Yes. The UCAN scanner can record live data in real time while connected to the vehicle, even while driving. This is one of the most powerful features for diagnosing intermittent problems.

How It Works

  1. Connect the scanner to your vehicle
  2. Select the control module and live data parameters you want to monitor
  3. Tap the Record button to begin capturing data
  4. Drive the vehicle or reproduce the condition you are trying to diagnose
  5. Stop recording when finished

Playback and Analysis

  • Replay recordings: Play back the recorded data at any time to review what happened at the exact moment of a misfire, hesitation, or other symptom
  • Pinpoint intermittent issues: Problems that come and go — like random misfires, temporary sensor dropouts, or occasional stalling — are much easier to catch with recorded data
  • Share recordings: Email recorded data to a technician or support team for further analysis
