BLCKTEC 440: Viewing Vehicle Information

Purpose

To guide you in navigating your Vehicle's Information while using the BLCKTEC 440.

Introduction

The Vehicle Information function offers three options for retrieving reference information for the vehicle under test: Vehicle ID, Available Modules, and IPT (In-Use Performance Tracking).

Note: The Vehicle ID function is applicable to the model year 2000 and newer OBD2-compliant vehicles.

The scan tool can retrieve a list of information (provided by the vehicle manufacturer), unique to the vehicle under test, from the vehicle’s onboard computer including the details below:

The vehicle’s VIN number.
The control module identification number.
The vehicle’s calibration ID(s). These IDs uniquely identify the software version(s) for the vehicle’s control module(s).
The Vehicle’s Calibration Verification Number(s) (CVNs) are required by ODB2 regulations. CVNs are used to determine if emission-related calibrations for the vehicle under test have been changed. One or more CVNs may be returned by the vehicle’s computer.
