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 Sensor: 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 Sensor: 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.
