AC Relay Command: This parameter indicates the commanded state of the A/C clutch
control (MG) relay. The A/C clutch should be engaged when the scan tool displays
on.
AC Request Signal: This parameter indicates whether the A/C switch on the instrument
panel (IP) has been selected.
ECT Sensor: The scan tool range is -40 to +140°C (-40 to +284°F).
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor which changes
internal resistance as the temperature changes. When the sensor
is cold (internal resistance high), the PCM monitors a high
signal voltage and interprets the voltage 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.
