3X Crank Sensor: Scan Tool Displays 1200 to 10,000 RPM. This signal is calculated
from the 18X pulses and is fed to the PCM by the Ignition Control Module.
This is used by the PCM to calculate RPM at engine speeds above 1200
RPM and to initiates injector pulses.

by the Ignition Control Module and is fed to the PCM to calculate engine RPM
below 1200 RPM.
A/C High Side Pressure: Scan Tool Displays 0.00 to 5.00 Volts.
A/C High Side Pressure represents the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor
signal. The amount of pressure indicates the amount of load that the A/C
compressor is placing on the engine. The PCM uses this information to
adjust idle and to control the cooling fans.
A/C Pressure Out Of Range: Scan Tool Displays YES or NO.
A scan tool display of YES indicates that the PCM is monitoring an A/C
Refrigerant Pressure signal voltage which is too high or too low to allow
the A/C compressor clutch to engage.
A/C Request: Scan Tool Displays YES or NO.
A scan tool display of YES indicates that the HVAC system has requested
A/C compressor operation. The HVAC system sends A/C request information to
the PCM via serial data (CKT 1807).
Actual EGR Position: Scan Tool Range 0% to 100%.
Actual EGR Position represents the actual position of the EGR pintle
in percent. A scan tool display of 0% indicates a fully extended pintle (EGR
valve closed).
Air Fuel Ratio: Scan Tool Range 0.0 to 25.5.
Air Fuel Ratio indicates the PCM commanded ratio of Air to Fuel. In
closed loop, the Air Fuel Ratio should normally be around 14.2 - 14.7. A
lower Air Fuel Ratio indicates a richer commanded mixture, which may be
seen during Power Enrichment or TWC Protection modes. A higher Air Fuel
Ratio indicates a leaner commanded mixture. This can be seen during Decel
Fuel Mode.
BARO: Scan Tool Range 10 to 105 kPa / 0.00 to 5.00 Volts.
The barometric pressure reading is determined from the MAP sensor signal
monitored during key up and Wide-Open Throttle (WOT) conditions. Barometric
pressure is used to adjust fuel delivery and spark advance to compensate
for altitude changes.
Cam Signal Present: Scan Tool Displays YES or NO. If the PCM does not receive a cam
signal from the Ignition Control Module the scan tool displays NO.
Change Oil Lamp: Scan Tool Displays ON or OFF.
The Change Oil Lamp display represents the PCM commanded state of the
Change Oil Lamp. The PCM calculates Engine Oil Life based upon the number
of engine revolutions seen and operating conditions such as calculated
oil temperature. The PCM will command the Change Oil Lamp ON when the
remaining oil life is less than 11%.
Commanded A/C: Scan Tool Displays ON or OFF.
The Commanded A/C display represents the PCM commanded state of the
A/C compressor clutch relay driver circuit. The A/C compressor clutch should
be engaged when Commanded A/C displays ON.

The Commanded Fan 1 and Commanded Fan 2 displays represent the PCM commanded
state of the fan 1 (low speed) and fan 2 (high speed) control circuits.
Commanded Gen: Scan Tool Displays ON or OFF.
The Commanded Gen display indicates the PCM commanded state of the generator
control circuit. The scan tool displays OFF if a fault condition occurs with
the generator or the generator control circuit.
Cruise: Scan Tool Displays ENGAGED or DISENGAGED.
Cruise represents the state of the Cruise Status Input form the SMCC
module. The scan tool should not display ENGAGED unless the vehicle is operating
in cruise control.
Cruise Inhibited: Scan Tool Displays YES or NO.
A scan tool display of YES indicates that the PCM is commanding the
SMCC module to inhibit cruise control operation. The scan tool should display
YES with park, neutral, reverse or low gear selected.
Current Gear: Scan Tool Displays numbers 1, 2, 3, or 4.
The PCM looks at Trans Range position and the gear commanded by the
PCM. Because the manual valve can override the PCM commanded gear, the actual
forward gear that the Transaxle is in will be the lower of the two gears.
Decel Fuel Mode: Scan Tool Displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE.
A scan tool display of ACTIVE indicates that the PCM has detected conditions
appropriate to operate in Deceleration Fuel Mode. The PCM commands deceleration
fuel mode when a sudden decrease in throttle position has been detected
while the vehicle is traveling over 25 mph. While in Deceleration
Fuel mode, the PCM will decrease the amount of fuel delivered by entering
Open Loop and decreasing the injector pulse width.
Desired EGR Position: Scan Tool Range 0% to 100%.
Desired EGR Position represents the EGR pintle position that the PCM
is commanding. Desired EGR Position should stay close to Actual EGR Position.
Desired Idle Speed: Scan Tool Range 0 to 3187 RPM.
The Desired Idle Speed display represents the PCM commanded engine idle
speed. To keep the engine at the desired idle speed, the PCM compensates for
various engine loads based on engine coolant temperature.
ECT: Scan Tool Range -40°C to 151°C, -40°F to 304°F.
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is mounted in the coolant
stream. The PCM applies 5 volts to the ECT sensor circuit. The sensor
is a thermistor which changes internal resistance as temperature changes.
When the sensor is cold (internal resistance high), the PCM monitors
a high signal voltage and interprets it as a cold engine. As the sensor
warms (internal resistance decreases), the voltage signal decreases and
the PCM interprets the lower voltage as a warm engine.
EGR Closed Valve Pintle Position: Scan Tool Range 0.0 to 5.0 Volts.
EGR Closed Valve Pintle Position represents the learned voltage that
the PCM uses to determine whether or not the EGR valve is fully closed (0%
pintle position). If the Desired EGR Position is 0% and a calibrated difference
between EGR Feedback and EGR Closed Valve Pintle Position is detected,
DTC P1404 will set.
EGR Duty Cycle: Scan Tool Range 0% to 100%.
EGR Duty Cycle represents the EGR valve driver PWM signal from the PCM.
A duty cycle of 0% indicates that no EGR flow is being commanded; a 100%
duty cycle indicates maximum EGR flow commanded.
EGR Feedback: Scan Tool Range 0.00 to 5.00 Volts.
The EGR Feedback display indicates the PCM monitored EGR pintle position
sensor signal voltage. A low voltage indicates a fully extended pintle (closed
valve); a voltage near 5 volts indicates a fully retracted pintle
(open valve).
EGR Flow Test Count: Scan Tool Range 0 to 255.
The EGR Flow Test Count indicates the number of EGR flow test samples
collected during the current ignition cycle. The maximum number of samples
allowed is 1 during normal operation. If the PCM battery feed has been
disconnected or a DTC P0401 has been cleared, several EGR flow
test samples will be allowed during the next ignition cycle. This is
to allow repair verification during a single ignition cycle.
EGR Position Error: Scan Tool Range 0% to 100%.
EGR Position Error indicates the difference between Desired EGR Position
and Actual EGR Position currently being monitored by the PCM. If the EGR
Position Error reaches an unacceptable level, DTC P0404 will set.
Engine Load: Scan Tool Range 0% to 100%.
Engine load is calculated by the PCM from engine speed and MAF sensor
readings. Engine Load should increase with an increase in RPM or air flow.
Engine Oil Level: Scan Tool Displays OK or LOW.
The Engine Oil Level display indicates the oil level as determined by
the Engine Oil Level switch.
Engine Run Time: Scan Tool Range 00:00:00 to 99:99:99 Hrs:Min:Sec.
The Engine Run Time display indicates the time elapsed since the engine
was started. If the engine is stopped, ENGINE RUN TIME will be reset to 00:00:00.
Engine Speed: Scan Tool Range 0 to 9999 RPM.
Engine speed is computed by the PCM from the 3X reference input. It
should remain close to desired idle under various engine loads with engine
idling
EVAP Canister Purge: Scan Tool Range 0% to 100%.
The EVAP Canister Purge display represents the PCM commanded PWM duty
cycle of the EVAP Purge valve. A scan tool display of 0% indicates no purge.
A scan tool display of 100% indicates full purge.
EVAP Fault History: Scan Tool Displays NO FAULT, EXCESS VACUUM, PURGE VALVE LEAK, SMALL
LEAK, or WEAK VACUUM.
The EVAP Fault History indicates the status of EVAP system diagnostics
performed by the PCM.

The EVAP Vent Sol display represents the state of the EVAP Canister
fresh air vent solenoid. The EVAP Vent Solenoid should be open during normal
operation.
Fuel Level: Scan Tool Range 0% to 25%.
The PCM calculates the amount of fuel in the tank based on input from
the fuel level sensor. The PCM uses the fuel level input for the EVAP system
diagnostics and to control the fuel gauge.
Fuel Pump: Scan Tool Displays ON or OFF.
The Fuel Pump display indicates the PCM commanded state of the fuel
pump relay control circuit.
Fuel Tank Pressure: Scan Tool Displays 0 to 64 In. H2O / 0.00 to 5.00 Volts.
The PCM monitors the signal from the fuel tank pressure sensor to verify
that the evaporative emissions control system is operating correctly and
leaks are not present. The fuel tank pressure sensor is used extensively
for EVAP purge control and EVAP system diagnostics.
Fuel Trim Cell: Scan Tool Range 0 to 9.
Engine speed and MAF sensor readings determine the fuel trim cell. A
plot of RPM vs. MAF is divided into 10 cells. The fuel trim cell display
indicates which cell is currently active.
Fuel Trim Learn: Scan Tool Displays DISABLED or ENABLED.
When conditions are appropriate for enabling long term fuel trim corrections,
FUEL TRIM LEARN displays ENABLED. The ENABLED display indicates that the
long term fuel trim is responding to short term fuel trim. The DISABLED
display indicates that the long term fuel trim no longer responds to changes
in short term fuel trim.
Generator Lamp: Scan Tool Displays ON or OFF.
The Generator Lamp display indicates the PCM commanded state of the
Generator Lamp. The PCM commands the Generator Lamp ON due to low system
voltage or a generator fault.
Generator PWM: Scan Tool Range 0% to 100%.
Generator PWM represents the field terminal input from the generator.
The field PWM duty cycle indicates the generator output level. A higher duty
cycle indicates a higher generator output. To compensate for variances
in engine load caused by the generator, the PCM uses the generator F
terminal signal to adjust spark and IAC.
HO2S Sensor 1: Scan Tool Displays NOT READY or READY.
The HO2S Sensor 1 indicates the status of the fuel control exhaust oxygen
sensor. The scan tool indicates that the exhaust oxygen sensors are ready
when the PCM detects a fluctuating HO2S voltage sufficient to allow closed
loop operation. This will not occur unless the exhaust oxygen sensors
are warmed up.
HO2S Sensor 1: Scan Tool Range 0 to 1132 mV.
The scan tool display represents the fuel control exhaust oxygen sensor
output voltage. The HO2S voltage should fluctuate constantly within a range
between 10 mV (lean exhaust) and 1000 mV (rich exhaust) while
operating in Closed Loop.
HO2S Sensor 2: Scan Tool Range 0 to 1132 mV.
The scan tool display represents the catalyst monitor exhaust oxygen
sensor output voltage. If the catalyst is operating efficiently, the HO2S 1
signal will be far more active than that produced by the HO2S 2 sensor.
If the PCM detects a level of HO2S 2 activity that indicates the
catalyst is no longer operating efficiently, DTC P0420 will be
set.
HO2S Warm-Up Sensor 1 / HO2S Warm-Up Sensor 2: Scan Tool Range 00:00 to 99:99 MIN:SEC.
The scan tool display indicates time to warm-up for each HO2S. The HO2S
warm up time is used for the HO2S heater test. The PCM will run the heater
test only after a cold start (determined by engine coolant and intake
air temperature at the time of startup) and only once during an ignition
cycle. When the engine is started the PCM will monitor the HO2S voltage.
When the HO2S voltage indicates a sufficiently active sensor, the PCM
looks at how much time has elapsed since startup. If the PCM determines
that too much time was required for the HO2S to become active, a DTC
will set. If the engine was warm when started, HO2S Warm-Up will display
the value that was stored last time the test ran. If info has been cleared,
HO2S Warm-Up will display 00:00.
HO2S XCounts: Scan Tool Range 0 to 255.
The scan tool display indicates the number of times the HO2S 1
signal has crossed the 450 mV bias voltage during a 1 second interval. A HO2S 1
signal that almost never crosses the bias voltage could indicate a fuel
trim problem, a faulty HO2S 1 circuit, or a faulty HO2S 1.
IAC Position: Scan Tool Range 0 to 255.
The scan tool display represents the commanded position of the idle
air control pintle in counts. A larger number of counts means that more air
is being commanded through the idle air passage. IAC Position should
respond fairly quickly to changes in engine load to maintain desired
idle RPM.
IAT: Scan Tool Range -40°C to 151°C, -40°F to 304°F.
The PCM converts the resistance of the intake air temperature sensor
to degrees. The PCM uses Intake Air Temperature (IAT) to adjust fuel delivery
and spark timing according to incoming air density. IAT is also compared
to ECT at startup to identify cold starts for the HO2S heater and the
EVAP diagnostics.
Ignition 1: Scan Tool Range 0 to 25.5 Volts.
The Ignition 1 display represents the system voltage measured by the
PCM at its ignition feed.
Ignition Mode: Scan Tool Displays BYPASS or IC.
The Ignition Mode display indicates the commanded state of the Bypass
signal output from the PCM. When BYPASS is displayed, the ignition control
module is controlling the spark advance at a fixed 10° BTDC
(Bypass mode). IC displayed indicates that the PCM has requested control
of the spark advance (IC mode). The ignition control module determines
the correct operating mode based on the level of voltage that the PCM
applies to the ignition control module bypass circuit. The PCM provides
5 volts to the ignition control module bypass circuit when conditions
are appropriate for PCM control of spark timing (IC mode). If the PCM
does not apply 5 volts to the bypass circuit, or if the ignition
control module does not receive it, the module will control spark timing.
Injector Pulse Width: Scan Tool Range 0 to 1000 msec.
The Injector Pulse Width display Indicates the amount of time the PCM
is commanding each injector ON during each engine cycle. A longer injector
pulse width will cause more fuel to be delivered. Injector Pulse Width
should increase with increased engine load.
Knock Retard: Scan Tool Range 0.0 degrees to 25.5 degrees.
The Knock Retard display indicates the amount of spark the PCM is removing
from IC spark advance in response to the signal from the knock sensors. The
Traction Control system Desired Torque signal from the EBTCM may cause
Knock Retard to display a value greater than 0.0 degrees if Traction
Control is active.
Long Term FT: Scan Tool Range -23% to 16%.
Long Term Fuel Trim is derived from the Short Term Fuel Trim value and
represents a long-term correction of fuel delivery. A value of 0% indicates
that fuel delivery requires no compensation to maintain the PCM commanded
air/fuel ratio. A negative value significantly below 0% indicates that
the fuel system is rich and fuel delivery is being reduced (decreased
injector pulse width). A positive value significantly greater than 0%
indicates that a lean condition exists and the PCM is compensating by
adding fuel (increased injector pulse width). Because Long Term Fuel
Trim tends to follow Short Term Fuel Trim; a value in the negative range
due to canister purge at idle should not be considered unusual. The
PCM s maximum authority to control long term fuel trim allows a range
between -23% and +16%. Fuel trim values at or near maximum authority
may indicate an excessively rich or lean system.
Loop Status: Scan Tool Displays OPEN or CLOSED.
A display of CLOSED indicates that the PCM is controlling fuel delivery
according to oxygen sensor voltage. In Open Loop, the PCM ignores the oxygen
sensor voltage and bases the amount of fuel to be delivered on TP sensor,
engine coolant, and MAF sensor inputs only.
Low Oil Lamp: Scan Tool Displays ON or OFF.
The Low Oil Lamp display represents the PCM commanded state of the Low
Engine Oil Lamp. The PCM commands the Lamp ON when the Engine Oil Level Switch
indicates that a low oil condition exists.
MAF: Scan Tool Range 0.0-512 g/s.
The MAF (Mass Air Flow) display indicates the MAF Input Frequency converted
to grams of air per second. This indicates the amount of air entering the
engine.
MAF Frequency: Scan Tool Range 0 to 32000 Hz.
The Mass Air Flow sensor input signal to the PCM is a frequency which
varies from around 3000 Hz at idle to above 7000 Hz at wide-open
throttle. The PCM converts this frequency signal to grams per second
to be displayed on the scan tool as MAF.
MAP: Scan Tool Range 10-105 kPa/0.00 to 4.97 Volts.
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the change in the
intake manifold pressure from engine load, EGR flow, and speed changes. As
intake manifold pressure increases, intake vacuum decreases resulting
in a higher MAP sensor voltage and kPa reading. The MAP sensor signal
is used to monitor intake manifold pressure changes during the EGR flow
test, to update the BARO reading, and as an enabling factor for many
of the diagnostics.
MIL: Scan Tool Displays ON or OFF.
The scan tool display indicates the PCM commanded state of the Malfunction
Indicator Lamp.
Misfire Current Cyl #1 / Misfire Current Cyl #2 / Misfire Current Cyl
#3 / Misfire Current Cyl #4 / Misfire Current Cyl #5 / Misfire Current Cyl
#6: Scan Tool Range 0 to 198 Counts.
The Misfire Current counters indicate the number of cylinder firing
events detected as possible misfires on each cylinder during the last 200
crankshaft revolutions. The number that the counters display are twice
the actual number of misfire events detected. The counters may normally
display some activity, but the activity should be very low and nearly
equal for all the cylinders.
Misfire History Cyl #1 / Misfire History Cyl #2 / Misfire History Cyl
#3 / Misfire History Cyl #4 / Misfire History Cyl #5 / Misfire History Cyl
#6: Scan Tool Range 0 to 65535 Counts.
The Misfire History counters indicate the total level of misfire that
has been detected on each cylinder. The number that the counters display
are twice the actual number of misfire events detected. The Misfire
History counters will not update or show any activity until a misfire
DTC P0300 has become active. The Misfire History counters will
be updated every time a 200 crankshaft revolution misfire test failure
is detected.
Misfiring Cylinder (Primary) / Misfiring Cylinder (Secondary): Scan Tool Displays 0 or Cylinder #.
If a misfire is being detected, Misfiring Cylinder displays the misfiring
cylinder number(s).
Power Enrichment: Scan Tool Displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE.
A scan tool display of ACTIVE indicates that the PCM detects conditions
appropriate to operate in Power Enrichment mode. The PCM will command Power
Enrichment mode when a large increase in throttle position and load
is detected. While in Power Enrichment, the PCM will increase the amount
of fuel delivered by entering Open Loop and increasing the injector
pulse width. This is done to prevent a possible sag or hesitation from
occurring during acceleration.
Rich/Lean: Scan Tool Displays RICH or LEAN.
The Rich/Lean display indicates whether oxygen sensor voltage is greater
than a 600 mV threshold voltage (rich) or less than a 300 mV threshold voltage
(lean). Should change constantly while in closed loop, indicating that
the PCM is controlling the air/fuel mixture properly.
Short Term FT: Scan Tool Range -11% to 20%.
Short Term Fuel Trim represents a short-term correction to fuel delivery
by the PCM in response to the amount of time the fuel control oxygen sensor
voltage spends above or below the 450 mV threshold. If the oxygen sensor
voltage has mainly remained less than 450 mV, indicating a lean air/fuel
mixture, short term fuel trim will increase into the positive range
above 0% and the PCM will add fuel. If the oxygen sensor voltage stays
mainly above the threshold, short term fuel trim will decrease below
0% into the negative range while the PCM reduces fuel delivery to compensate
for the indicated rich condition. Under certain conditions such as extended
idle and high ambient temperatures, canister purge may cause Short Term
Fuel Trim to read in the negative range during normal operation. The
PCM s maximum authority to control fuel trim allows a range between
-11% and +20%. Fuel trim values at maximum authority may indicate an
excessively rich or lean system.
Spark: Scan Tool Range -64 degrees to 64 degrees.
Displays the spark timing being commanded by the PCM on the IC circuit.
A negative (-) value indicates degrees Before Top Dead Center (BTDC) or spark
advance; a positive value indicates degrees After Top Dead Center (ATDC)
or spark retard. Because the ignition control module sets spark advance
at a fixed value of 10° BTDC while operating in Bypass mode, the
displayed Spark advance only reflects true spark timing when the PCM
has commanded IC mode.
Start-Up ECT: Scan Tool Range -40°C to 151°C, -40°F to 304°F.
The scan tool display indicates the Engine Coolant Temperature at the
time that the vehicle was started. Used by the HO2S diagnostic to determine
if the last startup was a cold start.
Start-Up IAT: Scan Tool Range -40°C to 151°C, -40°F to 304°F.
The scan tool display indicates the Intake Air Temperature at the time
that the vehicle was started. Used by the HO2S diagnostic to determine if
the last startup was a cold start.
Throttle At Idle: Scan Tool Displays YES or NO.
The scan tool display indicates whether the TP Angle being monitored
by the PCM is at 0%.
Total Misfire Current Count: Scan Tool Range 0 to 99.
The scan tool display indicates the total number of cylinder firing
events that were detected as being misfires during the last 200 crankshaft
revolution sample period.

The scan tool display indicates the number of 200 crankshaft revolution
sample periods during which the level of misfire was sufficiently high to
report a failure.
Total Misfire Passes Since First Fail: Scan Tool Range 0 to 65535 Counts.
The scan tool display indicates the number of 200 crankshaft revolution
sample periods during which the level of misfire was sufficiently low to
report a pass.
TP Angle: Scan Tool Range 0% to 100%.
The PCM computes TP Angle from the TP Sensor Voltage. TP Angle should
display 0% at idle and 100% at wide open throttle.
TP Sensor: Scan Tool Range 0.00 to 5.00 Volts.
The scan tool display indicates the voltage being monitored by the PCM
on the TP sensor signal circuit.
Transmission Range: Scan Tool Displays INVALID, PARK/NEUTRAL, REVERSE, DRIVE 4, DRIVE
3, DRIVE 2, or LOW.
Transmission Range represents the decoded status of the four inputs
from the Transaxle Range Switch Assembly. The combination of transaxle range
inputs indicates the position of the transaxle manual valve.
TR Switch P / A / B / C: Scan Tool Displays HIGH or LOW.
The TR Switch P / A / B / C display represents the states of the four
inputs from the transaxle range switch. HIGH displayed indicates a B+ voltage
signal being monitored at the PCM, LOW displayed indicates a grounded
input signal. The combination of transaxle range inputs indicates the
position of the transaxle manual valve.
TWC Diagnostic: Scan Tool Displays ENABLED or DISABLED.
The scan tool display of ENABLED indicates that MAF, HO2S, ECT, or VSS
DTCs that would disable the TWC diagnostic are not present.
TWC Monitor Test Counter: Scan Tool Range 0-49.
The TWC monitor test counter increments while the TWC system diagnostic
test is running and taking samples. When the TWC Monitor Test Counter reaches
49, the PCM will update the TWC diagnostic statistical filter. At this
point, the TWC Monitor Test Counter will reset to 0 and begin incrementing
again. The TWC Monitor Test Counter is most useful when verifying a
Three-way catalytic converter replacement or any repair associated with
the DTC P0420 diagnostic table.
TWC Protection: Scan Tool Displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. The scan tool display of
ACTIVE indicates that the PCM has detected conditions appropriate to operate
in TWC Protection mode. This is determined based on Engine Load and
Engine Coolant Temperature. While in TWC Protection, the PCM will decrease
Air/Fuel Ratio to a value that depends on Mass Air Flow (higher Mass
Airflow = lower Air/Fuel Ratio).
Vehicle Speed: Scan Tool Range 0-255 km/h, 0-155 mph.
The vehicle speed sensor signal is converted into mph and km/h for display.
VTD Fuel Disable: Scan Tool Displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE.
The PCM enables the fuel injectors if the proper Theft Deterrent Fuel
Enable signal from the Vehicle Theft Deterrent (VTD) Control Module is
received. The scan tool normally displays INACTIVE. If the VTD Control
Module does not send the correct Theft Deterrent Fuel Enable Signal to
the PCM, the display will switch to ACTIVE and the fuel system may be
disabled. Refer to DTCs P1626, P1629, or the Vehicle Theft Deterrent
System for further diagnosis.
