Diagnostics & typical setings

As the title says, does Rave give all the typical values that a Lynx or other diagnostics throw up?
It seems important to have diagnostics but without base values as a comparison, they are limited to an inexperienced user. Obviously, putting the error codes on here brings a wealth of knowledgeable solutions.
Only asking as I have just acquired a Lynx and it would be handy to understand typical values before a fault code appears.
Prevention is better than a cure.

If Lynx just gives you a fault code without any information on it then it is not worth owning. EOBD codes are listed in RAVE. Go to Range Rover and select Technical brochure the click EOBD.

Thanks Wammers.
I was thinking of live data as well. A recent example being my Maf reading was 16 at idle. When advice was sought on here, everyone said 'that's far too low, should be 22-25'.
A new MAF cured the problem & sure enough, new one gave 22 & problem cured.

Data such as the MAF values is in RAVE. Look under the relevant engine management section for your engine type in RAVE and read the description.

It does tell the info as well as the code, anything else would be rubbish

Thanks Druim
Fault codes are one thing, it was the live data reference values I was more interested in.

I'm not sure any of the diagnosis devices would know the correct range for things like MAF airflow numbers - as many have said - that's what Rave is for.

I have a little black book with many,many values for live data taken from healthy vehicles.Very little of this info will be found in Rave or on Topix,the net based system LR now have.Getting this data and noting it down takes very little time,but can save much more when a fault appears.
Data taken from you own car is even better as there are slight variations between individual cars,if anything changes you will then know where to look.

@eightinavee

So it seems it's worth running through all the menus in live data noting down all the values assuming your car is running ok.
Then you at least have a baseline set of values.

Yep,if its running well you have the perfect opportunity to make all those notes.Some things such as air pressure rising on L322 EAS are better done by filming on video,watching the rate of change.Watching the oxy sensors switching could help too.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
Once Santa has left the Lynx, I can start recording my baseline values.

Do tell what the lynx can record ?
can it compair cps and injector no4 readings together,
Or does it just give you one rpm reading
Can you get boost pressure ?
Fuel temp
Current fuel readings ?
What can these machines do as it all seems a bit vague when it comes to the lynx .

Rather that writing the parameters down, I just photograph the laptop screen.

Screen dump, much easier

Screen dump/photo it is then.
Will report back once Santa has been & am up to speed with the Lynx.

You would be better with a Nanocom. Far more capable unit.

In what way? (oh no not this again)

You name important stuff Nonacom can do Lynx cannot

Surely recording the base values is relevant for whichever diagnostics device is used.

Having typical base values as a guide must be helpful.

It is just a question of the best way to achieve this.

Not easier and if the HDD goes as it did on my computer you lose the info, also printed photo's can be compared side by side with the screen, I've had trouble getting screen dumps to print sensibly.
