The scan tool displays On or Off.
A.I.R. Solenoid: A.I.R. Solenoid indicates the diagnostic state of the output driver
for the AIR solenoid control circuit. The scan tool displays Fault or OK.
Air Fuel Ratio: Scan tool range 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.
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.
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.
Commanded Fan 1 / Commanded Fan 2: Scan tool displays ON or OFF. Represents 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. OFF displayed indicates that the
PCM has commanded the generator control circuit OFF.
Commanded Starter: Scan tool displays ENABLED or DISABLED. A Disabled display indicates
that the PCM has inhibited starter relay operation. The PCM will inhibit
starter relay operation if the engine is running, a correct VTD
password has not been received from the VTD module or if the starter
is engaged for an extended period of time.
Cruise: Scan tool displays ENGAGED or DISENGAGED. Represents the state
of the Cruise Status Input form the SMCC module. Cruise should not display
ENGAGED unless the vehicle is operating in cruise control.
Cruise Inhibited: Scan tool displays YES or NO. YES displayed indicates that the
PCM is commanding the SMCC module to inhibit cruise control operation. 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. 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.
Decel Fuel Mode: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. ACTIVE displayed indicates
that 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 range 0 percent to 100 percent. 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. Represents the idle speed
that is commanded by the PCM. The PCM will compensate for various engine
loads based on engine coolant temperature to keep the engine at
the desired idle speed.
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. 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
percent 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 range 0 percent to 100 percent. 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 range 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 range 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 range 0 percent to 100 percent. 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 range 0 percent to 100 percent. 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. Indicates the oil level as determined
by the Engine Oil Level switch.
Engine Oil Life: Scan tool range 0 percent to 100 percent. Indicates the engine
oil life index. The PCM calculates Engine Oil Life based upon the number
of engine revolutions seen and operating conditions such as calculated
oil temperature. Pressing the Oil Life Monitor reset switch will
return the displayed Engine Oil Life to 100 percent.
EOP Sensor: Scan tool range 0.00 to 5.00 volts. Represents the engine oil pressure
sensor signal voltage. The PCM transmits engine oil pressure information
to the IPC via class 2 serial data. The normal range of the engine
oil pressure sensor is between 0.5 volt at 0 kPa (0 PSI) and 4.5
volts at 883 kPa (128 PSI).
Engine Run Time: Scan tool range 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.
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 percent to 100 percent Represents the PCM commanded
PWM duty cycle of the EVAP Purge valve. 0 percent displayed indicates no
purge; 100 percent displayed indicates full purge.
Fuel Pump: Scan tool displays ON or OFF. Indicates the PCM commanded state
of the fuel pump relay control circuit.
Fuel Pump Speed: Scan tool displays NORMAL or HIGH. Indicates the PCM commanded
state of the fuel pump speed control PWM circuit to the fuel pump control
module. The fuel pump will be run at high speed to deliver more
fuel volume when the MAP sensor indicates high engine load or
when system voltage is less than 10 volts.
Fuel Trim Cell: Scan tool range 0 to 9 fuel trim cell is dependent upon engine
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 NO or YES. When conditions are appropriate for
enabling Long Term FT corrections, FUEL TRIM LEARN will display yes.
This indicates that the Long Term FT is responding to short term
fuel trim. If the Fuel Trim Learn displays NO, Long Term FT will
not respond to changes in Short Term FT.
Generator PWM: Scan tool range 0 percent to 100 percent. Represents the field
terminal input from the generator. The field PWM duty cycle indicates generator
output level; a higher duty cycle indicates a higher generator
output. The PCM uses the generator F terminal signal to adjust
spark and IAC to compensate for variances in engine load caused
by the generator.
HO2S Sen. 1: Scan tool range 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 Sen. 1: Scan tool displays NOT READY or 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 Sen. 2: Scan tool range 0 to 1132 mV. 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. 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. 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: Range 0 to 255. displays 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. 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.
Knock Retard: Scan tool range 0.0 degrees to 25.5 degrees. Indicates the amount
of spark the PCM is removing from the 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 more than 0.0 degrees if Traction Control is active.
Long Term Fuel Trim: Scan tool range -23 percent to 16 percent. Long Term FT is derived
from the Short Term FT value and represents a long-term correction of fuel
delivery. A value of 0 percent indicates that fuel delivery requires
no compensation to maintain the PCM commanded air/fuel ratio.
A negative value significantly below 0 percent indicates that
the fuel system is rich and fuel delivery is being reduced (decreased
injector pulse width). A positive value significantly more than
0 percent 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 FT; 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 FT allows a range
between -23 percent and +16 percent. 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 range 0.0-512 gm/s. Mass air flow (MAF) is the MAF Input
frequency converted to grams of air per second. This indicates the amount
of air entering the engine.
MAF Input 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. Indicates the PCM commanded state
of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp.
Misfire Current Cyl #1- 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- 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 numbers.
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.
Rich/Lean: Scan tool displays RICH or LEAN. Indicates whether oxygen sensor
voltage is more 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: Scan tool range -11 percent to 20 percent. Short Term FT 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 FT will increase into the positive range above 0 percent
and the PCM will add fuel. If the oxygen sensor voltage stays
mainly above the threshold, short term fuel trim will decrease
below 0 percent 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 FT to read in the negative
range during normal operation. The PCM's maximum authority to
control fuel trim allows a range between -11 percent and +20 percent.
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.
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.
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. Indicates whether the TP angle being
monitored by the PCM is at 0 percent.
Total Misfire Current Count:: Scan tool range 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.
Total Misfire Failures Since First Fail: Scan tool range 0 to 65535 Counts. 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. 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 percent to 100 percent. TP angle is computed
by the PCM from the TP sensor voltage. TP angle should display 0
percent at idle and 100 percent at wide open throttle.
TP Sensor: Scan tool range 0.00 to 5.00 volts. The voltage being monitored
by the PCM on the TP sensor signal circuit.
Traction Control: Scan tool displays ACTIVE or INACTIVE. ACTIVE displayed indicates
that the traction control system is taking action to reduce drive wheel
slippage.
Traction Control Desired Torque: Scan tool range 0 percent to 100 percent. Represents the
PWM signal from the Electronic Brake and traction control module. The EBTCM
reduces the Traction Control Desired Torque signal pulse width
when a drive wheel slippage situation is detected. The PCM monitors
the Traction Control Desired Torque signal and reduces drive wheel
slippage as necessary by retarding spark timing, decreasing boost
sol. PWM, or increasing air/fuel ratio. The PCM can also turn OFF
up to three fuel injectors if the Traction Control Desired Torque
signal indicates a large enough amount of drive wheel slippage.
A problem with the Traction Control Desired Torque signal should cause
DTC P1571 to set.
Traction Control Torque: Scan tool range 0 percent to 100 percent. Represents the PWM signal
which indicates the percent of available torque the engine is delivering
to the drive wheels. The EBTCM monitors the Traction Control Torque
signal to ensure that the PCM is responding properly to the Traction
Control Desired Torque signal.
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. ENABLED displayed 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. 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 range 0-255 km/h, 0-155 mph. The vehicle speed
sensor signal is converted into mph and km/h for display.
