Scanning vehicle with appropriate scanner is to pull out Diagnostic troubling codes ((DTCs). These codes will give the direction to automotive technicians as to where the problem(s) reside. The DTCs may be specific to a particular sensor or electromechanical component which must be identified, tested for functionality (electrical & mechanical service manual from the manufacturer) or be related to two more components which can also be accurately troubleshooted using electrical and mechanical drawings from the manufacturer.

Also, life data from the scanner tool must be check for all available system components and compare with the standard values in the manufacturer's specifications to know which sensors or electromechanical parts that is bad or not before changing any expensive parts. And lastly, the person using scanner must be able to interpret if not all, atleast the relevant data information.

Some times u need live data to get some faults, not all faults are captured by DTCs, also a faulty Ecu will throw u completely off point by not detecting the fault or giving u a false alarm where there is none
