WELCOME
We thank you for purchasing Cummins’ QUICKCHECK™ II datalink reader for
Heavy-duty and Industrial vehicle and diesel engine applications. It is our hope
that this device, coupled with your Palm™ handheld organizer, will add value to
your already valuable Cummins engine by giving you the ability to read engine
and vehicle subsystem information quickly and conveniently1.
The QUICKCHECK II adapter communicates with the engine ECM (electronic
control module) component, as well as other vehicle subsystem components that
broadcast on the SAE J1939 or J1587 datalinks. It is not intended to replace the
Cummins INSITE™ tool. It has limited functionality compared to INSITE™, but
offers the advantage of a more portable, affordable, and convenient tool for basic
engine and vehicle subsystem diagnostics.
QUICKCHECK II functions with a wide range of Palm computing devices—Palm
III™ series (including the Palm III, Palm IIIe, Palm IIIxe and Palm IIIc) and Palm
VII™. With an optional adapter, it also functions with Palm V™. QUICKCHECK II
is also compatible with HandEra™ computing devices. QUICKCHECK II is NOT
compatible with Handspring™ computing devices. For convenience, this manual
refers to all Palm computing devices as handheld organizers, handheld devices,
or simply handhelds or organizers without including the Palm name or model.
To operate the QUICKCHECK II datalink reader, your handheld organizer requires
version 3.x of the Palm HotSync® synchronization technology software. If your
software is version 2.0, update it to the latest version without cost at the Palm
web site: http://www.palm.com.
These are the minimum requirements for your computer system to synchronize
with a Palm handheld organizer as listed in the Palm computing device
Handbook:
Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0
IBM-compatible 486 computer or higher
8 MB RAM minimum; 16 MB recommended for Windows NT 4.0
20 MB available hard disk space
VGA monitor or better (256 color video display)
CD-ROM drive (you can also download the Palm Desktop software
from http://www.palm.com or order 3.5" diskettes from Palm, Inc.)
Mouse
One available serial port with the organizer cradle plugged in
1
With the included QC Configurator™ program, you will be able to configure QuickCheck to read
faults and some parameters from Transmission, Vehicle Computer, Engine #2, and Braking
systems. See the QC Configurator manual or read the Help menu Instructions in the QC
Configurator program to learn how to configure QuickCheck to read subsystem faults and
parameters.
Rev. 1.0
Cummins Inc.

QUICKCHECK II User's Manual
CAUTION: Connect and operate QUICKCHECK II only when the vehicle is
stationary. (The key switch must be in the on position.)
INSTALLATION
The QUICKCHECK II installation is a typical Windows, self-executing installation. It
sets up the application for the handheld organizer and is also used to install the
QUICKCHECK II Conduit, which is used by the HotSync Manager to send stored
engine diagnostic data from the handheld organizer to the host PC.
The QUICKCHECK II software installation instructions are listed below. The
following steps assume that you have already installed the handheld Desktop
software. If you have not installed this software, see the handheld handbook for
instructions on installing the Desktop software.
1. Insert the QUICKCHECK II CD-ROM2 into your computer.
2. Click on the Windows 95/98/NT Start menu and click Run.
3. Type e:QC2Suite.exe, where e: is the letter assigned to the CD-ROM drive.
4. Click the OK button to install the QUICKCHECK II desktop component (the
Conduit) along with registering the Palm Application with the Palm HotSync
Manager.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation. Choose the
software applications you want installed on your handheld organizer.
Installation places all needed PC components into the root directory for the
handheld organizer (typically C:\palm).
However, QUICKCHECK II
components are placed in the \qc2 directory immediately below the Palm
root directory.
6. Perform a HotSync operation to install the QUICKCHECK II application on the
handheld organizer.
Important: Due to the amount of data required by the QUICKCHECK II
application, it will take several minutes for the HotSync to install the
required databases. Please be patient during the installation process.
Note: The HotSync Manager must be stopped and restarted to recognize
the newly installed conduit. Please refer to the Palm computing device
documentation that came with your handheld organizer for complete
instructions on how to do this. If the default setting of the HotSync
manager "Always available" has not been changed, then stopping and
restarting your PC will restart the HotSync Manager.
2
In the event the QC2Suite.exe installation file was obtained by a different means (e.g., the
Internet), simply specify the source file and location in Step 3 using the Browse button, rather
than specifying the computer drive.

QUICKCHECK II User's Manual
APPLICATION
The QUICKCHECK II application, in conjunction with the QUICKCHECK II datalink
adapter and QC Configurator program, allows you to read and capture select
engine and subsystem data from your diesel-powered vehicle. This data includes
equipment identification information, equipment configuration, fault information,
current operating parameters, and trip parameters.
With QUICKCHECK II, you can:
•
Read and store engine configuration information
•
Read and store both active and inactive engine and subsystem faults
•
Monitor engine and subsystem operating parameters, such as engine rpm,
coolant temperature, and transmission output shaft speed readings
•
Read engine trip data, such as idle parameters and vehicle distance.
ADAPTER INSTALLATION
The QUICKCHECK II application uses only the QUICKCHECK II datalink adapter
(NOT the original QuickCheck adapter) to connect to the vehicle’s J1939 or
J1587 datalink. The adapter is similar in appearance to the modem for the Palm
III™ handheld organizer, but is designed to perform as a datalink adapter and will
not function as a modem.
CAUTION: Never connect a telephone line to the QUICKCHECK II datalink
adapter. This may damage your QUICKCHECK II adapter.
ACTIVATING QuickCheck II
Once installation is complete, the QUICKCHECK II application icon depicted at the
right appears in the handheld organizer’s application launcher. Tap the icon to
launch the QUICKCHECK II application.
EQUIPMENT SCREEN
Once the QCHECK II icon is tapped, the Equipment screen appears. This screen,
along with the Monitor and Trip screens described later, is considered to be a
data display screen. Each data display screen contains a connection status
display, navigation icons, a save icon, and a mode selector. This allows certain
information and functionality to be available in multiple places in the application.
This section serves to document the repeated information for all screens. A
fourth screen, the Fault screen, is discussed later.

Current Screen
This label is an indicator of which screen is currently being displayed:
Equipment, Fault, Monitor, or Trip. It changes as the Navigation Icons
are used to change between screens. This label always corresponds
with the Navigation button that has been selected. For the Equipment
screen, this is the truck shaped icon shown on the right.
Navigation Icons
Navigation Icons are available on all QUICKCHECK II screens. These allow the
user to easily select the desired screen with a single screen tap. This enables
one to get from any screen to any other screen in a convenient, intuitive fashion.
The selected screen is displayed on the handheld.
When a different icon is selected, the active icon
returns to its original state and the new icon is
inverted. Examples of selected and not selected
icons are shown at the right.

QUICKCHECK II User's Manual
Engine Information
The Equipment screen displays information about the engine and its
configuration. If QuickCheck II has been configured by QC Configurator to read
another vehicle subsystem's faults, component identification information for this
subsystem is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Equipment information
uniquely identifies a vehicle and can be used to distinguish one set of data from
another. With the exception of Total Engine Hours (which is found underneath
the Software ID on the equipment list), all data on this screen is static and should
remain the same each time the vehicle is connected to QUICKCHECK II. Note that
when more data for a screen is available than can fit on the display, a scroll bar
appears, which the user can utilize to move the display list up and down
(alternatively, the scroll button on the handheld device can be used to scroll up
and down the list).
Equipment ID
The Equipment ID is a unique item in that it is a label
that is established by the user and will be associated
with subsequent connections to that vehicle, as well as
being used to identify that vehicle’s data. Once the
Equipment ID is established for a particular vehicle, it
will automatically be retrieved on subsequent
connections to that vehicle. This feature allows the
user to connect and save data from multiple vehicles.
In order to establish an Equipment ID, the user must first connect to the desired
vehicle. If an Equipment ID has already been defined, it will appear in the
Equipment ID field; otherwise that field will be blank. In order to set or modify
that field, simply tap the stylus on the field and an entry box will appear on the
screen (as shown). The user may then utilize the Graffiti or keyboard input
mechanism to edit the field. When finished, simply tap anywhere outside the edit
box to close it. Note that a save must be performed the first time an Equipment
ID is entered for a new vehicle so that it can be remembered.
Parameter Value Validity
Three of the four screens (Equipment, Monitor, and Trip) convey data validity
information for a given value. This easily lets you know whether a given value
has been received or is up to date. In Live mode, if the screen is displaying
normal information for a given parameter, it is the most recently received
information. If the information becomes out of date, the values are displayed in
reverse video. In addition, the fields can contain strings that convey the validity
status of a given parameter. For example, Disconnected or Unavailable is
displayed if the data is not accessible.

Connection and Data Saving Status
This message field contains information about either the connection status or the
data-saving status.
Messages such as J1939, J1587, No Adapter,
Communicating, Datalink Down! and Saving are phrases displayed in this area of
the screen. When using QUICKCHECK II, glance at this portion of the screen for
an idea of the current overall status of the application.
Connection Mode
The Connection mode controls QUICKCHECK II’s mode
of operation. This determines whether the application
is viewing live or stored data. You can use this feature
by activating the pull-down and selecting the desired
mode. When in Live mode, the application displays the
data corresponding to the vehicle currently connected
to the datalink. When in Review mode, the application
displays information corresponding to records that have
been stored on the handheld device and the Status
display is replaced with controls that can be used to
select stored equipment records. The Review mode
will be described later.
Save Icon
This icon is used to store the data plate, engine hours, and diagnostic information
of the currently connected vehicle. When it is pressed, this information is stored
in a time-stamped record, which can later be transferred to a PC. If the
Equipment ID has not been set for the current vehicle, the user will first be
prompted to enter one. Note that any subsystem component identification
information will not be saved. When the QC Configurator program has been
used to configure the faults for a particular vehicle subsystem, the faults are the
only subsystem information that can be saved, along with the normal engine
equipment and trip information.
Switching Between Datalinks
When you open the QuickCheck II program, it will start in Auto Select mode and
make a default connection to the J1939 datalink if it is available, or it will select
the J1587 datalink if the J1939 datalink is not active. You may manually select
the desired datalink to read by tapping to place a checkmark in the appropriate
box in the Datalink Selector menu option. The menu Options pull-down list is
accessible via the menu button located on the handheld organizer.
In addition to the Datalink Selector menu option, the user can also press the
push-button on the QUICKCHECK II adapter in order to switch to a different
datalink. Note that when the datalink switching function is not available in
Review mode, pressing this button will have no effect. Also note that to prevent
accidental touches from triggering datalink-switching events, the button must be

held down for at least half a second before it registers as a datalink-switching
request.
Zoom Box
Some data plate fields may contain strings of
information that will not fit in the allocated display
area. For these fields, an expanded display zoom
box allows you to view the entire field. To activate the
zoom box, simply tap the stylus on the field. If it is
supported, the box will automatically appear. Tap
again anywhere outside the box to close it.
FAULT SCREEN
The Fault screen's primary purpose is the display of diagnostic fault codes that
are currently recorded on the vehicle. The status display is replaced by two new
controls (Active-Inactive pull-down fault list selector and the Refresh Button) and
the data table is replaced by a list of faults (if any are recorded on the current
vehicle). The navigation icons and save icon are at the bottom of the screen.
Fault List
Refresh Button
Active-Inactive
Pull-down
Fault List
The list box on the Fault Screen shows all the active or inactive (see ActiveInactive Pull-down) faults that are recorded on the current ECM or that are stored
in the current record if Review mode is activated. Faults are listed as either
Cummins Fault Code numbers or PID/SID/SPN (see Glossary) and FMI
numbers, along with an abbreviated text description of the problem. More
descriptive information can be obtained from these codes by selecting the row of
the desired fault with the stylus. When a code is selected by the stylus, a zoom
box with more detailed information is opened. If more faults than can be
displayed are recorded on the module, a scrolling arrow will appear at the bottom
right corner of the list box.
Rev. 1.0
Cummins Inc.
Page 11
QUICKCHECK II User's Manual
The zoom box provides more detailed information
about the fault code. This includes a description of
the fault, the Parameter Identifier (PID), Subsystem
Identifier (SID), or Suspect Parameter Number
(SPN), the Failure Mode Identifier (FMI), the
corresponding Cummins Fault Code (CFC), and
the fault occurrence count. This information can
be retrieved on current faults (in Live mode), as
well as on fault records that are currently stored on
the handheld device (in Review mode).
When finished with reviewing this information, exit this mode by touching the
screen anywhere with the stylus and the zoom box will automatically close.
Active-Inactive Pull-down
A fault can be either active, which indicates that the conditions which trigger that
fault are currently active, or it can be inactive, which indicates that conditions
have existed in the past to trigger that fault code, but they no longer exist. Both
these types of faults can be monitored with the QUICKCHECK II application. To
select the type of fault to monitor, use the Active-Inactive Pull-down control,
selecting the fault type that is desired.
Refresh Button
The refresh button is used to remove the list of current faults and re-read the
faults from the module. This will modify the lists with any changes that may have
occurred while the device is still connected to the datalink.
MONITOR SCREEN
Scroll Bar
The Monitor Screen is utilized to display live
analog sensor and engine or subsystem
parameter data, such as various speeds,
temperatures, and pressures. Note that the units
displayed can be converted to the metric system
by using the QC Configurator program.
Depending on the engine or subsystem model, note that some SAE parameters
may not be supported on your vehicle. These may show up as random character
values or as ‘Unavailable.’ You may contact the manufacturer of the engine or
subsystem to verify whether that model supports a particular SAE parameter.
Rev. 1.0
Cummins Inc.
Page 12
QUICKCHECK II User's Manual
The remainder of the controls and displays on the Monitor screen are identical to
those on the Equipment screen. Refer to the documentation on those controls
for further information.
TRIP SCREEN
The Trip screen is utilized to monitor vehicle triprelated data, such as vehicle distance, fuel consumed,
and speed settings. This is useful for understanding
the vehicle usage. Note that the units displayed can
be converted to the metric system by using the QC
Configurator program.
The remainder of the controls and displays on the trip
screen are identical to those on the Equipment
screen. Refer to the documentation on those controls
for further information.
REVIEW MODE
Review mode is used to view data records that have been stored on the
handheld unit. For the QuickCheck II application, the only information that is
stored is fault, trip, and equipment information. In order to enter Review mode,
simply use the Connection mode pull-down control and select Review. The
Connection Status display is replaced with a pair of record selection controls.
These controls are used to retrieve the desired record from storage on the
handheld device. Note that records that are saved on the handheld device
remain there until they are deleted or until they are HotSync'ed to a PC, at which
point they are no longer available on the handheld device.
Record Pull-down
Equipment Pull-down
The Equipment Pull-down is used to classify records according to the vehicles
they were extracted from. The items on this list correspond to the unique
Equipment ID that was entered for a particular vehicle. That is, the serial number
for each of the vehicle engines in this list will be unique. The Record Pull-down
will show all the records saved for that vehicle. Remember that, once
HotSync'ed, these records are archived to the PC, unless the QUICKCHECK II
conduit is disabled. If the device is only used with a single vehicle, then only one
Rev. 1.0
Cummins Inc.
Page 13
QUICKCHECK II User's Manual
Equipment ID will appear on this list. Once the desired vehicle is selected from
the Equipment Pull-down, use the Record Pull-down to load the desired record,
identified by date and time. The data plate associated with that vehicle and the
fault information associated with that record can then be reviewed. Monitor
parameters and the subsystem data plate are not stored and are displayed as
Unavailable. This is due to the fact that the record is a single sample, which is
typically not useful for analysis and would unnecessarily consume memory on
the handheld device.
Deleting Records
Records can be deleted by utilizing the Delete menu,
which is only available in Review mode. The menu
commands are activated via the Palm menu key.
Select the Del menu and then the Selected Record option. This will erase the
current record from memory. Once erased, this record can be neither viewed nor
transferred to the PC during a HotSync process. Note that deleting records on
your handheld does not affect text files stored on your PC.
Deleting Equipment
An equipment category and all its associated records can be deleted by utilizing
the Delete menu. The menu commands are activated via the Palm menu key.
Select the Del menu and then the Selected Equipment option. This will erase the
current equipment record from the equipment list and will delete all data records
associated with that piece of equipment. Once erased, these records can be
neither viewed nor transferred to the PC during a HotSync process. After the
equipment record is deleted, QUICKCHECK II will not automatically identify the
vehicle with that information until a new equipment record is established.
ADAPTER STATUS SCREEN
The Adapter Status screen displays information about the QUICKCHECK II datalink
adapter, such as the adapter firmware version, adapter battery voltage level, and
datalink status. This screen is in the Options pull-down list that is accessible via
the menu button located on the handheld organizer.
BASIC TUTORIAL
This section describes a typical data-gathering session. It begins with collecting
(scanning) the data, saving data, reviewing previously collected data, then
downloading the saved data to the PC using the HotSync process, and finally
how to remove QUICKCHECK II stored data from the handheld. This tutorial
assumes the following:
•
The handheld organizer will be connected to a vehicle that it has not been
previously connected to.
Rev. 1.0
Cummins Inc.
Page 14
QUICKCHECK II User's Manual
•
The user is familiar with Palm handheld organizer standard operations.
•
The batteries are properly installed in the QUICKCHECK II datalink adapter.
(The QUICKCHECK II datalink adapter does not come with the batteries
installed. The Battery Installation section in Appendix A of the document
describes how to install the batteries in your adapter.)
•
The QuickCheck II cable, adapter, and handheld device have all been
properly connected.
Step 1: Attach the QUICKCHECK II datalink adapter to the bottom of the handheld
Connecting organizer. Attach the appropriate 6-pin or 9-pin datalink cable to the adapter
modular phone jack, and connect the 6-pin or 9-pin mating connector (see
Appendix D for pin-outs) of the datalink cable onto the vehicle’s datalink
connector. The engine should be keyed “On”. Tap the QUICKCHECK II application
icon. If the Connection Mode (upper right corner of the screen) indicates Live,
the QUICKCHECK II application immediately attempts to connect to the datalink. If
the Connection Mode is set to Review, select Live now.
Step 2: Next, verify that you are in the Equipment screen. If QUICKCHECK II was entered
Equipment from the handheld organizer’s application launcher, Equipment is the default
Screen screen. If the current screen is other than Equipment (i.e. Fault, Monitor or Trip),
select the Equipment icon now.
Step 3:
Equipment
ID
When a successful connection is established, QUICKCHECK II displays the
message “J1939” or "J1587." If the vehicle is communicating3 with QUICKCHECK
II, the fields on the Equipment screen are filled in as information is scanned, but
the Equipment ID field is blank. This field is filled in by the user the first time a
vehicle is scanned. Touch to the right of the Equipment ID label to enter the
desired text. Using standard Palm computing device text methods (graffiti,
keyboard, etc.), enter a name or label that is logical, user friendly, and easy to
remember. The next time someone connects to this vehicle with this handheld,
the QUICKCHECK II application will search its past records and fill in the
Equipment ID field with the name you entered.
You should still be looking at the Equipment screen where the engine Make,
Model, and Serial No are listed, along with the VIN, Software ID, and Total Eng
Hrs (engine hours). If the QC Configurator program was used to configure
QUICKCHECK II to read subsystem faults or display the Rated Eng Pwr (engine
power) parameter, not all fields will be visible on the screen at the same time, but
they can be seen by scrolling down through the list. If a field is displayed as
Initial, Unavailable, or Disconnected after 30 seconds, QUICKCHECK II is indicating
that this particular piece of information has not been received on the datalink or
QUICKCHECK II may not be connected correctly. Check your connections to be
sure that this is not the problem.
Step 4: Next choose Monitor by tapping the third Navigation Icon. This screen shows
Monitor current engine (or subsystem) operating information (sensor information such as
Screen

engine speed, coolant temperature, and oil pressure) in real time, as they are
broadcast. Parameters that are not supported by a particular ECM version
typically are displayed as ‘Unavailable’ all the time.
Step 5: Choose the Trip Navigation icon (tap the fourth icon) and vehicle trip information
Trip Screen will be displayed (for example, Maximum Road Speed, Total Fuel Used, etc.).
Step 6: If faults4 are present, you will see them listed in the Faults List box located on the
Fault Fault screen. Selecting any fault takes you immediately to a pop-up that displays
Screen more details about the selected fault.
You can switch between the Equipment, Fault, Monitor, and Trip screens at any
time. Note that the Equipment screen contains mostly non-changing information,
while the other screens are continually updated.
Step 7: At this time, select the Save icon located at the bottom right of the Equipment,
Saving Monitor, or Trip screen. This initiates the data-saving mechanism of QUICKCHECK
Data II. The application saves the current values for the equipment and fault
information. This information is time-stamped and can be viewed later, even
when QUICKCHECK II is not connected to the engine.
Step 8:
Reviewing
Data
You can view previously stored data on the handheld by selecting the Review
setting of the Connection Mode pull-down control. When Review mode is
selected, two pull-downs are available above the Navigation icons at the bottom
of the screen: the one on the left chooses the equipment you want to see, and
the one on the right lists records identified by dates and times of storage. Once a
piece of equipment is selected, the other pull-down will contain record entries for
that particular vehicle. This allows you to select which stored record is currently
viewable. Note that if more than 20 records are stored, they are separated in the
record list in 20-record sets.
Step 9: Previously stored data can be deleted from the handheld by selecting the Review
Deleting setting of the Connection Mode screen control, then choosing the equipment
Records and record from the pull-down lists that you want to delete. Tap the menu button
located on the handheld organizer. Select Del, then select either the equipment
or record to delete. Deleting the equipment will remove the equipment from the
equipment pull-down list and all its records. Deleting the record will only remove
the currently viewed date/time record from the record pull-down list.
Note: It is recommended to perform a HotSync operation before deleting
any equipment data from the QUICKCHECK II application.
CONDUIT
The Palm HotSync Manager oversees the process of synchronizing data. The
handheld organizer uses a conduit to transfer data to and from the user’s PC.

Cummins Inc.
Page 16
QUICKCHECK II User's Manual
However, with QUICKCHECK II, data can only be transferred one way—from the
handheld organizer to the PC. This allows the PC to unload data from the
handheld and free up memory.
INSTALLATION
The installation of the QUICKCHECK II Conduit is described in the Installation
section on page 6.
CUSTOMIZATION
Conduit customization is achieved by accessing the HotSync Manager5 by rightclicking the icon located in the bottom right portion of the PC screen and
choosing Custom. Currently, the only options are to allow the conduit to transfer
data from the handheld organizer to the PC or to disable the conduit altogether.
To transfer data, select either the Synchronize the files6 or the Handheld
Overwrites Desktop option. To disable the conduit, select the Do Nothing option.
The conduit does nothing in the Desktop Overwrites Handheld mode because
data can only be transferred one way—from the handheld organizer to the PC.
DATA
The conduit transfers three types of information from the handheld organizer to
the PC—equipment, trip, and faults. It creates and maintains three “globally
accessible” files, one for each type of data. The files are named equip.txt,
trips.txt, and faults.txt. Each file is appended to every time a HotSync
process occurs, regardless of which user performs the process. This is different
from what normally happens during a HotSync synchronization (usually the
system separates information by user).
In addition to appending new information onto the end of these files, backup
versions are maintained, in case something catastrophic happens during a given
HotSync process.
Upon a successful synchronization of QUICKCHECK II data, the conduit instructs
the handheld organizer to remove the downloaded fault, trip, and equipment
records from the handheld organizer, freeing memory for future downloads or
other application data. As a result, all fault, trip, and equipment data older than
the last synchronization is not available to be examined on the handheld
organizer—only on the PC.
Location
The location of the HotSync output files is as follows:

[palm root]\qc2\trips.txt
[palm root]\qc2\faults.txt
The backup copies of these files are stored in the same directory, but have the
extension .bak instead of .txt.
Formats
The conduit writes in spreadsheet-compatible, comma-delimited text file format.
Each entry or record is a single line with multiple fields, separated by commas.
This allows files to be easily imported into a program such as Microsoft Excel for
further analysis. Users that want to manipulate the data further must use the
exact format of each file that is detailed in the tables below.

APPENDIX A: MAINTAINING YOUR QUICKCHECK II HARDWARE
BATTERY INSTALLATION
The datalink adapter requires two AAA batteries for power—in addition to the
batteries used to power the handheld organizer. A set of the adapter batteries
should last up to 20 hours of continuous operation. Rechargeable batteries may
be used if they have the same mechanical form as standard alkaline batteries.
When replacing the adapter batteries, always begin by removing the adapter
from the handheld organizer.
Install two AAA batteries in your QuickCheck II adapter
With the front of the QuickCheck II
adapter facing you, place your
fingers on each side of the adapter.
Using the small ridges to grip the
battery door, slide the battery door
toward you and away from the
adapter.

DATALINK CABLE STORAGE
The datalink end of the cable should be disconnected from the vehicle datalink
when the adapter is not in use.
CARE
Treat the datalink adapter with care, just as you do the Palm handheld organizer.
Neither is waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture.
Also, like the handheld, the adapter should be protected from temperature
extremes. Do not leave it on the vehicle dashboard on a hot day and keep it
away from other heat sources, including heaters.

APPENDIX D: FAULT CODES
This Appendix provides information about the engine and vehicle subsystem fault
codes that you may receive from your vehicle. CFC is the Cummins fault code.
PID is the parameter identifier. SPN is the suspect parameter number. SID is
the subsystem identifier. FMI is the failure mode identifier. Each CFC, PID,
SPN, SID, and FMI is identified by a number. You may notice some numbers
missing from the following tables, as NOT all numbers have been defined.
CFC NUMBER RANGE SUPPORTED
18 - 2295*
* - Not all CFC numbers are assigned by Cummins. If QuickCheck II reads a
fault with a CFC number that is unassigned, it will have a description based on
the PID, SPN, or SID. Note that no zeros are used in CFC numbers because
CFC numbers are also used for codes flashed on diagnostic lamps.
PID NUMBER RANGE SUPPORTED
1 - 511*
* - Not all PID numbers are assigned by SAE. If a fault is read by QuickCheck II
with a PID number that is unassigned, it will have a description indicating either
"Reserved - to be assigned" or "Description Not Available."
SPN NUMBER RANGE SUPPORTED
1 - 1709*
* - To minimize the size of the QuickCheck II databases, not all SPN descriptions
are supported. If a fault is read by QuickCheck II with an SPN number that is
unassigned by SAE or unsupported in the database, it will have a description
indicating either "Reserved - to be assigned" or "Description Not Available."
SID NUMBER RANGE SUPPORTED
1 - 255*
* - Not all SID numbers are assigned by SAE. If a fault is read by QuickCheck II
with an SID number that is unassigned, it will have a description indicating either
"Reserved - to be assigned" or "Description Not Available."
