The HVAC Scan Tool Data Definitions contains a brief description of all HVAC
related parameters available on the scan tool. The list is in alphabetical order.
A given parameter may appear in any one of the data lists. In some cases, the parameter
may appear more than once or in more than one data list in order to group certain
related parameters together.
BCM-Inputs-A/C Switch : The scan tool displays Active
or Inactive. Displays the state of the air conditioning (A/C) request signal circuit
from the HVAC control assembly to the body control module (BCM).
PCM-A/C Relay Command: The scan tool displays On or Off.
On is displayed when the powertrain control module (PCM) has energized the A/C compressor
clutch relay.
PCM-Engine Data 2-A/C High Side Pressure Sensor: The scan tool displays -103 to +3119 kPa, (-14 to +452 psi).
This parameter represents the A/C refrigerant pressure sensor voltage signal converted
to pressure.
PCM-Engine Data 2-A/C High Side Pressure Sensor: The scan tool displays 0 to 5 volts. The output of the A/C refrigerant pressure
sensor.
PCM-Engine Data 2-A/C Off For WOT: The scan tool
displays Yes or No. Yes indicates that the PCM has disabled the A/C compressor because
the throttle position (TP) sensor signal is at wide open throttle.
PCM-Engine Data 2-A/C Pressure Disable: The scan
tool displays Yes or No. Yes is displayed when the system pressure exceeds 2 968 kPa
(430 psi).
PCM-Engine Data 2-A/C Request Signal: The scan tool
displays Yes or No. Yes is displayed when the PCM receives an A/C request signal from
the BCM.
PCM-Output Driver Data-A/C Relay Circuit Status: The scan tool displays OK or Fault. Fault is displayed when an open or short is detected
in the A/C compressor clutch relay ground circuit.
