CarChip LED Modes
The CarChip can be toggled between two LED Modes: Diagnostic and Disabled.
Diagnostic Mode
Diagnostic Mode enables the LED in the following manner:
• Self-test Mode - Three rapid blinks indicates the initial hardware self-test is ok.
• Communications Mode - Two rapid blinks per second until the CarChip successfully begins to
communicate with a vehicle.
• Data Mode - One blinks per second while the CarChip is communicating with a vehicle.
• Sleep Mode - No blinks.
• PC Mode - One blink per second whenever CarChip is connected to a PC. LED is 100% ON when
downloading to a PC.
Disabled Mode
When the CarChip LED is disabled only the Self-test and PC modes are active.
• Self-test Mode - Three rapid blinks indicates the initial hardware self-test is ok.
• PC Mode - One blink per second whenever CarChip is connected to a PC. LED is 100% ON when
downloading to a PC.
Reset Check Engine Light
You can use CarChip to reset your car’s check engine light.
Note: If the condition that caused the check engine light to appear has not been corrected, the light will
reappear the next time the car detects the condition.
To reset your car’s check engine light:
1. Choose Reset Check Engine Light from the CarChip menu.
• The first time you choose Reset Check Engine Light, the CarChip data logger will be "armed" to
reset the light next time it is installed in your car.
• When the reset is armed, a check appears next to the command in the CarChip menu.
2. To "disarm" the reset function, choose Reset Check Engine Light a second time.
Set Speed Bands
Use the Set Speed Bands dialog box to enter the threshold speeds for CarChip. The threshold speeds help you
identify how much time is spent in each speed band. The time spent in each band shows up on the Trip Report
and is displayed as horizontal dotted lines in the Trip Speed Plot.
To set speed bands:
1. Choose Set Speed Bands... from the CarChip menu. The CarChip / Set Speed Bands dialog box
appears.
