Engine 1 Data List
Engine Speed:: The scan tool range is 0-10,000 RPM. Engine speed
is computed by the PCM from the ignition reference pulses. It should remain
close to desired idle under various engine loads with engine idling.
Desired Idle Speed:: The scan tool range is 0-3187 RPM. The desired idle
is 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 speed.
ECT:: The scan tool range is -39°C-140°C (-38°F-284°F).
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is mounted in the cylinder head
of the left bank. 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 will decrease and the
PCM will interpret the lower voltage as a warm engine.
Startup ECT:: The scan tool range is -39°C- 140°C (-38°F-284°F).
When the engine is started, the PCM records the engine coolant temperature.
The PCM uses the recorded temperature in order to calculate the time to a
closed loop.
IAT Sensor:: The scan tool range is -39°C-140°C (-38°F-284°F).

Short Term FT Bank 1:: The scan tool displays percentage. Short term fuel trim 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 then 450 mV, indicating a lean air/fuel mixture, short term fuel
trim will increase into the positive range above 0%/128 and the PCM will
add fuel. If the oxygen sensor voltage stays mainly above the threshold,
short term fuel trim will decrease below 0%/128 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 fuel trim to read in the negative range
during normal operation. Fuel trim values at maximum authority may indicate
an excessively rich or lean system.

Long Term FT Bank 1:: The scan tool displays percentage. Long term fuel trim is derived
from the short term fuel trim value and represents a long term correction

value significantly greater than 0%/128 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 fuel trim, a value

an idle cell will be rated higher than a wide open cell. If a fueling malfunction
is occurring in the idle cell and the wide open cell, the average would be
more affected by the idle cell than the wide open cell. A negative value
significantly below 0% indicates that the fuel system is rich and fuel delivery
is being reduced (decreased injector pulse width). A positive value significantly
greater than 0% indicates that a lean condition exists and the PCM is compensating
by adding fuel (increased injector pulse width).
Long Term FT Bank 1 Average:: The scan tool displays percentage (%). This parameter indicates
the average of all long term fuel trim cells. The short term fuel trim cells
are rated (weighted) for the amount of which they are used. For example,
an idle cell will be rated higher than a wide open cell. If a fueling malfunction
is occurring in the idle cell and the wide open cell, the average would be
more affected by the idle cell than the wide open cell. A negative value
significantly below 128/0% indicates that the fuel system is rich and fuel
delivery is being reduced (decreased injector pulse width). A positive value
significantly greater than 128/0% indicates that a lean condition exists
and the PCM is compensating by adding fuel (increased injector pulse width).

Short Term FT Bank 1:: The scan tool displays counts. Short term fuel trim 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 fuel
trim will increase above 128 and the PCM will add fuel. If the oxygen sensor
voltage stays mainly above the threshold, short term fuel trim will decrease
below 128 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 fuel trim to read low during
normal operation. Fuel trim values at maximum authority may indicate an excessively
rich or lean system.
Short Term FT Bank 2:: The scan tool displays counts. Short term fuel trim 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

trim will increase above 128 and the PCM will add fuel. If the oxygen sensor
voltage stays mainly above the threshold, short term fuel trim will decrease
below 128 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 fuel trim to read low during
normal operation. Fuel trim values at maximum authority may indicate an excessively
rich or lean system.
Long Term FT Bank 1:: The scan tool displays percentage (%). Long term fuel trim is derived
from the short term fuel trim value and represents a long term correction
of fuel delivery. A value of 0%/128 indicates that fuel delivery requires
no compensation to maintain the PCM commanded air/fuel ratio. A negative
value significantly below 0%/128 indicates that the fuel system is rich and
fuel delivery is being reduced (decreased injector pulse width). A positive
value significantly greater than 0%/128 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 fuel trim; a value
in the negative range due to canister purge at idle should not be considered
unusual. Fuel trim values at maximum authority may indicate an excessively
rich or lean system.

fuel trim was formerly the fuel integrator. The short term fuel trim represents
a short term correction to the fuel delivery by the PCM in response to the
amount of time the HO2S voltage spends above or below the 450 mV threshold.
An HO2S voltage reading below 450 mV indicates a lean air to fuel
mixture. If the HO2S voltage has mainly been below 450 mV threshold,
the short term fuel trim increases in order to tell the PCM to add fuel.
If the HO2S voltage stays mainly above the threshold, the PCM reduces the
fuel delivery in order to compensate for the indicated rich condition.

mixture. If the HO2S voltage has mainly been below 450 mV threshold,

fuel delivery in order to compensate for the indicated rich condition.
Long Term FT Bank 1:: The scan tool range is 0-255 counts. The long term
fuel trim (FT) is derived from the short term fuel trim value. The PCM uses
the long term fuel trim for the long term correction of the fuel delivery.
A value of 128 counts (0%) indicates that the fuel delivery requires no compensation
to maintain a 14.7:1 air to fuel ratio. A value below 128 counts means that
the fuel system is too rich and the fuel delivery is being reduced, decreased
injector pulse width. A value above 128 counts indicates that a lean condition
exists. The PCM compensates by adding fuel, increased injector pulse width.

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is mounted in the cylinder head
of the left bank. 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 will decrease and the
PCM will interpret the lower voltage as a warm engine.
