What happens here

Once the diagnostic scanner is successfully connected to the vehicle's OBD-II port, the tool automatically begins to communicate with the vehicle's onboard computer systems. It initiates a scan to detect and retrieve any stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). These codes are generated by the vehicle's Electronic Control Units (ECUs) when a malfunction is detected in a specific system, such as the ABS, engine, transmission, or Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)/airbags. The scanner's display will typically show the progress of the scan, and in some cases, may display a list of preliminary codes or system status during this process.

Goal: With the scanner connected, the user allows the tool to automatically scan the vehicle's computer for any stored diagnostic trouble codes related to the warning lights.
