The scanner supports a variety ofinboard and outboard electronic engine control systems and is softwareungradable for future addition to the TechMate Scan Tool s diagnostic functions, the tool alsocontains a programmable fuel injector tester that is compatible with mostmulti-port marine fuel TechMate Scan Tool automatically tailors its menu choices and availablefunctions based upon the type of ECM it detects on the engine . A flowchart ofthe basic menu choices is detailed on the Function Flowchart pages.

7 Somefunctions and features may vary between similar ECM types. This variation isdue to the way that a particular ECM is programmed at the factory. SomeECMs may have certain features enabled or disabled which will cause theTechMate scan tool to automatically adjust its menu and data display the Key Functions, Setup and Operation, as well as the FunctionFlowchart to the section pertaining to the specific system type being the procedures in that 3 Figure 1 TechMate Scan ToolScan Tool Key FunctionsPage 4 Scrolls to next menu choice or used to increase a valueScrolls to previous menu choice or used to decrease a valueUsed to choose or activate menu optionsExits the current menu or test modeStops information that is scrolling across the displayDisplays scan tool setup optionsUsed to activate outputs or pulse injectors depending upon test modeProvides information on menu selections or engine parametersKEY FUNCTIONSS etup and OperationSetupThe setup function is accessible while in any of the scan tool s menus or while in thedata scanning mode.
