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. 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.

the EGR pintle in percent. 0% displayed indicates a fully extended pintle
(EGR valve closed).
Air/Fuel Ratio: Scan Tool Displays 0.0 to 25.5. Air Fuel Ratio indicates the PCM
commanded value. In closed loop, 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.
APP Average: The Scan Tool Displays 0-150 counts. When the accelerator
pedal is fully depressed the scan tool will display approximately 122 counts.
The TAC Module takes the voltages from the 3 APP Sensors, averages the
readings and converts the readings into counts. The scan tool displays
the average. The average is different on every vehicle.

not within the specifications, the scan tool displays YES. If the APP Sensor
voltage is within the specifications, the scan tool displays No.
BARO: Scan Tool Displays 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.
Clutch Anticipate Switch: Scan Tool Displays APPLIED or RELEASED. The PCM monitors the
Clutch Pedal Switch input; if a low voltage is monitored, the PCM considers
the Clutch Anticipate Switch closed to ground (clutch pedal released).
This is done to avoid a possible RPM flare caused by the sudden change
in engine load.
Commanded A/C: Scan Tool Displays ON or OFF. 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.

of the Cruise Status Input from the PCM module. Cruise should not display
DISENGAGED unless the vehicle is operating in cruise control.
Cruise Disengage History 1-6: The Scan Tool Displays the last 6 cruise control disengages in
order from 1 to 6. There are 30 possible causes for the cruise control to
disengage.
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. The actual forward gear
that the Transaxle is in will be the lower of the two because the
manual valve can override the PCM commanded gear.

cruise brake switch and the cruise clutch switch wired in series on manual
transmission vehicles. Represents the position of the brake pedal and clutch
as seen by the PCM. If the brake or clutch pedal is applied the PCM will
not allow the cruise to engage.
Cruise Resume/Accel: The scan Tool Displays ON or OFF. When the Cruise control switch
is in the on position and the Resume/Accel switch is activated, the scan tool
displays ON. The switch, when in the ON position, sends a signal voltage
to the TAC Module, that signal is then sent to the PCM across serial data.
When the Resume/Accel switch is released the scan tool displays OFF.
Cruise Set/Coast: The Scan Tool Displays ON or OFF. When the Cruise control switch
is in the on position and the Set/Coast switch is activated, the scan tool

voltage to the TAC Module, that signal is then sent to the PCM across serial
data. When the Set/Coast switch is released the scan tool displays
OFF.
Cruise Switch: The Scan Tool Displays ON or OFF. When you activate the cruise
control switch, the scan tool displays ON. The switch, when in the ON position,
sends a signal voltage to the TAC Module, that signal is then sent to the
PCM across serial data. This allows all other functions of the Cruise
Control. When you turn off the cruise control switch, the scan tool
displays OFF.
Current Gear: The scan tool displays 0-4. The scan tool display the gear
that the transmission is in. An illegal transmission position displays 9.
Decel Fuel Mode: Scan Tool Displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. ACTIVE is displayed if the
PCM has detected conditions appropriate to operate in Deceleration Fuel
Mode. The PCM will command 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 Displays 0% to 100%. Represents the EGR pintle position
that the PCM is commanding. Desired EGR Position should stay close to Actual
EGR Position.

based on engine coolant temperature to keep the engine at the desired
idle speed.
ECT: Scan Tool Displays -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 Displays 0.0 to 5.0 Volts. Represents the learned voltage
that the PCM uses to determine whether or not the EGR valve is fully closed
(0 percent pintle position). If the Desired EGR Position is 0% and
a difference of more than 0.4 volt between EGR Feedback and EGR Closed
Valve Pintle Position is detected, DTC P1406 will set.
EGR Duty Cycle: Scan Tool Displays 0% to 100%. Represents the EGR valve driver
PWM signal from the PCM. A duty cycle of 0 percent indicates that no EGR flow
is being commanded; a 100 percent duty cycle indicates maximum EGR
flow commanded.
EGR Feedback: Scan Tool Displays 0.00 to 5.00 Volts. Indicates the EGR
pintle position sensor signal voltage being monitored by the PCM. 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 Displays 0 to 255. 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 Displays 0% to 100%. 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 P1406 will set.
Engine Load: Scan Tool Displays 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 Run Time: Scan Tool Displays 00:00:00 to 99:99:99 Hrs:Min:Sec. Indicates
the time elapsed since the engine was started. If the engine is stopped, ENGINE
RUN TIME will be reset to 00:00:00.

speed and MAF sensor readings. A plot of RPM vs. MAF is divided into 10 cells.
Fuel trim cell indicates which cell is currently active.
Fuel Trim Learn: Scan Tool Displays YES or NO. When conditions are appropriate for
enabling long term fuel trim corrections, FUEL TRIM LEARN will display yes.
This indicates that the long term fuel trim is responding to short
term fuel trim. If the Fuel Trim Learn displays NO, long term fuel
trim will not respond to changes in short term fuel trim.
HO2S Bank 1 Sen. 1 / Bank 2 Sen. 1 / Bank 1 Sen. 3: Scan Tool Displays 0 to 1132 mV. Represents the fuel control exhaust
oxygen sensor output voltage. Should fluctuate constantly within a range between
10 mV (lean exhaust) and 1000 mV (rich exhaust) while operating in
Closed Loop.
HO2S Bank 1 Sen. 1 / Bank 2 Sen. 1: Scan Tool Displays READY or NOT READY. Indicates the status of
the fuel control exhaust oxygen sensor. The scan tool will indicate 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 Warm-Up Sensor Bank 1 Sen. 1 / Bank 2 Sen. 1 / Bank 1 Sen. 3: Scan Tool Displays 00:00 to 99:99 MIN:SEC. 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 Bank 1 / Bank 2: Scan Tool Displays 0 to 255. 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.
IAT: Scan Tool Displays -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 Displays 0 to 25.5 Volts. Represents the system voltage
measured by the PCM at its ignition feed.
Ignition Mode: Scan Tool Displays BYPASS or IC. 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 Displays 0 to 1000 msec. 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 Displays 0.0 degrees to 25.5 degrees. 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 Fuel Trim BN1 / BN2: Scan Tool Displays -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. Closed Loop 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.
MAF: Scan Tool Displays 0.0-512 gm/s. MAF (Mass Air Flow) is the MAF
Input Frequency converted to grams of air per second. This indicates the amount
of air entering the engine.
MAF Frequency: Scan Tool Displays 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 Displays 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. Indicates the PCM commanded state
of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp.
Misfire Current Cyl #1- Misfire Current Cyl #6: Scan Tool Displays 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- Cyl #6: Scan Tool Displays 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. ACTIVE displayed indicates
that the PCM has detected 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.
Reduced Engine Power: Scan Tool Displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. The scan tool displays Active
when the PCM has diagnosed a ETC problem or during drivetrain abuse protection.
The PCM limits the engine power.
Rich/Lean BN1 / BN2: Scan Tool Displays RICH or LEAN. 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 Fuel Trim BN1 / BN2: Scan Tool Displays -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 Displays -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.
Starter Inhibit: Scan Tool Displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. Indicates if the PCM has
received the correct inputs for startup. If ACTIVE is displayed a fault exists
in the Theft Deterrent System.
Start-Up ECT: Scan Tool Displays -40°C to 151°C, -40°F to 304°F.

started. Used by the HO2S diagnostic to determine if the last startup
was a cold start.
Start-Up IAT: Scan Tool Displays -40°C to 151°C, -40°F to 304°F.
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.
TAC Brake Switch: Scan Tool Displays APPLIED or RELEASED. Indicates the brake pedal
position. When the brake pedal is depressed a signal voltage is sent to the
TAC Module, that signal is then sent to the PCM across serial data.
TAC/PCM Communication: The Scan Tool Displays OK or FAULT. If the communication between
the TAC Module and the PCM is interrupted the scan tool displays FAULT. The
scan tool displays OK under the normal operating conditions.
Total Misfire Current Count: Scan Tool Displays 0 to 99. Indicates the total number of cylinder
firing events that were detected as being misfires during the last 200 crankshaft
revolution sample period.

displays the amount of throttle opening in percentage. Closed throttle displays
0 percent and wide open throttle displays near 100 percent.
TP Sensors Disagree: The Scan Tool Displays YES or NO. When the TAC module receives
a signal voltage from one of the throttle Position Sensors not in proper relationship
to the other, the scan tool displays YES. The scan tool displays
NO under normal operating conditions.
TP Sensor 1 Out of Range: The Scan Tool Displays YES or NO. If the TAC module detects that
the voltage is below .37 volts at closed throttle or above 4.7 volts at wide
open throttle, the scan tool displays YES. If the voltages are within
specifications, the scan tool displays NO.
TP Sensor 2 Out of Range: The Scan Tool Displays YES or NO. If the TAC module detects that
the voltage is below .37 volts or at closed throttle or above 4.7 volts at
wide open throttle, the scan tool displays YES. If the voltages are
within specifications, the scan tool displays NO.
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 A / B / C: Scan Tool Displays HIGH or LOW. The TR Switch 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 Protection: Scan Tool Displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. ACTIVE displayed 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 Displays 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 Theft Deterrent Fuel
Enable circuit is an input from the Vehicle Theft Deterrent Control Module
that signals the PCM to enable the injectors if the proper signal
is received. The scan tool will normally display INACTIVE. If the
Vehicle Theft Deterrent Control Module does not sent 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 Vehicle Theft Deterrent diagnosis for further information.
