Parameter

System State

Expected Value

Description

Operating Conditions: Ignition ON/engine OFF or engine ON

Battery Voltage

--

8-16

The scan tool displays 0-16 volts. The voltage measured between the modules battery positive voltage circuit and ground circuit.

Engine Run

--

Varies

This parameter displays if engine is ON or OFF.

--

Varies

This parameter displays the angle of the throttle position (TP) sensor in percent. This information is calculated by the control module using the signal from the throttle position sensor. The scan tool will display a low percentage when the throttle plates are closed. The scan tool will display a high percentage when the throttle plates are fully open.

Vehicle Speed

--

Varies

This parameter indicates the vehicle speed calculated by the control module based on an input from the vehicle speed sensor (VSS).
