other options
The Other Options menu item contains a sub menu with three different options depending on the ve-
hicle applications. It contains DTC functions which will read DTCs off of the vehicle computer and erase
them. It will also for certain applications contain a DPF burn-off feature for GM and Dodge vehicles
that have a diesel particulate filter. The descriptions below describe each menu item and function in
detail.
DTCS OR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
are warnings saved on the engine computer that generally
point to a particular malfunction in the vehicle. DTCs are an excellent method of diagnosing a ve-
hicle, in fact this method is used by the OEM.
CHECK DTCS:
This function will look for any diagnostic trouble codes stored in the engine computer and will display all of the
codes on the Triple Dog E3 screen. Notice that most codes are accompanied by a description of the code. The
diagram below illustrates the checking DTCs process.
Start by selecting Check DTCs from the Other Options menu. After that follow the screen prompts until the DTC
Menu displays all of the DTCs on the vehicle.
Once the DTCs have been checked and are displayed on the screen they can be erased within this function by
pressing “Y”. Press “N” to exit into the main menu.
ERASE DTCS:
This function will simply erase whatever DTCs are found on the vehicle computer without displaying any of the
DTCs on the screen. The diagram below illustrates the Erasing DTCs process screen by screen.
