Bosch OBD1300 Scan Tool
20 fault codes documented
Code 11 or 111 — No faults detected during KOER test
This code indicates that the vehicle's self-test completed successfully without finding any active problems during the Key On, Engine Running (KOER) test. It means the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has passed the diagnostic check.
Code 12 display — No RPM reference pulse detected
Code 12 means the engine control module (ECM) is not receiving a signal indicating the engine's rotational speed. This is often expected when the engine is not running, but if displayed during a test with the engine off, it indicates a problem.
Codes remaining: 0 confirmation
This confirmation message appears after the 'Erase Codes' function has been completed. It indicates that all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) have been successfully cleared from the vehicle's memory.
Command sent message
This message appears after you initiate a function like 'Erase Codes'. It indicates the scan tool has successfully sent the command to the vehicle's control module.
Cylinder Balance Test failed message
This message indicates that the Cylinder Balance Test has detected a problem with one or more engine cylinders. The tool will display a list of the failed cylinders.
Cylinder Balance Test failed due to throttle movement
This error message appears during the Cylinder Balance Test if the throttle pedal is moved after the initial press and release, or if noise from the throttle position sensor interferes with the test.
ECM 111 — Engine Control Module passed KOEO test
This code, often displayed with 'Sys Pass' or 'No Faults Detected', indicates that the Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has successfully completed the Key On, Engine Off (KOEO) diagnostic test without identifying any issues.
Error Message displayed on screen
An error message indicates a problem that needs attention. This can happen if the connection is not secure or if the vehicle's computer needs to be reset.
FAULT PRESENT message and beeping — Intermittent electrical fault detected
The scan tool beeps and displays a 'FAULT PRESENT' message when it detects an intermittent electrical fault during a Wiggle Test. This indicates a problem with a sensor or wiring connection.
Garage Full message — Too many vehicles saved
The scan tool has reached its limit for stored vehicle profiles. You need to delete an existing profile to add a new one.
Memory codes erased confirmation
This message confirms that the diagnostic trouble codes stored in the vehicle's continuous memory have been successfully erased. This is typically done after servicing a known fault.
No codes found message displayed
This message appears when the scan tool has completed its search for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and found none in the vehicle's computer.
Warning: Only memory codes can be erased!
This message appears when you attempt to erase codes. It informs you that only 'memory codes' (Continuous Memory Codes) can be cleared without repairing the fault. KOEO and KOER codes require the fault to be fixed first.
Please Wait message during code erase
This message indicates that the scan tool is currently processing the 'Erase Codes' command and communicating with the vehicle's control module. It requires a short period to complete.
Read KOEO Fast Codes / Read KOEO Slow Codes — Ford system allows only one Self-Test function per key on
This message appears when attempting to run the KOEO (Key On, Engine Off) self-test function multiple times without cycling the ignition. The Ford system restricts self-tests to one per ignition cycle.
STAR Test Mode beep
A beep sound accompanies each time the STO (Self-Test Output) signal goes low during the STAR Test Mode. This indicates the scan tool is receiving a signal related to the vehicle's self-test.
Test in progress. Time remaining 7:36 Please Wait — KOEO Slow Codes test is running
This message displays on the scan tool screen while the Key On, Engine Off (KOEO) Slow Codes test is actively retrieving diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from the vehicle's Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
TPS/Pedal Position Out Of Range code
This indicates that the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) or the pedal position is reporting a value that is outside the expected range. This can affect engine performance and diagnostics.
TPS/Pedal Position Out Of Range During Self-Test — Throttle position sensor issue
This message indicates that the throttle position sensor (TPS) or the accelerator pedal position is reporting a value outside the expected range during a self-test. This can affect engine performance and idle control.
Vehicle power is not detected — Scan tool not receiving power from the vehicle
The scan tool is not getting power from the vehicle's OBD-II port. This means it cannot communicate with the car's computer systems.
