GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

Use the scan tool data listed in this table for comparison after performing the On-Board Diagnostic system check and finding the on-board diagnostics function properly with no diagnostic codes displayed. Not all parameters will apply to each vehicle. Use only the parameters which apply to your particular vehicle.

The Typical Scan Tool Data Values are an average of display values recorded from normally operating vehicles. The Typical Scan Tool Data Values represent the values a normally functioning system will display. The values you get may vary due to a low battery charge or other reasons, but they should be very similar to the typical values provided in the following list.

Do not use a scan tool that displays erroneous data. Report the problem to the manufacturer. The use of a faulty scan tool can result in misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts replacement.

Use only the parameters listed in the tables for diagnosis.
