I was working on a 06 Ford van recently and was wanting to view certain data on a test drive, such as o2's, fuel trims, load, MAF pids, speed, gear, etc. I looked over each pre configured data group and could not find all this data together in any one group - and many times data like this needs to be viewed AT THE SAME TIME to be of much value. Reluctantly, I was forced to shut the Modis down and see if the Genisys had these grouped together in one of its groups, which it did this time, so I had to use it instead.
Different scanner brands group pids differently, but what really sucks in all of them is the lack of flexibility in pre configured data groups. I don't mind the existence of these groups, but we need to be able at times to pull from ALL available data to make our own list for those tough problems, or so each mechanic has the flexibility to use his own style of diagnostics.
Cookie cutter diagnostics don't always work.
What do you guys think?
