rated (Weighted) for the amount of which they are used. For example, an
idle cell is rated higher then a wide open cell. If a fueling malfunction
occurs in the idle cell and the wide open cell, the average would be more
affected by the idle cell then the wide open cell. 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
greater than 0 percent indicates that a lean condition exists and the PCM
compensates by adding fuel (increased injector pulse width). When the average
of the cells reach a predetermined high or low, a fuel trim DTC will set.
Long Term FT Bn1 and Bn2: The scan tool displays Percentage. The PCM derives the Long Term
Fuel Trim from the Short Term Fuel Trim value. The Long Term Fuel Trim represents
a long-term correction of fuel delivery. A value of 0 percent indicates
that fuel delivery requires no compensation in order to maintain the PCM
commanded air/fuel ratio. A negative value significantly below 0 percent
indicates that the fuel system is rich and the PCM is reducing the fuel
delivery (decreased injector pulse width). A positive value significantly
greater than 0 percent indicates that a lean condition exists and the PCM
compensates by adding fuel (increased injector pulse width). Fuel trim
values at maximum authority may indicate an excessively rich or lean system.
Loop Status: The scan tool displays Open or Closed. Closed Loop indicates that
the PCM is controlling fuel delivery according to oxygen sensor voltage. In

the engine oil level is low. The scan tool displays YES when the PCM detects
the engine oil level is low.

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the change in the intake
manifold pressure from engine load, and speed changes. As intake manifold
pressure increases, the intake vacuum decreases resulting in a higher MAP
sensor voltage and kPa reading. The PCM uses the MAP sensor signal for
the following: (1) Updating the BARO reading; (2) Enabling factor for several
of the diagnostics.

until a misfire DTC (P0300) has become active. The Misfire History counters
will update every 200 cylinder firing events.

of misfire counts detected in the last misfire test.
ST FT Avg. Bn1 and Bn2: The scan tool displays Percentage. This parameter indicates the
average of the short term fuel trim cells. The short term fuel trim cells
are rated (Weighted) for the amount of which they are used. For example,
the PCM rates an idle cell higher then a wide open cell. If a fueling malfunction
is occurs in the idle cell and the wide open cell, the idle cell would
affect more than then the wide open cell. A negative value significantly
below 0 percent indicates that the fuel system is rich and the PCM is reducing
the fuel delivery (decreased injector pulse width). A positive value significantly
greater than 0 percent indicates that a lean condition exists and the PCM
is compensating by adding fuel (increased injector pulse width). When the
average of the cells reach a predetermined high or low, a fuel trim DTC
sets.
Short Term FT Bn1 and Bn2: The scan tool displays Percentage. The 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 mainly remains less than
450 mV, indicating a lean air/fuel mixture, short term fuel trim increases
into the positive range above 0 percent. The PCM adds fuel. If the oxygen
sensor voltage stays mainly above the threshold, the short term fuel trim
decreases below 0 percent into the negative range. The PCM reduces the
fuel delivery in order to compensate for the indicated rich condition.
Under certain conditions such as an extended idle and a high ambient temperature,
the canister purge may cause the Short Term Fuel Trim to read in the negative
range during normal operation. The Fuel trim values at maximum authority
may indicate an excessively rich or lean system.

Warm Up Cycles w/o Emis. Faults: Scan Tool Range 0-255. This parameter counts the number of
warm up cycles without an emission fault present. The counter increments
to 255 and roll back to 0 unless a fault occurs. If a fault occurs, the
counter reverts back to 0 until the fault is corrected. Clearing the information
with a scan tool or a loss of power to the PCM also resets the counter
to 0.
Warm Up Cycles w/o Non - Emis. Faults: Scan Tool Range 0-255. This parameter counts the number of
warm up cycles without a non-emission fault present. The counter increments
to 255 and roll back to 0 unless a fault occurs. If a fault occurs, the
counter reverts back to 0 until the fault is corrected. Clearing information
with a scan tool or a loss of power to the PCM also resets the counter
to 0.
