 8-52).
2. To add other parameters, follow the same procedure. The locked parameters can then be viewed
together to compare their data values. Parameters can also be locked by double-clicking on them in the
data list.
3. To remove an item from the locked list, select it, then click the Lock/Unlock icon.

Tech 2

Page 8-39

Software

The item is removed from the list.

TIP!

In addition to using each display option individually, they can be used in

various combinations to provide the most useful diagnostic capability. It is
even possible to view DTC information, locked parameters, and graphed
parameters simultaneously (Figure 8-53). In multi-display mode, replay
buttons can be used, as previously described, to move through the
snapshot.

VIEWING CAPTURE INFO DATA

Capture Info is a feature that allows the Tech 2 to retrieve DTCs, Freeze Frame, and Failure Records from
the vehicle's control module. This is a different function than snapshot display. Capture Info files consist of
only one frame of data, whereas snapshots typically contain multiple frames of data.
When Capture Info is selected, the scan tool displays a menu selection that allows data from the control
module to be stored to the Tech 2 PCMCIA card, or to refresh the PCMCIA card with new data from a
control module.
Important: A single code may be counted as two different codes in a Capture Info. file if it exists both in
freeze frame and failure records (Figure 8-54).

To view DTCs, Freeze Frame, or Failure Record data through TIS 2000 software:
1. Use the Tech 2 Capture Info function to retrieve data from a vehicle's control module.
2. Connect the Tech 2 to the computer (refer to Figure 8-20).
3. Start TIS 2000.
4. Select the Snapshot Upload application (refer to Figure 8-18).
5. Click on the Upload from Hand-held icon from the toolbar (refer to Figure 8-40).
6. Select Tech 2, then select OK.
7. Select Capture Data from the upload selection menu, then select OK.
The data is displayed on the screen (Figure 8-54). The top of the screen lists DTCs that were stored in
the control module. The lower portion of the screen lists captured freeze frame or fail record data for the
selected DTC. Notice that the navigation selections at the bottom of the screen are gray. This is because
the data record consists of only one frame.
8. If more than one DTC is present, selecting a DTC in the list changes the Data List to match that DTC.
9. Capture Info can be stored and printed by the terminal.

SAVING A SNAPSHOT TO DISK

If you've opened a file and want to save it, choose the Save Snapshot icon from the toolbar (Figure 8-53).
You have the option of saving the file to the terminal's hard drive, to a floppy disk, or to the GM ACCESS
file server.
When saving a snapshot, the program automatically identifies the file by vehicle description. This
information isn't always enough to describe the snapshot.

Page 8-40

Tech 2

Software

To help identify the snapshot, type in descriptive information about the snapshot when saving it. This may
include vehicle conditions, DTCs, symptoms, repair order, etc. The next time a file is opened, this
information aids in locating the correct file.

PRINTING A SNAPSHOT
To print a snapshot that is currently displayed on the screen, select the File menu, then Print Screen. This
prints only the data parameters displayed on the screen. To print the entire parameter list, you need to scroll
down the list, then print again.

TECH 2 PATHING TABLES

The goal of Pathing Tables is to provide an index and path to help the Tech 2 user find specific vehicle
applications/functions. First, the user must enter the basic requirements by selecting the proper Model Year,
Vehicle Type, etc. Applications available are based on the specific vehicle selected. The tables are listed in
alphabetical order. Identify the application you are looking for and then follow the path provided. In most
cases the user is searching for data/output controls in the Diagnostic menu. Selections made from the
Diagnostic menu include Powertrain, Body, Chassis, and Diagnostic Circuit Checks (where applicable), i.e.
Fuel Pump Relay-Special Functions / Engine Output Controls.
