Scan Parameters
Please note that not every vehicle will support every parameter. For example, most V6-equipped
vehicles do not have a passenger-side O2 sensor; therefore, codes such as LFT2 & O2R will return
“T.O.” (timeout). The engine type selected on the Config screen will also determine which parameters
are available on the screen when you’re configuring the scanner.
