The Engine Control Module Scan Tool Data List contains all ECM related parameters that are available on the scan tool. The list is arranged in alphabetical order. A given parameter may appear in any one of the data lists, and in some cases may appear more than once, or in more than one data list in order to group certain related parameters together.
Use the Engine Control Module Scan Tool Data List only after the following is determined:
• | The Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle is completed. |
• | No diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are present. |
• | The on-board diagnostics are functioning properly. |
