The HVAC Scan Tool Data Definitions contains a brief description
of all HVAC related parameters available on the scan tool. The list is in
alphabetical order. A given parameter may appear in any one of the data
lists. In some cases, the parameter may appear more than once or in more
than one data list in order to group certain related parameters together.
BCM -- Inputs -- A/C Switch : The scan tool displays Active or Inactive. Displays the state of
the A/C request signal circuit from the HVAC control assembly to the BCM.
PCM -- A/C Relay Command: The scan tool displays On or Off. On is displayed when the PCM
has energized the A/C compressor clutch relay.
PCM -- Engine Data 2 -- A/C High Side Pressure : The scan tool displays -103 to +3119 kPa, (-14
to +452 psi). This parameter represents the A/C refrigerant pressure
sensor voltage signal converted to pressure.
PCM -- Engine Data 2 -- A/C High Side Pressure: The scan tool displays 0 to 5 volts. The output of the A/C
refrigerant pressure sensor.
PCM -- Engine Data 2 -- A/C Off For WOT: The scan tool displays Yes or No. Yes indicates that the PCM has
disabled the A/C compressor because the TP sensor signal is at wide open throttle.
PCM -- Engine Data 2 -- A/C Pressure Disable: The scan tool displays Yes or No. Yes is displayed when the system
pressure exceeds 2968 kPa (430 psi).
PCM -- Engine Data 2 -- A/C Request Signal: The scan tool displays Yes or No. Yes is displayed when the PCM
receives an A/C request signal from the BCM.
PCM -- Output Driver Data -- A/C Relay Circuit Status: The scan tool displays OK or Fault. Fault is displayed when an
open or short is detected in the A/C compressor clutch relay ground circuit.
