Abstract
A vehicle diagnostic apparatus includes a receiver, an electronic controller and a display. The receiver is configured to receive information from a vehicle monitor. The electronic controller is configured to determine a status of the monitor, and output the status in an 8 bit format based on the information received from the vehicle monitor, at least two of the bits in the 8 bit format indicating a predetermined status of the vehicle monitor. The display is configured to display the output.

A vehicle diagnostic apparatus, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive information from a vehicle monitor including a plurality of enabling conditions;
- an electronic controller configured to receive the information from the receiver and based on the information, determine a status of the monitor, and output the status in only an 8 bit format based on the information received from the vehicle monitor, at least two of the bits in the 8 bit format indicating a predetermined status of the vehicle monitor and at least one bit in the 8 bit format corresponds to a predetermined threshold of a parameter of the vehicle, and the electronic controller configured to determine the status of the plurality of enabling conditions, including outputting in the 8 bit format that at least one enabling condition of the plurality of enabling conditions has been met and at least one condition plurality of enabling conditions has not been met;
- and
- a display configured to display the output in only the 8 bit format.
