We are a Silverado four-wheel drive and Yes, we are going to want to just do our system selection. Yes, it has an automatic transfer case Dual-zone automatic HVAC. I don't really care about radio because I have my own radio We have rear disc brakes and Then we've got our list of every single module possible on here I've checked this one and cross reference it referenced it with The GM scan tool and it does bring up every single module that the standard GM scan tool or the snap-on Zeus would bring up as well We're able to go into our power train system. That should be our ECM read our live data Engine transmission glow plug data Have a look at that and You're able to select any amount of these that you want to and we can see The amount of amperage that each of them are drawing which is also another good test for if you have glow plugs about to go out or anything like that You'll see them drawing a lot higher amperage here and there which is something cool. Just keep that one in mind So then we want to go back to home screen for your software updates it's going to keep all your software updates right here up to date for you and That's something we don't really need right now and Our diagnostic history now after doing a full system health scan which takes approximately three minutes for this vehicle It goes through and it brings up all your codes Then what you're able to do is go to your report You can put in whether you want to save it as a pre repair a post repair or a diagnostic scan of this vehicle To be able to save it into your actual arty pad for future reference saves your VIN number You can put in any kind of notes and then save it into place You can also tag a technician and a customer name put in all of the information for it as well put in my name and The customer name and then you've got your full Diagnostic report that you're able to save to the arty pad Now once everything is saved right there.
