Note: This information applies only to NAFTA NCV3 Sprinters. This information does NOT apply to 2002-2006 NAFTA (T1N) Sprinters.
WiTECH is the current dealership hardware/software package used to diagnose NAFTA NCV3 Sprinters in Canada and the US.
I mentioned in another thread (http://sprinter-source.com/forum/showthread.php?p=57710) that a technician is able to use WiTECH to provide a vehicle scan report prior to clearing DTCs so that an owner may use the data for personal reasons.
Technicians may not be familiar with the procedure to generate a vehicle scan report in Portable Document Format (PDF) with WiTECH. Most owners are probably also unfamiliar with the menu options required to generate the report.
Attached this posting is a write up - which may be downloaded and printed - detailing the steps required to generate a vehicle scan report in PDF and two sample reports from the simulated Sprinter available as part of WiTECH. One is "detailed," and the other sample is "standard."
The simulated Sprinter has a fake VIN: WD0PF445775143719 and it should not be confused with a "healthy" Sprinter; it's provided by the WiTECH programmers to help field technicians learn to use WiTECH w/o risking a real vehicle.
A vehicle scan report, in my opinion, may be a helpful tool to an owner experiencing issues and unable to get resolution in one or two dealership visits.

PS: I think I accidentally clobbered the detailed report with standard report output. I've removed the original detailed report and replaced it with a confirmed copy. - jc
