Myles Blevins · Answer 1

C) Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

The scan tool may include a bi-directional control that allows the technician to control the output of the alternator for testing purposes.

The Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), are used by automobile manufacturers to diagnose problems related to the vehicle.

The scan tool can also be used to monitor the output voltage of the vehicle to verify if the correct amount of voltage is supplied by the alternator.

Both Technicians A and B are correct because the steps they both take are necessary for the diagnosis of the vehicle.
