Scan Tools Spec's

[ROBERT S. KAPS]

Hi , I Just Bought An X-ray Scan Tool 5000 .. It Works Great But I'm Told To Compare The Operational Spec;s Of My Vehicle To What The Scan Tool Read Out , That I Had To Buy The Factory Shop Manual For Each Car , Each Year , Each Model I Have For $ 150.00 Each ... Do You Know Where I Can Get These Spec's For Cheaper ? ? ? Thanks Bob

what type of "specs" do they mean? if it the data stream, most sensors function the same even from manufactior to manufactior. if it is the DTCs, those are standard, only difference is OBD1 or OBD2.

i'm not sure which type of spec's ... these spec's are under the heading 1- operational data on the scan tool , example : fuel system 1 closed loop , load value 18% , short term fuel trim 1 1.5% , long term fuel trim 1 6.2% , air flow rate 0.55 1b/min , oxygen sensor 1 bank 1 0.860 v , etc. etc. these readings were from my 2005 kia mini van , obd 11 ...
these readings came from my 1992 saturn sl2 , obd 1 , throttle sensor 0.47 volts , oxygen sensor 946 mvolts , injector pulse 2.3 ms , block learn 125 , integrator 128 , manifold air tmp 86.0 F , map sensor 1.45 volts , barometric press 4.91 volts , prom id 6123 , evo feedback duty cycle 0.0 % , etc. etc. ...
these are the spec's i'm looking for so i can compare ... thanks bob
