The Compact Scan Module (CSM) is a wireless device that is connected directly to the vehicle data link connector (DLC), and wirelessly transmits vehicle data to the diagnostic tool.

1.

Connect the diagnostic tool to it's power supply and turn it on.

2.

Connect the supplied USB cable to the CSM and USB jack on the diagnostic tool. The blue LED should be lit on the CSM.

3.

Select System Settings.

4.

Select Paired Devices.

5.

Select Add .

6.

Select OK

7.

Select your CSM to pair it.

If more than one are displayed, match the last six numbers of the onscreen listing to the last six numbers on the sticker on the back of your CSM.

8.

Wait for the CSM to pair.

9.

When finished, the CSM is listed under Paired Devices and will automatically connect when both are powered up.

Notes:

●

The CSM and diagnostic tool must be powered on when pairing. Make sure the diagnostic tool is connected to the AC power supply.

●

The device only needs to be paired once. The connection configuration should remain in memory for all future uses, unless the connection configuration is removed or lost.

●

The blue LED is illuminated when power is being supplied via a USB connection. The green LED on the CSM is illuminated when power is being supplied to the CSM by a vehicle DLC.

●

After the CSM is paired, you may see a firmware update prompt. If this occurs follow the screen prompts to update. For more information, see Updating Scan Module Firmware.

There are two quick checks to see if the CSM is paired, either can be used.

Check 1:

Look for the CSM status icon on the lower right of the Home Screen.

If the CSM icon has a blue dot over it, then it is paired.

If it has an "X" over it, then it is not paired.

If it has a slash "/" through it, then it is paired but not communicating.

Check 2:

From the Home Screen, select > System Settings > Paired Devices

Look for your CSM under "Paired Devices"

The internal programming (firmware) of the Compact Scan Module (CSM) may require periodic updates. Firmware updates increase the CSMs diagnostic capabilities; typically by adding support for new tests, vehicles, and enhanced applications to the vehicle databases.

CSM firmware updates (when available) are delivered with diagnostic software updates/upgrades. Upon starting the Scanner function, initially after a software update or upgrade has been installed, a message may be displayed to inform you an update is available.

Description of choices :

●

Update Now begins the process immediately.

●

Update Later defers the operation, closes the message, and starts the Scanner function. If you choose not to perform the update, it will not affect diagnostic tool operation, however you will not benefit from the additional features available in the update

The firmware update process, as explained in the following procedure, begins automatically after ten seconds (only when connected by USB) unless Update Now or Update Later is selected.

Before selecting "Update Now" :

The diagnostic tool must be connected and powered by the AC power supply during the CSM firmware update process. Damage can occur to the CSM if the diagnostic tool power is turned off, the power supply is disconnected, or the diagnostic tool looses communication (out of range) with the CSM during the firmware update process.

●

Make sure the diagnostic tool is connected to it's power supply.

●

Connect the supplied USB cable to the CSM and USB jack on the diagnostic tool. The blue LED should be lit on the CSM.

1.

Select Update Now.

The update begins and installation progress is tracked on the screen.

2.

Select OK to close the message and return to Scanner operations.

The CSM, now has the latest firmware update, and is ready to use.

When troubleshooting CSM connectivity issues, first review the CSM LED status and hardware status icons for possible causes.

CSM operations can be impacted when signal interference, or some other condition, disrupts or impairs the wireless communication network. These interruptions are usually temporary and easily repaired.

Indicators of wireless communication interference include:

●

Slow CSM response accompanied by “Error 101” message.

●

Slow CSM response accompanied by “Error 404” message.

●

“Error Occurred” Message when trying to use the CSM.

●

“Error Occurred” Message after 20 or more minutes sitting idle, particularly if the devices have been stationary.
