6. The Break-In Limiter System Enabled(for 55-5069 USB modules only) checkbox controls the Break-In limiter function. Note: The Break-In Rev Limit Statuscan only be viewed from an ECM. Thebreak-in limiter automatically sets the rev-limit for an initial period of running a newengine, allowing the new engine to beproperly broken-in. Once the Break-Inlimiter function is enabled, it cannot bedisabled until the break-in limiter time haselapsed. The length of this period,together with the current rev-limit, can befound in the ECM Information dialogpage Rev Limiting tab. If the Break-InLimiter System Enabled checkbox ischecked, this means the break-in limiter iscurrently active and will be deactivatedonce the break-in period is complete. Ifthe box is unchecked, you can enable thebreak-in limiting period by checking thebox and clicking Save.

7. The Wheel Speed Gear Factor (for 55-

5069 USB modules only) is a valueused by the ECM to scale the input fromthe wheel speed sensor to drive thespeedometer and mileage counter. Youcan adjust this value by entering apercentage. 100% represents 50000counts per kilometer (50000 pulses fromthe wheel speed sensor equals 1000meters traveled). The calculated numberof counts per kilometer is also shown. Thevalid range for the percentage value is 5%(2500 counts per kilometer) to 165%(82500 counts per kilometer).

1. To view current diagnostic info, ensure theECM is connected. See Connecting theECM for more information. 55-5069ECMs with the appropriate calibration filecan also retrieve freeze-frame diagnosticinformation.

2. Select Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

3. The Select Data Source dialog box willappear. The dialog box will list the currentactive data sources; i.e. the ECM if it isconnected, the demonstration data builtinto the software, and any calibration filesthat you accessed since starting thesoftware. To view live and currentdiagnostic data, you must select the ECMas the data source. To select a datasource, click on it to highlight it and thenclick OK or press Enter. You can alsodouble-click on an item to select it. If youwant to browse for another calibration,select the 'A calibration file not on thislist' option.

will appear. When viewing diagnosticinformation from calibration files, theCurrent DTC Error message field and listare not applicable and will not be shown.

5. The top section is the Current DTCError box. This displays a scrolling list ofthe current faults detected by the system.If there are no current faults the message'No Current Trouble Codes' will bedisplayed on a green background. If thereare current faults detected, the number ofcurrent faults will be displayed, followedby each fault displayed in turn on a redbackground.

6. The Current Diagnostic Trouble CodeList displays the current faults as a list,together with their P-Codes (standardautomotive codes for vehicle faults).

7. The Historic Diagnostic Trouble CodeList displays all faults logged since thecodes were last reset. For certain ECMswith the appropriate calibration file,freeze-frame data may be available forsome of the items logged in the list.Freeze-frame data logs key engineparameters when the fault occurred. If ahistoric trouble-code has freeze-framedata, 'Yes' will be shown in the 'Freeze-Frame?' column. You can view the databy selecting the fault in the list andclicking Historic Freeze-Frame Data...The parameters logged are EngineMileage, Trip Count, Engine Speed,Throttle Voltage and the Time spent With
