When you click on a specific PID shown in the interface, it will get enabled or disabled from the scan cycle, meaning it will either included or excluded from the scan to generate scan results. If you want to enable the tachometer and speedometers, you need to activate RPM and Speed in the interface.

As a standard 10 modes are defined in OBD-II, used by most of the scan tools but few other specific modes have been described by companies. Mode 22 is one of them specifically defined by SAE J2190 for Ford and GM companies. This mode is used for obtaining information which is not available in other modes.

The tool has been reviewed by users and experts and has been found to be very effective. GM Mode 22 Scan Tool’s mechanism has been designed to support all the OBD-II protocols. Moreover, it is guided by other compatible programs. The major protocols it can work with are SO15765-4 (CAN), ISO14230-4 (KWP2000), ISO9141-2, J1850 VPW, and J1850 PWM.

It has an operating voltage of 12 volts and has LED indicators for OBD and RS232 reception and transmission.  It works smoothly without disruption in all the scans on different vehicles. It also has the capability to run at very high speeds and works with a battery voltage monitoring system to help notify and manage low voltage situations.

There are a number of customization options in the interface so that you can generate the display and the output as per your requirements. You can select the modes of operation and report outputs can be saved for future references.
