Fuel Level: The scan tool displays 0 to 70 L (0 to 18.5 gal). The PCM monitors the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor in order to determine the fuel level.

Fuel Level Sensor: The scan tool displays 0 to 5 Volts. The PCM monitors the signal circuit of the fuel level sensor. The scan tool displays low voltage with low fuel level.

Head Lamp Switch: The scan tool displays Off or On. The dash integration module (DIM) monitors the signal circuit of the headlamp switch. A closed switch is displayed as On.

HUD Dimming: The scan tool displays Off or On. The instrument panel module (IPM) monitors the HUD active signal circuit.

Ignition 1: The scan tool displays Off or On. The IPC monitors the ignition 1 voltage circuit.

IMS: The scan tool displays PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE 4, DRIVE 3, DRIVE 2, DRIVE 1, or INVALID. The PCM monitors the signal circuit of the automatic transmission internal mode switch. If a valid combination of inputs is not received by the PCM, INVALID will be displayed.

Info. Reset Switch: The scan tool displays Off or On. The IPC monitors the signal circuit of the INFO RESET button of the DIC. A closed switch is displayed as On.

Information Down Switch: The scan tool displays Off or On. The IPC monitors the signal circuit of the INFO Down button of the DIC. A closed switch is displayed as On.

Information Up Switch: The scan tool displays Off or On. The IPC monitors the signal circuit of the INFO Up button of the DIC. A closed switch is displayed as On.

Julian Date of Build: The scan tool displays the 3 digit build date of the IPC.

Key In Ignition: The scan tool displays Yes or No. The IPM monitors the key in ignition signal circuit. A closed switch, with the key in the ignition, is displayed as Yes.

Left Turn Signal: The scan tool displays Off or On. The IPC monitors the left turn lamps supply voltage circuit. An active turn signal will toggle between On and Off.

Low Coolant Level: The scan tool displays OK or Low. The IPC monitors the signal circuit of the coolant level switch. Low coolant level, or a closed switch, is displayed as Low.

On/Off Switch: The scan tool displays Off or On. The IPC monitors the signal circuit of the ON/OFF button of the DIC. A closed switch is displayed as On.

Park Lamp: The scan tool displays Off or On. The dash integration module (DIM) monitors the park lamp switch on signal circuit. A closed switch is displayed as On.

Park Brake Switch: The scan tool displays Off or On. The IPC monitors the signal circuit of the park brake release switch. An applied park brake, or a closed switch is displayed as On.

PROM ID: The scan tool displays the 4 digit number that identifies the IPC PROM.

Reflective Display: The scan tool displays Off or On. The status of the reflective display on the IPC.

Right Turn Signal: The scan tool displays Off or On. The IPC monitors the right turn lamps supply voltage circuit. An active turn signal will toggle between On and Off.

Trip Odometer A/B Switch: The scan tool displays Off or On. The IPC monitors the signal circuit of the TRIP A/B button of the DIC. A closed switch is displayed as On.
